Shakira is currently traveling across America, performing dates on the U.S. leg of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour. The Latin superstar has been in the news lately after several shows on the trek were canceled, disappointing fans in cities like Boston and Washington, D.C.
It’s never good for a major artist to pull out of scheduled performances — especially at the last minute — as it impacts thousands of people. Shakira does appear to be the beneficiary of an unintended consequence stemming from her unfortunate moves.
Two of Shakira’s projects return to the Billboard charts this week. While the tour alone might have been enough to keep her on several rankings, the fact that multiple efforts reappear simultaneously on various lists suggests the headline-grabbing cancellations may have driven listeners back to some of her full-lengths, likely via streaming platforms like Spotify.
Two Shakira Albums Return
Donde Estan Los Ladrones marks Shakira’s highest-ranking return this week, as it reenters the Top Latin Pop Albums chart at No. 25. Over on the Top Latin Albums list, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran reappears at No. 36.
Four Shakira Projects Chart in America
There are four different Shakira projects that appear on at least one Billboard tally in America this week. Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran also climbs from No. 6 to the runner-up spot on the Top Latin Pop Albums roster, nearly laying claim to the top spot once more.
Shakira fills four spots on the Top Latin Pop Albums chart this frame. In addition to Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran almost reaching No. 1 and Donde Estan Los Ladrones returning, Sala El Sol and El Dorado hold steady at Nos. 9 and 11, respectively.
