Description: Laundry Service, known as Servicio de Lavandería in Spanish, marks Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira's fifth studio album and her debut English-language release, globally launched on November 13, 2001, by Epic Records. Following the success of her fourth studio album, Dónde Están los Ladrones?, in Latin America, Spain, the Middle East, and the Latin community in the United States, Shakira was urged by American singer Gloria Estefan to venture into English-language pop music, believing in her potential to cross over. Initially hesitant, Shakira decided to learn English proficiently to compose songs in the language. The album's title reflects Shakira's perspectives on love and music. While primarily a pop rock record, Laundry Service incorporates elements of Andean, dance-pop, Middle Eastern, rock and roll, and tango music. Each track was written and produced by Shakira under the guidance of Emilio Estefan.Six singles were released from the album, with "Whenever, Wherever" as the lead single achieving international success, topping charts in various countries. The subsequent English-language single, "Underneath Your Clothes," also reached the top of charts in multiple countries. Spanish-language singles "Te Dejo Madrid" and "Que Me Quedes Tú" performed well in Hispanic regions. "Objection (Tango)" became a top ten hit globally, while "The One" rounded off the singles' lineup with moderate commercial success. Shakira supported the album with her Tour of the Mongoose from 2002 to 2003, her first major worldwide tour.Laundry Service received a mix of favorable and mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Shakira's diverse musical styles and vocal talent, though some found it generic. It reached the top of charts in several countries and garnered multiple certifications, including sextuple platinum in Australia and quintuple in Canada, Spain, and Switzerland. It was also certified multi-platinum in the United Kingdom and the United States. By 2011, the album had sold around 13 million copies, solidifying its status as one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century and earning Shakira the title of "The best-selling album by a female Latin artist." Globally, Laundry Service ranked as the seventh best-selling album in 2002 and holds a place at number 172 on the "Definitive 200" list by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
