Just like the song by Anastacia, il divo & tony Braxton, etc.

Anastacia's song was a HUGE hit because of the world cup!! it reached top 10 in 3 countries and top 40 n seven more! it charted in an amazing 13 countries all cause of the world cup!!

Ill Divo's and Toni Braxton song was not as successful though it only went top 10 in 1 country and only charted in 5 countries. the power of the world cup

Shakira had NOTHING to do with the success of Waka Waka its was all the FIFA world cup peoples.

And that 700k is nice, good for her.

Rihanna sold more than that with Loud in the UK, so once again, no one is trying to say Shakira isn't known worldwide, but the question asked who was bigger and Rihanna is the answer.

Shakira is bigger worldwide you muppet.

The fact a SPANISH album sold that well in FRENCH and GERMAN countries says it all.

[Ady.]

At the moment is Rihanna. But, time changes.

That song was specifically made for the World Cup where 2.something billion people watched, of course it will get massive success

What about Beautiful Liar, She Wolf and Loca? They were global smashes.

End of the year, Shakira will be bigger than Rihanna in the US, and all the ignorant bitches claiming Rihanna is bigger will have nervous breakdowns.

I mean, it must be tough having Roc Nation and Rihanna's own manager ditching the sinking battleship that is Rihanna for Shakira, so publicly.

Shakira, of course

True.

Not really. France is really receptive to spanish and Italian music in particular. Generally europans love "europan sounding" music and Shakira does just that.
