July 8, 200717 yr ^^^ thats incredible!! 15 million, i always thought the 8 million combined figure sounded low and thought 10 or 12 million was more accurate but 15 million!? that unbelievable nowadays, i hope we get something official on her website so we know for sure. i know that the LS figures are out of date cause by the end of 2003 LS sold 13 million but in various articles this year it's now being updated to 15 million. i think shakira's albums feed off each other so well, LS started to sell again after FO1 and OF2 were released plus she has the spanish and english markets at her feet
