And like others have said, "Beautiful Liar" isn't that great of a song, far from what is expected from such huge powerhouses. I think it would have been better if Beyonce and Shakira worked together on a song from scratch rather than what they did (Beyonce wrote the song and left spots open for Shakira, asked her, then Shakira agreed to the duet). Had they created a song from scratch it would have probably been a lot better and much more effective.
i loved this song but man when the duet w/ Miguel Bose came out i loved that song so much more. lol. can't stop playing it. but now i can't stop playing Pure Intuition LOL. but Beautiful Liar is doing pretty well for no promotion and still gaining momentum in Latin America and Europe (as u can tell) but enough of that. AND A QUESTION FOR YOU ALL Is it true that Hips Don't Lie will be the first song this millenium that will cross the 10,000,000 digital downloads sometime this year or that it has already passed that mark????
Shakira is definatly one of the best. Her voice is so unique. I'm so glad the song went to number one. Although, I think they should have done a more upbeat song to suit their voices and dancing abilities. I still loved Beautiful Liar though.
Beyoncé's first number one hit and Shakira's third in both markets.
Also number one in the UK, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Switzerland, Bulgaria and New Zealand.
Top 5 biggest markets in the world.
U.S.: no. 3
Japan: ?
U.K.: no. 1
France: no. 1
Germany: no. 1
yeah so hopefully next week Avril will fall in the world chart to let Shakira and Beyonce take over. Avril's girlfriend has had a good run but Shakira has to go to number one lol just saying ... and i didn't think that the united world points were sales... hello i'm the one who updates that thing but someone told me that the song it self has been able to sell close to 10,000,000 copies worldwide i was trying to see if anyone has heard that before. lol.z

who said it was Shakira's? and yeah the only reason why this song is doing so well is b/c Shakira is in it... this song would not have lasted a day on any chart if Shakira wasn't in it. this song is moving up fast in latin america b/c of shakira but it will die now cause Las De La Intuicion just got released. looks like Shakira will for a third year will top the year end lists overall in latin america.
I liked "Beautiful Liar" a lot--I predicted it would be the biggest single of the year. I can't understand why it was somewhat of a flop here in the States. I guess I wasn't too wrong though because it has proven to be a sizable hit in Europe. I thought the song was really well-done, I don't understand how anyone could call it weak. IMO, it's on par with "The Boy Is Mine" and I really thought it would have the same success.
Say what? It's says "Beyonce & Shakira" Unless the official single cover is wrong.......... Hmmmm, official cover or you?
They both are responsible for the song's success.
this is bee hit cause it came from her album.... and there is also a spanish verison for it whidh was on ly sang by bee and a solo too..... but nevertheless it is a hit to both of them because it credits shakira as a FEATURED artist
