message: Sales of Fijación Oral Vol. 1 and Oral Fixation Vol. 2 are 3 million and 4 million respectively. Stop changing them to the HUGELY inflated sales of 7 and 8 million unless you can provide a source. --Bojach 07:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fijacion Oral has sold 5 million according to La Vanguardia and Oral Fixation has sold 8 million according to Bradcast Music Inc/BMI. They have both been added. 
@49.146.200.77 sales figures must have a reliable source to back them up - you must be getting your figures from somewhere, so please share your source. Batternut (talk) 09:38, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Just because Oral Fixation Volume 2 has been certified platinum does not mean that it has sold one million copies. A platinum certification is awarded for copies shipped not sold.

thread_title: Sales

message: I noticed in the list of singles is missing a single from 1995, "Un Poco de Amor", the third single extracted from "Pies Descalzos" album. Actually there was the third single in South America, but in North America (Mexico) the third single was "Pies Descalzos Sueños Blancos". Both thirds singles had Videoclip directed by Gustavo Garzon and remixes by Meme. "Un Poco de Amor" had lately a Portuguese version included in The Remixes compilation album.
About the discography, is missing the last compilation "Remixed" (not the Remixes compilatio with remixes of Pies Descalzos album). Mauchileno 18:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Singles and Remixed 

message: The singles section is very desorganized. Having in mind that many songs have versions released in both, english and spanish, wouldn't it be better if the list lists the singles in chronological way regardless of their language and naming them in english and spanish (e.g. She Wolf/ La Loba).
Furthermore, the Single should list positions in more countries, taking into account that Shakira´s succes is bigger in latin america than in any other part of the world, her position in countries like Mexico, Chile and Argentina should be listed. Positions for many countries are well documented in this page: http://top40-charts.com/artist.php?aid=952
I also think her positions in Spain are wrong. The article should be revised and corrected.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.118.15.34 (talk) 17:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Spanish Singles Chart

message: *There are several discrepancies with the album sales figures in this article. For instance, an album will apparently have been certified double platinum, but right next to it it'll say it sold about a million copies. Which is it? Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:09, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: With respect to sales of Pies Descalzos RIAA has confirmed that this album has been certified platinum, however According To Nielsen SoundScan only sold 584.000, in this case there is no contradiction because the certification of the official RIAA is a method sales audit, and sales are analyzed by Nielsen only under some criteria of Nielsen SoundScan and practice under this method can not know the exact sales. And with respect to sales and certifications for "Fijacion Oral vol. 1" 11x multi-platinum RIAA certify for type "latin" or RIAA certification Spanish language albums in addition to 2x multi-platinum normal certification in U.S. --D6h !? 01:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I think it is no good idea to put global sales her albums, as they vary according to the reference; plus that many sales are inflated and are primary sources. If no one answers, I will proceed to do this myself. Regards, Chrishonduras (talk) 22:21, 1 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing certifications 

message: The official singles list is incomplete, messy, some have incorrect years of released, etc.. The information provided is confusing and inaccurate. References are needed. Thanks--181.27.163.26 (talk) 06:15, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Very incomplete article  and inaccurate information 

message: I have examined the sources you provided and here's what I found: BET is fine, The National looks fine and so does Biography.com. However Concerttor.com is just a site for tour dates and nothing more so that's not reliable Also, none of the reliable sources mention 125 million sales in singles. Lastly, use  when citing sources. Paging  for his input as he is the one who worked hard to get this featured list. Erick (talk) 13:02, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: BET and The National seem to be fine, but a lot of users have opposed the use of Biography.com. Comcerttor.com is definitely unreliable. Moreover, most sources claim her record sales to stand at 60 million. --WonderBoy1998 (talk) 05:52, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

I hope you guys start editing and updating her albums sales, so we can move to the next step and it is figuring her Singles Sales.  Userline303 (talk) 02:58, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: What makes Wetpaint a reliable source though? And where are those sales figures coming from? Also we do not use estimated sales in Wikipedia or add up total sales by ourselves as they falls under original research which is not allowed in Wikipedia either. EDIT: Upon further investigation, I can safely say that Wetpaint is not a reliable source as it is a user-generated site (meaning that anyone can write anything without editorial review). See this discussion Erick (talk) 03:05, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

text: What the Spanish Wikipedia does is their business and they have a pretty poor record of using reliable source. And I ask again, where are you getting those sources from? If you want to know Shakira's total sales, ask Billboard or IFPI. Even if the sales are not being updated or "realistic", they still need to be verified by a reliable or they will be removed. Verifiability, not truth. Erick (talk) 04:10, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
