September 8, 200618 yr Dunno what they're singing about so sounds like Arabian muck to me Maybe it grows Top 15
September 8, 200618 yr Arabic muck? They're 2 words Nathan I think you really don't want to string together or you'll be accused of going perilously close to a racist comment -_- I <3 this song :wub:
September 8, 200618 yr I think this will struggle to make the top 20 if i'm been honest and by the time this track charts I reckon HDL will still be higher than her. For anybody hoping that Radio 1 might pick this track up then I seriousley doubt it as if they didn't pick HDL up then I wouldn't expect them to pick this up.
September 9, 200618 yr And I reckon they will probably release this simply because the label forgot they have to follow up her previous single. The album is already strugling with 13,000 copies sold in USA last week, I don´t know what they are waiting, the HDL cow has already been milked to death.
September 9, 200618 yr Author Sony didn't expect HDL to be so popular, so they made their late summer/autumn plans already with Beyonce and other big name stars. This is really only Sony UK though. With no video for Illegal, they want to release something, so here it is. This might do well, and really do well. It's the only latino song out at the moment, and that could generate popularity. It's also different, and "excites" the average viewer. I dunno, they might feel cultured by the song, making it popular. It would be awesome if this makes the Radio 1 playlist. But I fear it'll suffer HDL-fever, and will have to ride on the success of the music video (no doubt it'll be popular).

But if you look at it, the album has been out since November 2005 so nearly a year on, it is still selling...
September 9, 200618 yr Ive just thought; mabye it wont be released, mabye its just gone to tv so that while theyre waiting for illegal to happen, send the LT video out so that it could boost the album now its fallen out of the top 20 here

September 9, 200618 yr HEY I didn't mean like that Just sounds like the stuff you hear on holiday that all sounds the same.... :( :lol: Dont worry I understood what you meant :P And yeah she looked hot at the VMA B)
September 10, 200618 yr Song in a different language... Top25. But just think of the video :o It will deffinatly get good airplay though
September 10, 200618 yr tbh I really don't know, so im going to say top 40 with luck. Even if it does flop though, i dont think she will be seen as a failure as it's a risky move to take, and I think people will realise it. As long as it generates more album sales, mabye even bring it to the top 10 ill be happy
September 10, 200618 yr is the uk ready for all spanish shakira? the uk is notoriously prejudiced and snobbish against songs in a foreign language seen as novelty songs and one hit wonders the rotw embraced la tortura can she do it here? even if it flops here its great that they are trying to push spanish singing shakira, she will definately get new fans with this track

Personally songs in other languages don't do anything for me whatsoever as I don't have a clue what the song is about and a huge majority of the UK probably thinks the same.
