With her instantly recognizable pout, signature dance moves and unique stage presence, it didn't take long for Shakira to become an icon after first finding global fame with 2001's Laundry service.
More than two decades later, it's hard to imagine what the modern pop landscape would look like without the Colombian singer, especially when you consider the explosion of popularity that other crossover Latin artists have experienced in her wake. She earned her first entry on the Billboard Hot 100 at the turn of the millennium with “Whenever, Wherever,” which remains one of her biggest hits to date, and later scored her first No. 1 single in 2006 with “Hips Don 't Lie, with Wyclef Jean.
Since then, Shakira has scored more than two dozen chart entries, along with a handful of top 10 smashes. She has also become one of the most sought-after duet partners in the music world, having worked with everyone from the Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna and Beyoncé to Maluma, Rauw Alejandro and Karol G.
From her powerhouse hits as a headliner to her still fiery but more mature chops, Shakira has kept her fans singing, dancing and occasionally crying for years – and she doesn't look like she's slowing down anytime soon. Keep reading to see her 20 biggest Hot 100 hits so far below.
Shakira's Biggest Billboard Hot 100 Hits ranking is based on weekly performance on the Hot 100 through June 15, 2024. Songs are ranked using a reverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the most value and weeks at No. 1 earning the lowest places to win the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, seasons are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods.
