Shakira’s English-language hit “Hips Don’t Lie” became the most played song in pop history earlier this week, according to Nielsen. Via Top-40Charts.com:

“Hips Don’t Lie” by Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean became the most played song in pop radio history TODAY according to Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems. The song was played more times in the week ending 6/4/06 beating out the previous record by Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” made in the week ending 6/5/05. Shakira’s song’s total of 9,657 times played on the radio, broke Stefani’s previous record of 9,582.

Now I realize why I am starting to hate this song. I really liked it at first, but like anything else, and as they say on beer commercials “nada con exceso…todo con medida“.

In addition to boasting the most played song in history, Shakira

…also recently became the first artist in the history of the charts to earn the coveted No 1 Top 40 Mainstream song and No 1 Latin song in the same week and still holds the No 1 spot on the Latin chart.

Quite an accomplishment.
