The other day, while sitting in the T.H. Gossip headquarters and listening to Shakira‘s “Hips Don’t Lie” for the 847th time , it occurred to us that we might as well buy the damn thing. Well, we were astonished to discover that no fewer than 15 songs are currently outpacing our Colombian princess on iTunes’ most downloaded list. Which gave us the idea to tell our readers what those songs are.
Below, you’ll find the Top 19 most downloaded songs on iTunes as of right this minute. Some you will definitely expect. Others will surprise you.
