Akon

Shakira was already a huge Latin star when she crossed over into the US mainstream pop charts. All of her biggest hits on the US pop singles charts were recorded in English. This is a list of the five biggest of those songs. Highest chart ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 is included.

Akon, born in Senegal, has emerged as a top singer both in his own recordings and as a collaborator with other artists. His breakthrough single was "Lonely" which sampled Bobby Vinton's classic "Mr. Lonely."

This is the 3rd single from Akon's album 'Konvicted.' The song finds Akon in a laidback ballad mood singing defiantly about true love despite not being sanctioned by others.
