This global smash

I love this medieval version of the track

A #1 hit which is difficult to have, not everyone has that to their credit. Some people don't even have a top 50 to their name, like Rosalía for example

oh that was a classical, that was a classical

Biggest global hit of 2006

A classic, but lowkey one of my least favorite Shakira tracks

When the world is in apocalypse, and only a few humans remain to find the remants of a lost civilization, I hope a long lost fossilized audio of Hips Don't Lie is the one thing they may find to remind of a civilization once thriving, once enjoying the truthful incantations of our hips

one of the best pop songs and Shakira's signature song I would say

A classic.

It's low-key the biggest song by a female artist of this century

Un clásico. No tienen ni idea de la cantidad de veces que pusieron esta canción aquí en México, terminabas asqueado de tanto que la ponían .

they really don't make classics like this anymore omg

A literal cultural reset

This video just oozes nostalgia to me. I was obsessed with it as a kid, especially her red top/green pants look. What a classic.

Lmaooo maybe in LATAM. Definitely not elsewhere. There's like 5 songs that are bigger. You seem to forget that 2006 was a time that albums were getting sold by smashes…

Waka Waka might be bigger, you're right

One thing about Shakira, she will have the biggest smashes of this century

Poker Face, Call Me Maybe, Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, and Hello were all much bigger WW and all sold albums (bar CMM). Waka Waka isn't even near 10m downloads, mid Spotify streams and only smashed on YouTube

Yeah I agree with you, "Tik Tok" was also bigger than "Hips Don't Lie", at least when you DON'T factor in album sales.

A one of a kind classic, a song so global it united us all as a world population. I am not kidding, Shakira did that.

Easily one of the most beloved and recognizable songs this century.

Hips Don't Lie and Waka Waka are more culturally known and recognizable to the entire global population than any of the songs listed here

"you know my hips don't lie...."

A bop and a classic.
