The success of “Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” was evident from the moment she started releasing its singles. While we all love her featuring son with Ozuna and her track with Rauw Alejandro, her collaboration with Bizarrap, titled “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” was the one who made everyone’s jaws drop, not only for the revealing lyrics but also for how quickly it began breaking multiple Guinness World Records and becoming the song with the most No. 1s on Billboard’s Latin Airplay.

“Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran” quickly soared to become the most-streamed album of 2024 within the first 24 hours. With an astounding 10 billion streams globally, Shakira’s achievement of 7x platinum certification on its release day is a remarkable feat, underscoring the widespread acclaim and commercial success it has garnered in such a short period.

In celebration of this monumental achievement, Shakira took to social media to express her gratitude to her fans for their unwavering support. In an Instagram post, she wrote, “What better release day gift?? 7x platinum! Thanks, and more thanks to everyone who comes to listen and who continues to support. It gives me so much satisfaction to share this album with you!” Her heartfelt message reflects her appreciation for her fans, her profound connection to the music she creates, and the impact it has on those who listen.
