Shakira
Please refrain from using inflated sales figures at Shakira's articles. Just because there are sources claiming such outragous figures as 140 million for Shakira's records sales, it doesn't make it true. Skakira's worldwide available certified sales are barely 53.5 million units, which you can see at the List of best-selling music artists. If you have further concerns about Shakira's records sales, you should open up a discussion at the article's talk page, rather than persistently making similar edits.--Harout72 (talk) 03:55, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

I see but those 75 million-80 million units are album sales which are figures clearly stated in HBO's press release and Sony Latin's website Her or anyone's record certifications are not up to date. There are more uncited outrageous numbers available on wiki which don't make sense. An update and up do date won't do harm. Peace Barbara Hashli (talk) 05:44, 3 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Those figures are promotional sales figures tossed about by Shakira's record company, which actually have been around for years now. Using such inflated figure on wiki would in fact be harmful as Shakira's available certified sales do not suggest that she could have sold more than 75 million records as claimed by news outlets such as the one currently supporting it at her article.--Harout72 (talk) 14:01, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

My question is, is wiki community strict with certification and record sale balance to all artists? Or is there a bias that's all I want to know. Because looking at other artists pages have similar issues. Barbara Hashli (talk) 19:57, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
