Posted July 24, 20168 yr Jennifer Lopez's Official biggest songs in the UK revealed Happy birthday J-Lo! To celebrate, we count down your big ones. Written by: Justin Myers 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). Here's the full Official Top 20 biggest selling Jennifer Lopez singles: TITLE PEAK YEAR 1 ON THE FLOOR (FEAT PITBULL) 1 2011 908,600 2 IF YOU HAD MY LOVE 4 1999 366,000 3 I'M INTO YOU (FEAT LIL WAYNE) 9 2011 270,000 4 WAITING FOR TONIGHT 5 1999 255,000 5 GET RIGHT 1 2005 253,000 6 AIN'T IT FUNNY (REMIX) 4 2002 7 LOVE DON'T COST A THING 1 2001 8 I'M REAL 4 2001 9 ALL I HAVE (FEAT LL COOL J) 2 2003 200,000+ 10 PLAY 3 2001 11 I'M GONNA BE ALRIGHT 3 2002 12 CONTROL MYSELF (WITH LL COOL J) 2 2006 13 JENNY FROM THE BLOCK 3 2002 14 AIN'T IT FUNNY 3 2001 15 BABY I LOVE U 3 2004 16 DANCE AGAIN (FEAT PITBULL) 11 2012 17 DO IT WELL 11 2007 18 HOLD YOU DOWN (FEAT FAT JOE) 6 2005 19 FEELIN' SO GOOD 15 2000 20 PAPI 67 2011
July 24, 20168 yr On The Floor and Get Right slaying the top 5 :wub: Shocked Jenny From The Block is that low and yay at Papi sneaking in *.*
July 24, 20168 yr Seems like a sales only list, which could mean that 'On the Floor' could be over a million with streams. 'Jenny from the Block' feels too low given its status.
July 25, 20168 yr I don't even recognise half that list. Love Don't Cost a Thing, Play, Ain't It Funny and Jenny from the Block have all been outsold by Get Right? Play only just makes the top 10? And Ain't It Funny is number 14?! WOW What also shocks me is that Let's Get Loud was never released here - that's a great song Edited July 25, 20168 yr by JCM20
July 25, 20168 yr So many amazing hits :wub: They really screwed up with her Greatest Hits though and missed off some of her biggest UK hits and 'Ain't Your Mama' is crying for a tiny bit of promo here to become a hit.
July 25, 20168 yr Pretty funny it mentions she has 17 top 10 hits and they don't all even make the list
July 25, 20168 yr Love Dont Cost a Thing, Play, If You Had My Love & It That Funny (Ja Rule remix was brillant) are the best for me!
July 25, 20168 yr was expecting Love don't cost a thing to be higher and Jenny from the Block to be at least top 10
July 25, 20168 yr Get Right and Play - absolute tunes Surprised Jenny from the Block is so low - I'd say it was one of her most memorable hits.
July 25, 20168 yr Author The real concern is that the Ain't It Funny remix is so high :( oh and Live It Up is absent but I guess that's no real surprise :cry:
July 25, 20168 yr I'm into You being the 3rd highest is also surprising, guess it was released in the right era in perspective, crazy that Ain't It Funny was a top 5 twice in the space of months!!
July 25, 20168 yr This is a post from Shireblogger on Haven, dated May 2015. They're all estimates but it gives an idea of how much her songs have sold all the same: 3. JENNIFER LOPEZ :: 4,585k 1. Jennifer Lopez ft Pitbull -- On The Floor :: 875k 2. Jennifer Lopez -- If You Had My Love :: 360k 3. Jennifer Lopez -- Get Right :: 255k 4. Jennifer Lopez -- Waiting For Tonight :: 250k 5.

Jennifer Lopez ft Ja Rule -- Ain't It Funny (remix) :: 230k 9. Jennifer Lopez ft Ja Rule -- I'm Real :: 225k 10. Jennifer Lopez ft LL Cool J -- All I Have :: 220k 11. Jennifer Lopez -- Play :: 180k 12. Jennifer Lopez ft Nas -- I'm Gonna Be Alright :: 180k 13. Jennifer Lopez [LL Cool J ft] -- Control Myself :: 175k 14.

Jennifer Lopez ft Pitbull -- Live It Up :: 50k 23. Jennifer Lopez [Pitbull ft & Claudia Leitte] -- We Are One (Ole Ola) :: 45k 24. Jennifer Lopez -- Papi :: 35k 25. Jennifer Lopez -- Hold It Don't Drop It :: 25k 26. Jennifer Lopez -- First Love :: 10k 27. Jennifer Lopez ft Iggy Azalea -- Booty :: 10k
July 25, 20168 yr in perspective, crazy that Ain't It Funny was a top 5 twice in the space of months!! Although billed as a re-mix, the second Ain't It Funny was actually a completely different song to the first - the only thing they had in common was the words 'Ain't It Funny'.
July 26, 20168 yr My Top 10 J-Lo singles: 01 On the Floor 02 Get Right 03 Papi 04 If You Had My Love 05 Love Don't Cost a Thing 06 Ain't It Funny 07 Jenny from the Block 08 Let's Get Loud 09 Live It Up 10 Dance Again A classic/recent heavy list but I've discovered a lot of great stuff in her back catalogue whilst compiling that could easily sneak in once I'm more familiar with them.
July 26, 20168 yr It's a shame that songs like Jenny From The Block, All I Have and Get Right would've been BIG sellers if it wasn't for the sales climate they were released in. Loving the Get Right recognition nonetheless. :heart: It's a shame her #11 smash I'm Glad isn't anywhere to be seen but hey ho.
July 26, 20168 yr Author My top 10: 1. Live It Up (not sorry) 2. On the Floor 3. Get Right 4. I'm Into You 5. Play 6. Jenny From the Block 7. Love Don't Cost a Thing 8. Ain't It Funny (original, remix is terrible) 9. Dance Again 10. Booty (also not sorry, a total jam)
July 26, 20168 yr I remember 'Live It Up' was a personal chart #1 for me and I don't regret it a bit. :D Totally agree that the 'remix' of 'Ain't It Funny' is terrible too. 'Play' was one of the songs I've only heard for the first time but am already feeling it could become one of my favourites - only just missed out on my Top 10 actually.
