Tonight Empire got its first major exposure. A commercial for the album aired during The Voice. It caused the album to hit #1 on iTunes and Empire is currently #60. Since Empire is getting people to buy the album, it might not experience as big of a surge this week. Shakira: #1 CRTFY: #30 Empire: #55

She just performed on the Tonight Show. It's currently #29. That's mostly just off the commercials during The Voice. Its pretty safe to say that people are responding well to the song. A voice performance will likely send this for sure into the top 5. Its still very early on. #29 with this little exposure is pretty impressive. Right now we have almost no airplay, pretty small views for the video and its already #29. It looks like it might have a bright future.
Also, since the album went #1 on iTunes in 60 countries including the US, that might give radio more confidence in playing Shakira's music.

This has really grown on me, can't get it out of my head. Could see this being her first big US hit since Hips.

"Empire" video started off cool with the whole runaway wedding scene, but fell apart after that. Made no fucking sense.

Captivating. Epic.
There are no other words for this song.

I want to hate how she says "universe," but she's too adorable.

That autotuning on the ooh ooh's still kinda bothers me. I wish it didn't make her sound so drag-ish. But that part is totally stuck in my head though.

Video is lovely. Reminds me a lot of the one for "Sale el Sol," and she is just absolutely killing it in that wedding gown. I loved the scenes of her running through the field (what a beautiful backdrop!) and the ones of her in the black dress inside. The only thing I didn't like about it was that cheap fire effect, because it looked so fake and out-of-place to me. This isn't among my favorites on the new album, but I still enjoy it quite a bit, and it continues to grow on me the more I listen to it. I'm really pulling for it to be a big CHR hit for her -- I'd love to see it manage to go Top 10!

Even though it doesn't have an add date yet, Z100 & KISS are playing it. Is anyone going to post airplay updates for it?
