Biography
Words like “phenomenon” and “unique” are easy to use, but it’s a whole lot harder to actually be those things. Yet nine albums into her recording career, Shakira is well worthy of both accolades - and many more.

Shakira’s debut album as a 14-year-old, Magia, might have shifted only 1,200 copies in her native Colombia, but the eight albums she’s made since have sold a combined total of more than 70 million records.

The video for Waka Waka, Shakira’s official anthem for the 2010 World Cup has been viewed online well over 500 million times (making it one of YouTube’s most-watched videos ever).
