Shakira is pulling the strings for her new album…

The 37-year-old Colombian singer-songwriter and returning The Voice coach has revealed the new artwork of her upcoming self-titled album.

For the album cover, Shakira stares down the camera while dressed in black lingerie-like attire and holding a guitar.

Shakira, who on Twitter alone has nearly 24 million followers, led the charge on social media on Friday (Feb. 14), giving fans a peek at the new art work.

“The new Shakira album will launch in 39 days,” Shakira posted on Twitter. “We thought you’d like to see the top.”

 

Fans quickly took to Twitter to offer their opinions.

“You look beautiful,” wrote fan Alejandro Armendariz. “Thank you.”

Other fans wondered if the new cover art was simply a tease and are hoping for a different kind of cover. “Is this a joke omg,” wrote another commentator.

The release of the cover comes on the heels of the recent release of Shakira’s single “Can’t Remember to Forget You,” featuring Rihanna. In addition, she released a Spanish-language version of the track, entitled “Nunca Me Acuerdo de Olvidarte.”

Shakira’s forthcoming album will be released on March 25 and, according to published reports, will also include a country song with fellow The Voice coach Blake Shelton.

The new season of The Voice is currently in production.

Shakira is No. 1 with a bullet on the social media charts…

The 36-year-old Colombian superstar singer and returning The Voice coach has reached No. 1 on Billboard‘s Social 50 chart.

Shakira jumped 5-1 to take the pole position. It’s her first time at No. 1 since Feb. 9, 2013, and only her second week atop the chart.

Shakira surged to the top of the heap after sharing another photo of her baby on January 25. That image garnered an astounding 2.1 million post-likes and a similar video got very quick real viewers.

In addition, the “Loca” singer released the Spanish version of her new single with Rihanna, “Nunca Me Acuerdo de Olvidarte,” to VEVO on January 22.

The “Nunca” audio post on VEVO has received more than 1 million views, and a successful promotional post on Facebook led to a 250% spike in weekly fan acquisition on the platform.

But Shakira isn’t the only Hispanic artist to make the Top 10…

Pitbull, who earned extensive press this week when it was announced that his track “We Are One (Ole Ola)” was selected as the official song for the upcoming FIFA World Cup, comes in at No. 5.

The track, which hasn’t been released, features Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian singer Claudie Leitte.

Pitbull’s boost in the Social 50 rankings is also complemented by Austin Mahone (47-40), who released his new single “MMM Yeah,” which features the 33-year-old Cuban American rap superstar. Overall, Pitbull ascends with a 132% increase in mentions on Twitter, a 7% rise in Facebook conversation, which leads to 928,000 new fans added overall (up 28% from the previous frame).

The Social 50 ranks the most popular artists on YouTube, VEVO, Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, Wikipedia, Myspace and Instagram. The chart’s methodology blends weekly additions of friends/fans/followers along with artist page views, song plays and reactions as measured by music analytics company Next Big Sound.

Target has sets its (bulls)eye on Shakira…

The retailer has set its first music partnership for 2014 with the 36-year-old Colombian pop star, who will provide the retailer with an exclusive deluxe edition of her upcoming self-titled album, due for release on March 25.

Shakira’s new Target television spot will premiere during the 56th Grammy Awards on January 26, the same day her fans will be able to pre-order the album only at Target and Target.com.

The commercial, which will feature Shakira doing her trademark hip-shaking, was directed by Marc Klasfeld and was filmed in a small town outside of Barcelona, Spain, where the singer currently lives.

The Target edition of Shakira features three exclusive tracks that the artist says she penned specifically for the retailer.

“With three special bonus songs on our exclusive album, Shakira joins an unparalleled group of remarkable artists that partner with Target to give our guests more music,” Anne Stanchfield, divisional merchandise manager of entertainment, Target, said of the partnership. “Shakira is an international icon with an enormous following of fans that love her distinctive voice, boundless energy and hallmark dance moves. Guests will be thrilled with the three bonus tracks that can only be found at Target.”

Early buzz for the album has already helped catapult Shakira 15-5 on Billboard’s Social 50 chart this week, gaining an additional 750,000 new fans overall.

Part of that traction came from “Can’t Remember to Forget You,” featuring Rihanna, the first single off the singer’s new set. The song vaulted into the top 20 of the Mainstream Top 40 and Latin Pop Airplay charts after its first day of availability. She followed up the release of the duet with a Spanish-language solo version of the song, Nunca Me Acuerdo de Olvidarte.”
