Shakira in 10 photos that tell us her best songs
Making a list of Shakira and best songs is a very difficult task. First, because for 25 years (yes, 25 counted) he has presented us entire albums with those compositions that are meant to cry, laugh, sing and shout, from the album Pies Descalzos (1995) to his latest single "Me Gusta" (2020 ). But for the countdown on February 2 (it's the date of the Super Bowl, just in case you haven't marked it on your calendar) we put together a list with 20 songs selected by our staff so that you can take them to a playlist of Shakira and her best songs that you will not stop repeating all over February, after that great night in front of millions of eyes (like this).
01-“HIPS DON’T LIE” (FEAT. WYCLEF JEAN)
2006 - The most successful global single from "Shakira, Shakira", no one on the planet realized that it was the intro to reggaeton and it went around the world, achieved 20 million sales and is cataloged as the song of the 21st century. From the Album Oral Fixation Vol. 2.
02-"WHENEVER, WHEREVER" / "LUCK"
2001-From the album Laundry Service, hers first of hers in English / Spanish, and the second single, in short, the most successful of the Colombian in the music charts around the world.
03-"I'M HERE"
1995-There is no better introduction to an artist than this iconic song from her repertoire, from the album Pies Descalzos. From her # 1 debut on Billboard's US Latin Pop Songs to today, a must-do in everything related to her.
04-"INEVITABLE"
1998 - Where are the thieves? It is the album that made Shakira the spotlight of all America. Don't tell us you didn't sing this song out loud, or that you ever dedicated it (or it was dedicated to you). At the top of every playlist.
05-"UNDERNEATH YOUR CLOTHES"
2001-From her Laundry Service masterpiece, this single surpassed 7 million copies worldwide and peaked in more than 40 countries, making it her third most successful single of her entire career.
06-"WAKA WAKA (THIS TIME FOR AFRICA)"
2010 - The theme of the World Cup 2010 that proved that Shakira is an icon of international pop music and that has made the language not a brake at all.
07-"LA TORTURA" (FEAT. ALEJANDRO SANZ)
2005 - Do you remember the scene of Shakira on a table and then bathed in tar? Sure, it's the video for the title track of Oral Fixation Vol. 1, the winner of Best Latin Rock Album at the 2006 Grammy Awards.
08-"DON'T BOTHER"
2005-Before "Hips Don't Lie", this was the big bet for her fifth album, Oral Fixation Vol. 2 and is one of the favorites of die hard fans of the Colombian.
09-"OBJECTION (TANGO)" / "I NOTIFY YOU, I ANNOUNCE YOU (TANGO)"
2001-The first song written in English by Shakira and a great success both in that language and in Spanish and of course, she had to dance a good tango for the video.
10-"LOBA" / "SHE WOLF"
2009 - This is the kind you either love or hate. It was number one in Mexico, debuted at Billboard 15 in its English version and has become something very notable on their list.
