Carlos Vives is celebrating a YouTube first…
The 54-year-old Colombian singer has made his first appearance on YouTube’s Music Global Top 100 list with his collaboration with Shakira.
Vives and Shakira’s music video for their single “La Bicicleta,” shot in the Caribbean coast of Colombia, debuted at No. 8 on the Music Global Top 100 list.
During its first week on YouTube, it logged more than 20 million views. It’s now at 30 million views and counting.
According to YouTube, the video is most popular in Vives and Shakira’s native Colombia and it is the second track — first being Jennifer Lopez‘s “Ain’t Your Mama” — to debut in the top 10 on the YouTube charts since they were launched back in February.
Other popular Vives videos on YouTube include “El mar de sus ojos” featuring ChocQuibTown, “Cuando nos volamos a encontrar” with Marc Anthony, and “Volví a nacer.”
All three have more than 40 million views.
