#YOU KNOW MY HIPS DON T LIE UPDATE#
If you needed an update on just how popular the song and music video remains, it was the most tweeted about song and video in the week beginning 1st September 2014 - nearly a decade after it was released - beating out fierce contenders such as Taylor Swift with "Shake It Off".
It has won the People's Choice Award as well as the MTV Latin American Music Video Award and the MTV Music Video Award in the same year. The song also reached the number #1 spot in over 25 countries, the United States of America included, breaking the record for the most radio plays in a single week and being both Shakira's first US and UK Number 1 (pub quiz question: its status as UK Number One meant that it was the last song ever to be played on Top of the Pops). The music video, released in 2006, was shared on YouTube and held the top spot of most-viewed video until around February 2007. "Hips Don't Lie" was for a decade ('06-'16 note Though it was still selling about a million copies a year after this) the world's best-selling single of the 21st Century and is at least popularly renowned as the world's biggest pop song ever, certainly for the 2000s and 2010s. Many of the song's lyrics are, however, original and written by Shakira. It samples both Wyclef Jean's 2004 song "Dance Like This" and Jerry Rivera's "Amores Como El Nuestro" with borrowed lyrics from the former originally adapted from Luis Dias' "Carnaval (Baile en la Calle)". It is based in salsa and cumbia and was released in 2006 as the third track of the reissue of Oral Fixation Vol. " Hips Don't Lie" is a single by Colombian artist Shakira.
