Shakira’s ‘Fijación Oral, Vol. 1’ Turns 20: All Songs Ranked from Worst to Best
Twenty years ago, Shakira dropped her sixth studio album, "Fijación Oral, Vol. 1." Billboard editors rank all 10 songs, from worst to best.

Her lyrics are daring and irreverent, filled with clever metaphors and flirtatious provocations (“ Yo seré tus deseos hechos piernas/ El objeto y la causa de tu perdición ”) that wink at the listener while keeping them guessing.
