Looking at Shakira’s captivating pictures will surely make you smitten with her charm. Born as Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll in Barranquilla, Colombia, she is a renowned musician, dancer, businesswoman, and philanthropist.
Shakira released her first album, Magia, at the young age of 13 in collaboration with Sony Music Columbia. She followed it up with her second studio album, Peligro, two years later.
Even though her albums didn’t achieve commercial success, she did manage to receive some attention as her songs were broadcasted on radio stations. The question remains: did she rise to fame with her first international albums Pies Descalzos (1996) and DóndeEstán Los Ladrones? (1998)?
One of her biggest breakthroughs within English-speaking audiences came with the release of her fifth album, Laundry Service. The lead single “Whenever, Wherever” quickly became a hit in 2002, solidifying her popularity in the music scene.
After releasing a string of hit albums, including Fijación Oral, Volumen Uno, Oral Fixation, Volume Two (2005), She Wolf, and Sale el Sol, she further cemented her place in the music industry and skyrocketed to become one of the most beloved musical artists.
Her career continued to thrive when her official 2010 FIFA Song WakaWaka (This Time For Africa) gained immense popularity, becoming the best-selling World Cup song with over 10 million downloads. WakaWaka also achieved great success on Youtube, garnering more than 2 million views, making it one of the most-watched music videos on the platform.
Shakira has certainly racked up an impressive collection of accolades, scoring three Grammy Awards, 13 Latin Grammy Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, and a whopping 39 Billboard Latin Music Awards. She has also been recognized with a nomination for a Golden Globe.
Shakira stands out as one of the select few who have been honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her record sales have exceeded 75 million globally, solidifying her status as one of the top-selling music icons worldwide. In addition to her musical success, Shakira also serves as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF, showcasing her dedication to philanthropic efforts.
