Ok but Shakira is an iconic veteran in the industry, pretty much like a Britney or a Beyoncé, so a collab with her would be actually iconic and worth the hype. She's also had a new wave of success lately. Bring it! 

Would be amaziiing!!!!! Love Shakira and her latest revenge songs??!!!!!! are not divine?

She hasn't had a hit since more than a decade ago.

She's not gonna have any hits EVER.

Btw, "Popular" is a Weeknd song, let's be honest here.

It still has her name attached to it. Same with Elton John, he's been doing that trick for years

She would not have the carreer she has had, without him. The thing is he has always give her strong and catchy melodies where she could add amazing lyrics and sing with emotion so they created masterpieces. One of the problems of Rebel Heart, Madame x and even Confessions or Hard Candy is the lack of intense melodies where she can express her humanity, so she sometimes sings like a robot with uptempo music that does not sound emotional and do not reach audience´s heart, as it happened with Frozen, LAP, La isla bonita, Live to tell and many others.

Patrick Leonard is great, no doubt, but she was already something before and  would have been the same with any other collaborator. Even LAP album  surely would have selled better with more strong and commercial melodies. The less strong and catchy melodies  of her career are some of Leonard's. And anyone who can't hear intense melodies in RH, MX or HC knows nothing about intense melodies or needs to check out its ears. Really.

The problems of recent  records are basically two:  the lack of airplay in a music world tha has become the reign of teen products,  and the ignorance of fans that blame the best artists for that, instead of knowing  the true reasons why they don't do as well in the charts as Biebers or Taylors.

see some fans STILL blaming LN for her lack of hits - the music just wasnt that good guys - get over it please - most of MX wasnt commericial and they chose the wrong singles for MDNA and RH - although ghosttown is a mystery .... 

I agree - GMAYL did make sense at the time as it was linked to the SuperBowl - but it wasn't really a strong song on its own. I do feel GGW should have been the lead single instead.

RH - LFL ins't a good song in my opinion - and agree Ghostown was such a strong song and deserved so much better success! It's also a real pity that fans ruined it for her by trying to be the 'first' in leaking the demo's and having the 'exclusive' it really botched that entire period. 

Madame X - I really love the album, but yes, totally agree, it's not commercial and that's fine - in my opinion it's an art installation - although Crave did pretty good on the UK Charts - getting to No. 51 and No. 11 on the Adult Contemporary - Orlando (may he rest in piece) did magic with getting the singles remixed and helping her score that elusive 50 No. 1 club play chart hits!

She's now doing well with Popular - although it's really the wkend that is doing the heavy lifting on the song and the chart itself - despite her having writing credits - in my opinion it's very much his song feat. Madonna.

Ghosttown was really ruined, such a shame, it was actually a really huge radio hit in the UK though, record of the week for a while and A listed for a long time too. Just nobody bloody bought it. Radio listeners didnt even need to bother as it was on so much computer savvy people already had it before. Such a shame it shouldve been huge.

Crave only made number 51 on the singles sales chart in the UK. It didn't actually enter the official singles chart, unfortunately.

I doubt many people even knew crave was out, nobody for her bothered to promote it. It seemed MX was written off apart from the first single. She had a chance at doing it at Eurovision but well forget about that.
