London: Colombian superstar Shakira's hit song Waka Waka has passed the one billion views milestone on Youtube.
The official 2010 FIFA World Cup theme has helped Shakira become only the third Latin artist to achieve the impressive feat, following in the footsteps of Bruno Mars and his "Uptown Funk" collaboration with Mark Ronson, and Enrique Iglesias and his 2014 single "Bailando".
