Colombian-born singer Shakira has become the latest recording artist to accumulate over 30 million friends on Facebook.
The singer passed the 30 million mark on May 26 and in a show of gratitude uploaded a video on Facebook thanking her fans for making her one of only a handful of musicians to gain over 30 million friends on the social networking site.
