Shakira has once again made history with her latest album, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran." The album has soared to the top of the charts, claiming the number one spot on the Top Latin Albums and Latin Pop Albums charts. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Shakira, as she becomes the first woman to top those charts in decades.

The album also made waves on the broader music charts, debuting at an impressive number two on the Top Album Sales chart, number four on the Vinyl Albums chart, and number thirteen on the coveted Billboard Hot 200.

In addition to her triumph on the Billboard charts, Shakira's latest album has also been a hit internationally. Upon its release, "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" debuted at the top of the Spanish Album Chart, marking Shakira's first chart topper in Spain since "Sale el Sol" in 2010.

One of the standout tracks on "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" is the No. 1 single "Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53." This release has garnered significant attention for its raw and emotional lyrics, with Shakira using the song to address her former partner, Gerard Pique. In a bold move, Shakira dissed Pique following his infidelity and their bitter split, showcasing her strength and determination in the face of personal challenges.

Shakira's triumphant return to the music scene with "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" is particularly poignant given the circumstances that led to her hiatus. The singer had put her career on hold to focus on her relationship with Pique, only to face heartbreak and betrayal. The emotional depth and honesty of the songs on the album reflect Shakira's personal journey, making it a powerful and resonant body of work.

As fans and music critics alike celebrate the success of "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran," it is clear that Shakira's influence and impact on the music industry remain as strong as ever. Her ability to connect with audiences through her music and storytelling is unparalleled, serving as a source of inspiration for generations of fans around the world.
