Shakira has marked another milestone with her hugely successful Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour.
The singer's sales have reached one million tickets in Mexico, promoter OCESA reported on Thursday.
"This is an unprecedented figure and a statement of impact as powerful as the historic record of her 12 sold-out dates at Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City," the company said in a press release.
"One million tickets... in a country of 129 million inhabitants!"
The historic figure is the result of the 26 concerts that the Colombian superstar has staged in the Latin American country.
After making history in March with seven consecutive sold-out shows at the capital's stadium, the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour will return for another series of five concerts in late August and September.
This will make Shakira the first artist to achieve that many dates in this major venue, formerly known as Foro Sol.
The singer and songwriter has been adding dates to the tour as tickets continue to sell out.
The success of her stadium tour has led the Hips Don't Lie singer to top Billboard Boxscore's mid-year ranking, grossing $130 million (£98 million) as of June.
