Shakira has monthly listeners on Spotify, becoming the first female Latin artist to reach the . The Colombian singer is only the second Latin artist reported to have crossed that line, after Bad Bunny.
The number describes unique listeners over a , not followers and not the total number of song streams. It can rise quickly when an artist releases new music, appears in major playlists or attracts fresh attention around a cultural event.
Shakira's latest surge has the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Her long connection with football includes “Hips Don't Lie,” performed around the 2006 tournament, and “Waka Waka,” the official song of the 2010 World Cup. Those tracks remain instantly far beyond Spanish-speaking markets.
Her also covers several eras and languages. Early Latin American hits, English-language pop records and more recent collaborations allow different generations to enter through different songs. That breadth matters on streaming services, where one viral track can lead listeners toward an artist's older work.
Touring can strengthen that effect. Concert clips, fan playlists and social posts keep songs circulating between official releases. When listeners discover one performance, recommendation systems can quickly connect them with related tracks, collaborations and recordings from earlier albums.
The achievement is notable because Latin music has expanded from a regional category into a central part of global pop. Bad Bunny previously became the first Latin artist to exceed 100 million monthly listeners, while Shakira's result marks a first for Latin women.
Still, monthly-listener figures are rather than permanent rankings. A listener is counted once even after playing many songs. A hit or event can , causing the total to fall. The figure measures current reach more clearly than loyalty or total consumption.
For Shakira, the milestone adds a streaming-era record to a career that began long before Spotify launched. It also shows how a deep catalogue can return to the centre of pop culture when a new global moment gives familiar songs another life.
