August 8, 201014 yr Another week in the top 40. I think it's chart run is pretty great considering this has had zero airplay. The only time I've seen it on TV is on the top 40 countdowns, and even then they play that silly remix version.
August 9, 201014 yr Yes indeed considering the ;ack of promo etc its had a decent chart run and i do think it will manage 100,000 in total or not far off which isnt bad at all.

September 3, 201014 yr The label says the song has held the No. 1 spot on the Mexican chart for five weeks in succession and is No. 1 in Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Chile, Colombia, Finland, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Luxembourg, Paraguay, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and host country South Africa. Sony is servicing a pop mix to U.K. radio this week and the original version is currently at number 38 in the chart. "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" is featured on the official World Cup album "Listen Up!" and may make the tracklisting of Shakira's next album, the follow-up to "She Wolf." Speaking to Billboard at her Johannesburg hotel, Shakira said the as-yet-unnamed bilingual album, due September, is a return to her roots. "I see it [the new album] as having two currents," she says. "One is a lot about love and love experiences and emotions. And the other side of it is very joyful, and upbeat." Shakira also revealed that the music on her upcoming set would reflect influences from both the Dominican Republic and Colombia. "It's a little more Latin on one side and a little more rock 'n roll on the other side," Shakira says. The singer plays the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury June 26 before returning to South Africa to perform "Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)" with Freshlyground at the World Cup's closing ceremony July 11. So that means Waka Waka has been number one in: 01 Argentina 01 Austria 01 Chile 01 Belgium (Flanders) 01 Belgium (Wallonia) 01 Columbia 01 Denmark 01 Finland 01 France 01 Germany 01 Holland 01 Italy 01 Luxembourg 01 Paraguay 01 Portugal 01 Spain 01 Switzerland 01 Sweden 01 South Africa 02 Norway 10 Ireland 11 Canada 21 UK 32 Australia 34 NZ 38 US
