7 Shakira

The story of Shakira’s singing and songwriting career is the kind of stuff movies are made of. She started off as a talented girl from Colombia and turned into an international Latina star. Her success on the charts is unprecedented for someone of her background and style of music. With over 40 million albums sold worldwide and 10 Grammy and Latin Grammy Awards to her name, Shakira’s place in musical history has clearly been established. And as wonderful as her singing is, her exotic beauty is just as appealing.

After her departure from the list a couple of years ago, Shakira reappears on the list at an impressive No. 7. It's little surprise: 2006 marked a significant year in Shakira’s career with the release of her album Oral Fixation Vol. 2. She won the Grammy for Best Latin Rock/Alternative Album for the second time in her career, as well as five other Latin Grammy Awards. Moreover, Shakira had everyone in the world gyrating their bodies with her single “Hips Don’t Lie.” But Shakira’s success in 2006 was not predicated on her vocal talents alone; her extensive training as a belly dancer has helped produce some of the most tantalizing music videos ever created.

Shakira has already been nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for “Hips Don’t Lie.” Also this year, Shakira looks to take her musical success to the silver screen with her Hollywood debut in the movie Dare to Love Me. In the film, Shakira will be playing one of the love interests of the famous tango singer Carlos Gardel.
