April 4, 200619 yr Author Because of new edition including `Hips Don`t Lie`, Shakira`s album is going to make an awesome jump from #97 to around #6 on this weeks`s Billboard chart according to Hits Daily Double. Anything can happen. only thing i have to say at this point is that the billboard chart is the united states chart and thats totally different to the uk one. in australia, delta goodrem will have had a big hit with her second album, might have had about 4 number ones and many awards, but in the uk at the moment her album has gone to the cheapo bucket, with the only interest being the fact that she's arm candy. If you look at So fresh - the hits of summer 2006 and the best of 2005, delta's be strong record ranks with other acts i've never heard of such as spiderbait, random, nitty and shannon noll, who no doubt are mega sellers down under. however i doubt if there records would get much chance over here. same with shakira and ricky martin, they will sell out in europe and america for years to come.
April 4, 200619 yr Author I think that the problem with society is that we assume that if the album doesn't sell well, that the album is not worth buying. Maybe it isnt popular, but it doesnt mean that it's a damn good album, because it is, and it's a hell of a lot better than Laundry Service. i think you have missed the point, it's not about whether the album is good or bad (and for the record i think it got 4 stars in q, yep from memory thats about 2 more than the new streets album) it whether sonybmg are killing off projects faster than they should
April 4, 200619 yr Author Do you expect Alanis Morrissette to sell 30 million of ehr next album,Of course not. in this case, everybody knows it will be crap! :lol: :lol:
April 5, 200619 yr in this case, everybody knows it will be crap! :lol: :lol: She's bound to flop, her gh didn't do well
April 5, 200619 yr Author and the fact that the acoustic 10 year aniv. album was seen as one of the worst career moves of all time!
June 14, 200619 yr just thought I'd bump this :lol: Hips Don't Lie became one of the biggest songs in US history, and one of her biggest worldwide songs ever, The album hasnt left the billboard top 20 since it's re-release, and has now shipeed neaely 1.5 million copies and sold over 2 million worldwide. the song is also in the top 5 this week in the UK Midweeks! :cheer: Edited June 14, 200619 yr by Screwed
June 20, 200619 yr Hmm...Continuing the odd comparison of Delta and Shakira's 2nd UK albums...now Shaki's second single (a duet) goes in at No.3...that rings some bells lol...
June 20, 200619 yr I think Shakira's album can now be saved a bit, and we can get another single from it *cough* ANIMAL CITY *cough*
June 20, 200619 yr Yeah, I think Hips Don't Lie has saved OF2 now. If only there was promo it would have a good chance I think. They should never have released Don't Bother in my opinion. They delayed it that long they might as well have just used HDL as the first single and then never had the problem of a re release.
June 20, 200619 yr Author just thought I'd bump this :lol: omg you are so totally a buzzjack trainspotter!!! :lol: this thread is like so long ago!!! :lol:

June 27, 200619 yr Author This albums not so dead looking now eh ;-) but only after they shoved her into the studio with Wyclef!!! doesnt say much for the rest of the album does it now.
June 27, 200619 yr The problem with the album is that isnt isnt commerical. Listen to 'How Do You Do' 'Costume Makes The Clown' or 'Timor' and tell me thats a billboard #1. It's a great album, but it didn't have one of them killer singles that will give commercial success like WW/LT/HDL. I sugegst you listen to the album as it's really eclsectic and good. If you want I could upload some tracks if any of you want some?
