Happy birthday J-Lo! To celebrate, we count down your big ones.

It's Jennifer Lopez's birthday! Can you believe that J-Lo herself is 47 years old this weekend? She doesn't look a day over 21.

To celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the queen of Pitbull collaborations and generally looking amazing, we present a countdown of her biggest selling singles in the UK.

The Top 5

Claiming pole position is the most famous of Jennifer's many successful collaborations with her old mucker Pitbull. Together they reinvented a ample from Kaoma's old hit Lambada with new lyrics and, of course, a rap from Mr worldwide himself, and did what the original never managed to do – hit Number 1! On The Floor was J-Lo's third chart-topper and a first for Pitbull and it's sold a frankly whopping 908,600 copies.

Next up, in silver position, it's the song where it all began. If You Had My Love was Jennifer's big popstar debut, making the Top 10 in the UK in 1999, peaking at Number 4. It was the very first of 17 Top 10 hits for Jen, and its reality TV-inspired video actually predates the UK version of Big Brother, but does look a little like the first series – that's J-Lo's #impact. 366,000 copies sold.

Another collaboration comes in third, this time Jen's 2011 team-up with rapper Lil Wayne – I'm Into You. It may have only reached Number 9 – we say 'only', a Top 10 is a Top 10 – but it's sales that count. 270,000 of you clicked 'buy' on this one.

Fourth place goes to another early one, off Jennifer's debut album On the 6 – Waiting For Tonight. The surprisingly dancey follow-up to R&B jam If You Had My love, Waiting For Tonight went Top 5 and has sold 255,000 copies. Its video is a chilling reminder of the worldwide fear of the so-called Millennium Bug – Jen looks quite anxious when midnight comes at her very futuristic looking New Year bash, doesn't she?

Rounding off the Top 5, it's got horns, it's got hand claps – it's Get Right. Back in 2005, brass instrumentation bops were all the range, and Jennifer didn't want to miss out, so she unleashed Get Right and only went and had her second Number 1 with it! It's sold 253,000 copies.

Notable entries

Ain't It Funny makes the list twice, with the reswizzled version from remix album J To Tha L-O (this really happened) finishing at 6, and the more poppy original down at 14. Jennifer's first Number 1, Love Don't Cost A Thing, lands at 7. Two LL Cool J collabs make the cut, 2004's All IK Have 99) and the massive banger Control Myself from 2005 (12).
