She had a few hit singles, including one that will make one of those VH1 "Remember the Aughts" episodes.

That's about it.

The last 20 years? 1994-2013? Top female pop stars (based on what matters to them, sales and pop culture influence) would be:

Mariah Carey
Britney Spears
Beyonce
Rihanna
Janet Jackson
Shania Twain
Rihanna
Katy Perry
Mary J. Blige
Taylor Swift

In no particular order outside the top 3 I mentioned. Once you get past those 10, it's pretty debatable. You got....

Madonna
Alanis Morrisette
Gwen Stefani
Christina Aguilera
Jennifer Lopez
Alicia Keys
P!nk
Kelly Clarkson
Celine Dion
Toni Braxton

And even groups like
TLC
Destiny's Child
Dixie Chicks

It's pretty clear to me that Shakira isn't even top-20.
