Shakira Shakira

We know her hips don't lie, and neither do the music charts. Last week the Colombian beauty set a record for digital sales, and her duet with Wyclef is #1 on the Billboard Pop 100 for the second straight week.

This comes on the heels of the song setting a record for the most radio plays ever for a pop song, as tracked by the Nielsen company. "Hips Don't Lie" was played 9,657 times in a single week on U.S. radio. That number broke Gwen Stefani's record of 9,582 plays for "Hollaback Girl." (Maybe Hillary Duff should take notes!)

And, she's a big hit elsewhere too. She cleaned up at the Latin Grammys in April and a recent survey in Romania polled the hip shaker as the number one international act that Romanians would most like to see. And, the rest of Europe is taking note of the FIFA World Cup "Hips Don't Lie" remix. Indeed, Shakira herself seems to be caught up in World Cup fever, as she recently taught David Beckham and the England squad a few dance moves.

Speaking of her instructions to Mr. Posh Spice and his mates, Shakira says "I've shown them hope [sic] to shake their hips like I do. Maybe they will do if they win, but maybe they will be too shy." Well, we happily know Shakira isn't too shy. There's no about it - she's a worldwide sensation.

From the moment I saw her perform with Jean Wyclef on american Idol I haven't been able to get enough of her videos and music. I like her alot and her upcoming tour in the US is selling like crazy. Her upcoming performance at Madison square garden is sold out. Auction tickets are selling for over 500$.I can't even immagine what the scalpers will be getting for tickets! Keep shakin it!!

Yes its true Shakira is a world class artist ,singer , writer, producer..And this Colombian princess is the unicef spokesman for Colombia! Because of her work and giving to a country shrouded by 40 years of war and violence Shakira is making a difference for young people in Colombia thru her her foundation www.fundacionpiesdescalzos.com she has funded schools and feeds many poor children so they can attend school . This is truly a world class act! I am a american who lives 6 months out of the year in Colombia and I have seen first hand what this Amazeing woman has done! Shakira you rock!

Ya right what a person can do with computers its amasing but the material she stole and as for her giving just shows again how dumb she is when her manager makes his deposit in a overseas bank ,They blow her head up and tell her how great she is but will that pay her future bills and one other thing why would she hack her x's computer if she was so hot ,that can cost her 30 years behind bars so nock others down and see who suffers! Oh do da days! lol

i have to say that Shakira is by far my favorite siger all my friends guys, girls all love her, its funny cause they all have different taste in music but for whatever reason we all love her.
She is gorgeous every girl wishes she looked like her! and her lyrics arn't lame nor superficial she's a chic with substance and heart she cares about her people and does charity like Angie Jolie, I love them both......Its good too see that there are some poeple that use their ridiculousley large incomes in a non selfish way!

duh...totally !:  1987 days ago

My 9 yr old likes her and her music...which is fine, I like her songs too...but when she does that bizarre bust/thrust move...makes me uncomfortable as a mom sitting there w/ her....most videos are very sexually suggestive---my daughter also liked J. Simpson's song "boots...walking"--well THAT video was pretty bad too.....
I do not want to see my 9 yr old and her friends copying those dance moves!

Shakira is a great song writer and singer." Hips don't lie" is not one of her best songs. Her spanish songs,ie " No" are very beautiful. I am not suprised she is very popular.
