Another Indian success story is Shakira, whose Bollywood-inspired performance of "Hips Don't Lie" at the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards in New York was produced by leading Bollywood choreographer/director Farah Khan, and attracted huge publicity in India after a broadcast on VH1.
Mumbai-based wholesaler Pritam Music director Aslam Lilani says demand from regional retailers rose 25% for Shakira's album "Oral Fixation: Vol. 2" as a result, with a further boost expected from her similar performance at the Grammy Awards, broadcast in India on the Star World channel. The album has now sold 80,000 units, according to her Sony BMG India label.

Combining that with Laundry Service and the 8m number her record company gave for all stuff with DELL and before that totals to approximately 30m!
