CDMX.- Since Shakira announced her break with Gerard Piqué, it seems that she has had a bad time emotionally, but not so in her career, in which the numbers have been increasing with followers, reproductions and listening on the most important music platforms, even in the world of fashion.
more diva than ever
Shakira has taken the phrase of her song very seriously, the one that has caused a stir: “Women no longer cry, women bill” and with that philosophy she has decided to continue not only her life, but her artistic career, and increase your fortune.
The Colombian has spent 30 years, from being considered a promising singer-songwriter who released her first album in 1991 to breaking listening records as one of the artists with the highest record sales in history, with more than 60 million.
And to rise up on popular platforms such as Spotify, where she is already the first Latina to exceed 75 million listeners, only below the Americans Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande.
But beyond the achievements, including the materials that she has released since the break with Gerard Piqué, the interpreter also became a target of interest for her colleagues in the world of music, and even fashion brands.
successful trilogy
“Congratulations”
“Te Felicito” was the first song with which, in collaboration with Rauw Alejandro, the Colombian tried to begin to heal the pain caused by their separation.
Until February, the theme exceeded 475 million views on YouTube, while on Spotify it exceeded 495 million listeners.
“Monotony”
Shakira moved to a different rhythm with “Monotonía”, a song to the rhythm of bachata that she performed together with Ozuna. The official video clip has more than 205 million views on YouTube. While on Spotify, the song has already exceeded 251 million listeners.
“Shakira: BZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53”
But, without a doubt, the single that has caused a stir is “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53”, whose official video on YouTube already has more than 341 million views. In the same way, the tweet has registered 326 million listeners, and it is increasing.
According to the Spanish broadcast ‘El Programa de Ana Rosa’, Shakira has more than 2.5 million euros of approximate earnings for this song and an estimated income of about 15 million dollars at the expense of heartbreak songs about Piqué.
duet of queens
The song “TQG” will be part of Karol G’s new record album, entitled Mañana ser Bonito, where Colombian artists are expected to cause controversy again by singing about the breakup of the “Ojos Así” interpreter.
The song was presented by Karol G on social networks, where Shakira confirmed that there will be a music video by sharing an image where both pose very sensual.
“TQG” will be track 6 of Karol G’s album and the credits of the song announce the work of Colombian producer Daniel Oviedo, artistically known as Ovy on The Drums. He, also a musician, has collaborated with artists such as Piso 21, Tini and Quevedo, as well as Karol G.
While the song “TQG” was written by the interpreter of “Tusa”, the composer Keytin and Ovy on The Drums.
She is crowned as the queen of Spotify
Like a good diva in the world of music, Shakira snatched Bad Bunny for first place as the most listened to Latin artist on Spotify.
During the first two months of 2023, the interpreter of “Monotonía” was positioned in the top 10 of the most listened to artists in the world. The success translates into just over 77 million 245 thousand monthly listeners.
Who has not listened to a Shakira song in recent months?
To invoice with Merch!
After the repercussion that Shakira has, she has also proposed to leave her mark on clothes and of course on official merch.
The success generated by Bizarrap’s Vol.53 session gave Shakira’s team the idea of selling garments with the popular phrase “Women No Longer Cry, Women Bill”.
Through Shakira’s official site, sweatshirts are sold with a drawing of Shakira that alludes to the video of her collaboration with the Argentine producer.
Although it is the key piece of the line, on the official page of the Colombian singer there are also other pieces of songs such as “Te Felicito” and “Monotonía”.
Hoodies and t-shirts range from $35 to $60 plus shipping.
Fashionista and business icon
According to Vanitatis, 7 percent of Shakira’s fortune, estimated at 300 million dollars (more than triple that of her former partner Gerard Piqué), would be the result of the perfume business, valued at about 20 million dollars.
Shakira’s perfume line counts nearly 40 scent options, which have prevailed in the cosmetic world.
This year Shakira is expected to surprise her fans with a new version of Dance, which could become a collateral success for her music.
The perfume line has five main brands, from which emanate scent versions for all tastes.
The perfumes are:
- S
- Rock!
- Elixir
- dreams
- dance
- Amulet
The image of a luxury brand
In 2022, Shakira became the image of the British firm Burberry, after her latest musical releases. The campaign titled The Night Before features the interpreter as the protagonist, accompanied by the Nigerian singer and producer, Burna Boy.
A best of records
- In 2007, the Colombian took a Guinness Record by staying 25 weeks in the Latin top of Billboard with the song “Tortura”, in which she collaborated with Alejandro Sanz.
- With Music Session Vol. 53, Shakira obtained the title of the most listened to song in Spanish in 24 hours, surpassing the song “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. It is rumored that her son Milan was the one who gave her the idea of collaborating with Bizarrap.
- One of the records that keeps her as one of the most popular artists this year is the increase in the number of fans who follow her on Facebook. In 2022, Shakira was placed in the first place of the musicians with the largest number of fans. This by exceeding 100 million followers in said network. Until February 2023, the Colombian singer has more than 121 million.
