Seriously, let the hit predictor thing go. It's not a real thing...
If people loved it so much, it wouldn't have the callout scores it does and be stuck in the 50s on iTunes.

I really don't think its sales are bad. Yeah, they could've been better but we've seen top 20/top 15 songs with worse callout scores and worse sales than Empire

New adds NEVER have an instantaneous effect. They should be having *some* effect by today, though.

In my experience you usually don't start seeing effects for 2-3 days.

Why are you so adamant on this song under-performing to move onto Dare? I do like Dare, but there's no guarantee that it will do well in the US. Its best to focus on Empire and see how it does. Wishing its demise is not going to help Shakira.

Wishing its demise is not going to help Shakira. Yes, people need to understand that a lot of the time the follow-up's success hinges on the success of the previous single. Whether you agree with the single choice or not, always hope for the best.

What makes even less sense is that this is #20 on Latin Urban. Did somebody switch formats and not get taken out of the panel or what? Granted it's a small panel, but it's really the only pop song on the top 50.

The chorus is just sentences thrown together into a melody to create it. Zero substance. And yeah, you can't understand her half the time too lol.

Yeah, talking about Shakira from within the Latin genre is like talking about a completely different beast. Rules are never followed. You see all sorts of strange chart stats. From huge sales in Colombia to almost all her songs going top 10 in Spain, she's unpredictable in that world. The US Latin genre has been following her career since 1995, to them she's a Latin legend. Her music gets played everywhere. Now, on mainstream pop in the US, that's different. On there, she hasn't had as much success, obviously. Hopefully she'll get some more English hits in the future, or even in this era.

This commercial might make the general public think "La La La" is her current single. They also have an Empire commercial, but this one is likely the one that will get played the most. I'm starting to see potential in "Dare." After you watch the commercial a few times, you get La La La stuck in your head.
