The Charts Day #52 (part 2)

It's not a surprise by now that FIFA World Cups bring along several hits dedicated to praise the competition or the sport itself. And this year, the competition held in Brazil was no exception. Once more, Shakira teamed up with an artist from the country where the tournament is happening for a massive hit: "La la la", featuring Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown, is this week at #2 in the Spanish charts with its version in Spanish (but she also released a version of the song in English which you can see clicking here).
