There was a Billboard article last year according to which Alejandro was writing songs in English and thinking of releasing an English album. But I think it would probably flop. Out of all the singers to have crossed over, Shakira is the only who still has a viable career singing in English. I doubt Marc Anthony, Thalia, and Paulina Rubio will ever release another English album and am willing to bet Ricky Martin's next album will be in Spanish. Enrique Iglesias will probably try with another English album but unless he has an exceptional lead single, I doubt the album will do anything.

Actually, Paulina is working on her English follow-up album with Diddy and Scott Storch(sp?). That's why she presented at the VMAs. It was part of her pre-hype for the album. I guess the album is going to be more R&B-ish. It's supposed to come out in early 2006 unless something has changed.

iTunes; Single version = 79 Album version = 23
The album version has started to climb now as the sales aren't split as much between the two anymore.
La Tortura = 75!!! This song will not die!

iTunes update (thanks to Mig): DB -Single: 80 -Album: 23 OF -Pop: 01 -Main: 03 Illegal: -Pop: 45 So the song didn`t fall off, but went up . It seems like there is alot of interest in this song, and I actually think it`ll de better than DB. Ballads seem to be in this year .

Is DB's performance expected, disappointing, what? This is the English-language follow-up to Laundry Service, after all, so should she be receiving more airplay than she's getting? I think the song's OK- not super-great, but not as bad as some make it out to be.

I think its a tad disappointing so far. But it could be a slow grower. It hasnt lost its bullet yet.

I think Ricky doesn't have a chance anymore even though he is the most successful out of all of them. Enrique still does. I think if he makes a really hot album, it'll do fine.

Could You Please Post a link to that Billboard article if you could find it. Man i would really love an English Alejandro album, he's one of my all time favourite artists i love his music even though I can only understand some of it. Alejandro is the man he makes great music and I'll be supporting him with whatever plans he has for an English album!! He needs to learn a bit more English to lol go Alejandro!

(Yesterday`s total: 91.654 - Today`s total: 94.946) That`s the largest gain it`s ever gotten. It`s also back to 13 million, so that`s good . And it hasn`t been this high either. Last week it was 13.1. But does anyone know when those American Top 40 spins are supposed to kick in, and why the Cutoff Rhytmic has more airplay than the daily chart? EDIT: Does anyone also know why the sudden gain on audio impressions? Has Z100 started playing this more or something?

Thanks ashley!! It seems like the album version is stuck in the #23 spot. Hopefully her performance at Ellen will help! The song also debuts at #16 in Denmark! It`s the highest new entry this week, and the only new entry in the Top20. LT took 5 weeks to get to the same spot (if you wanna compare) .

Thanks for the updates. Maybe the Ellen appearance will spark some download interest. Though I'd rather have people go buy the album.
And this is just cruel --- Audience: 12.996 ---- So close to 13.000mm

...singing in Spanish in other countries besides Spain. He has released his music all over Latin America, the US, and a select few in Europe.
