as of this week shakira's single Hips Don't Lie has spent 15 weeks ontop of the world according to United World Chart.
http://www.mediatraffic.de/ Her last single to hit the number one was Whenever, Wherever which also lasted a long time (12 weeks) in the number one spot. Only 2 other songs have maintained this long Madonna w/ Hung Up (15 weeks @ 1) and Cher w/ Believe (15 weeks @ 1) So if Shakira stays on for one more weeks she can break the record set by these 2 artists. she is only 11,000 points now from Gnarls Barkley's Crazy. So it's going to be a close race.
