Colombian singer Shakira has set a new Facebook page record for most likes after she passed the 100 million like mark.
Shakira, 37, posted a thank-you video Friday to her fans on Facebook, which had been liked more than 162,000 people within one hour.
On YouTube, the video for “La La La” — sponsored by Activia yogurt — has been viewed more than 236 million times.
“Social media and specifically Facebook has helped myself and other artists bridge the gap between the stage and the audience,” Shakira said in statement.
On Twitter, which has a smaller user base overall, Shakira has 26.1 million followers. In addition to her singing career, she appeared as a judge on NBC’s “The Voice” for seasons.
