Just found this: Shakira, Latino pride. Waka, Waka (This is Africa), the hymn with which we vibrated at this World Cup and has just become number one of The Top 40 simultaneously in Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina. Only one artist had achieved this feat before, Alejandro Sanz Looking for paradise in the November 21, 2009. The song is one of the most downloaded songs and makes history by becoming the biggest selling single in Mexico, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, Germany, France, Chile, Colombia, Turkey, Belgium, Austria, U.S. Latin, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark and Finland. Source So that means Waka Waka has been number one in: 01 Argentina 01 Austria 01 Chile 01 Belgium (Flanders) 01 Belgium (Wallonia) 01 Chile 01 Columbia 01 Costa Rica 01 Denmark 01 Ecuador 01 Finland 01 France 01 Guatemala 01 Germany 01 Holland 01 Italy 01 Luxembourg 01 Mexico 01 Panama 01 Paraguay 01 Portugal 01 Spain 01 Switzerland 01 Sweden 01 South Africa 01 Turkey 02 Norway 10 Ireland 11 Canada 21 UK 32 Australia 34 NZ 38 US

I agree, i never prefer her english versions, but this wins hands down!

I have the English version, LOVE IT, has to be my fav song of the year... This is going to be a worldwide number one! & I'm Crazy But You Like It, Loca, Loca, Loca

I always forget to look up there and go straight to the main threads! ha

I just went on youtube to watch the video, and the one with over 100million views is gone? :S or am i just being stupid? lol

LOL! I hope next time round she just makes one solid album, Half English, Half Spanish... all single worthy.

I totally agree, and picking up on Out Of The Blue being the lead single, whoever allowed that to be the big post cancer comeback single needs to be sacked... out of all of the amazing tracks on that album, that was released :/ tbf virtually every single released from that album was wrong, the just totally messed it up. Also i wish that the people in charge would just listen to us ha I mean, if they did, Believe Again would have been huge all across Europe (not including the UK) I guess it is too late to give it a shot, but maybe if it is a double disk album for Europe (Album 3&4 as 1) and she has a new single which does quite well/ gets noticed across Europe then just maybe she could give Believe Again a shot as single #2 in Germany, which if it took off it would get it big in Austria/Switzerland and then take it to Scandinavia... as soon as it/she takes off in Scandinavia, the rest of Europe will follow... considering that is *the* place to be looking towards at the moment for cutting edge music/fashion etc (which mainland Europe def is following)

I agree with the double disk idea, that would be perfect! i was shocked the first time they used the song on Idol! It annoyed me that he never got her on Idol to promote in this life, considering he used her single so many times!

The title of Nadine Coyle's debut single has been announced as Insatiable. Nadine has also revealed on twitter, 'I am speaking with the director who does amazing videos and will shoot it next week in LA. I will send you pictures. Xx' As well as the sun already hearing the single and reporting that the song has an "'80s feel" and sounds similar to The Bangles... hopefully her first single isn't a ballad! Source

That video actually looks like it is going to be AMAZING. It has made me really excited for Delta's next album, andn she looks stunning! She looks like a model and makes brian look worse ha. Considering Brian is quite known in the UK, and it has done well in OZ, i wonder if it will get UK release... I hope so, just so i can see this video on the TV... but then again, Delta has been away for so long, i doubt she'd want this to be her return, as the song isn't amazing, but still good.

That would have actually been good! Stupid management! ha

I'v only heard the spanish version which Dizzee isn't on? Could someone send me the english version? But even a spanish version would do as it'll prob be better ha

That is a terrible cover, maybe she made it herself with word art LOL Hopefully the international english one will look a little better! The single cover is slightly better but still a bit $h!tty. I'm really looking forward to this album, i think it is going to be AMAZING. I just hope the songs work in English and don't just sound terrible.

Delta looks good ;p

I totally agree, mainland europe love a great ballad... Mel C has been huge there with ballads... Delta needs a better internationalising/Marketing team! Pick me ha

I doubt they'd let her now! They only let HUGE acts on... but then again they Show is about finding new talent and helping the underdog, so why is it always HUGE acts on? Stupid really...

I think mainstream artists should be more willing to do signings too, It worked for the saturdays and i know if Delta was going to be in my nearest HMV, i'd be there to buya copy of her CD just to meet her, even tho i harldy ever get around to buying music! ha They need more tv adverts/ give aways and random promotional activities ha

Well, you know what i meant ;p He shouldn't bother if he isn't interested ;p

Maybe the media now targets a few artists they are interested in and writes about them all the time without giving smaller acts many column inches... on top of that, there are no promotional outlets anymore... delta was ALWAYS on saturday/sunday kids tv, now we only have a pretentious T4 that isn't the same anyway, it's just about a few crappy tv shows, no June/Vern Chatshow vibe. Even late night chat shows, there arent really many? or daytime tv shows? not even paul o'grady or J Ross anymore... They have loose women, this morning and GMTV, and how many teenagers are watching them, excluding uni students who are hungover and don't buy music...

I wish the artists management released a list every so often of every chart position in every market... with sales would be nice too, but thats asking too much! and i agree, it's stupid of her management to let her fade away in the UK considering it was like her 2nd strongest market with potential growth, considernig she was all over the media because of kerry. She should just forget about the US and concentrate on Asia, europe and Oceania, because she could get quite big...

Well if you don't want to Mod the forum/ Don't like Delta, give it to someone who does.

Yer i agree, and i can't see her coming out with a ballad to change that mood... Her first album sold 820,000 in the UK apparently? i guess it could have trickled quite a bit by now too as woolworths use to have to for like 3quid forever and it has been years since any form of update, so it would be interesting to see what it stands at now.

Queen of the night, Sweet Dreams and Thats Freedom added. Please add anything else if she sang it live!
