Shakira's previous World Cup hit, “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” recorded with Freshlyground for the 2010 World Cup, secured a close second place with over 26 percent of the votes.

Following in third was Ricky Martin’s “Cup of Life (La Copa de la Vida)” from the 1998 World Cup, which received almost 25 percent of the vote.

This euphoric track was a significant moment in Martin's career, peaking at No.

60 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Performance.

Other notable songs in the poll included “Ole Ola (We Are One)” by Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Claudia Leitte, as well as “The Time of Our Lives” by Il Divo and Tony Braxton, showcasing the diverse range of musical styles that have accompanied the global football event over the years.
