One of the best things about today's online music services is the opportunity to purchase individual songs for unlimited listening regardless of whether or not they have been released as a single. Each week I uncover some of the best pop tracks to download from online music services. This edition is devoted entirely to the work of Shakira beyond her current hit single "Hips Don't Lie.
5. Whenever, Wherever (2001)
Shakira's English language breakthrough from the album Laundry Service.
7. Obtener un Si (2005)
Light, airy pop that seems to come from another era. It is a track from the album Fijacion Oral, Vol. 1.
8. La Tortura (2005) featuring Alejandro Sanz
This track from Fijacion Oral, Vol. 1 became Shakira's biggest Latin hit single.
10. Timor (2005)
Shakira deftly combines dance pop and a social conscience on this track from Oral Fixation, Vol. 2.
