Shakira reaches YouTube milestone with ‘Ciega, sordomuda’

Colombian singer Shakira has achieved a historic milestone on YouTube, as the music video for her 1998 hit ‘Ciega, sordomuda’ surpassed 400 million views. This achievement places her in an exclusive group of artists, including Michael Jackson, who have had music videos from four different decades—the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s, and 2020s—surpass the 400 million view mark.

The song was a key track from her critically acclaimed album ‘¿Dónde están los ladrones?’, which blended pop, rock, and Middle Eastern instrumentation. The album is noted for its creative impact on Spanish-language rock and pop, helping to establish Shakira as a global figure.
