Immediately racing to the top of music charts the world over, the bop has since become as standard every December as twinkle lights and candy canes, selling over 16 million copies.

World music superstar Shakira heads out on her massive 'Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran' world tour this year. One of the few Latin music stars to also dominate the English language charts, Shakira, who hails from Colombia, is best known in North America for her breakout hit 'Whenever, wherever', and the inescapable jam 'Hips Don't Lie (feat. Wyclef Jean)', which remains one of the best-selling digital singles of all time. With her unmistakable vocals, which incorporate the odd yodel here and there, real songwriting chops and some very truthful hips, Shakira is a real all-rounder.

Don McLean at Tarrytown Music Hall

Don McLean
