#2 Waka-Waka by Shakira
The 2010 anthem was by Colombian singer Shakira and featured African fusion band Freshlyground.
The song disappointed a large number of South Africans who expected a local artist to be selected by FIFA.
The song lyrics describe the beautiful game as a battle with soldiers. The song featured traditional African music including an African guitar. The music video features several star players, including Sergio Aguero and Cristiano Ronaldo.
While the South Africans were unhappy, the song was a worldwide hit, with 1.8 billion views on Youtube. Over one million sales in the first two months secured its place as the fastest selling World Cup single of the digital age.
It also proved to be a lucky charm, with Shakira's beau Gerard Pique going on to lift the World Cup!
