Shakira

She is now referred to as the Queen of Latin Music. Behind the success, she also experienced failure, especially from her first two albums. However, she did not stop making music, presumably believing that she would make it someday, which she did. Her subsequent records, specifically her fifth studio album, Laundry Service, gave her international recognition with the help of her English singles Underneath Your Clothes and Whenever, Wherever.

Aside from those chart-topping hits, Shakira was also notable for her innumerable English and Spanish hits, such as Beautiful Liar, Hips Don’t Lie, and Waka Waka (This Time for Africa). To her credit of countless accolades, she has three Grammy Awards, seven Billboard Music Awards, and six Guinness World Records. Despite being a mother of two sons, she still finds time making music and performing live. In fact, she just headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show with Jennifer Lopez in 2020, while in July 2021, she released the lead single, Don’t Wait Up, of her upcoming twelfth studio album.
