If you've been listening to American pop radio in the past, I don't know, five months, you've heard this song.

Shakira had a crossover hit with ' La Tortura' in 2005, and going back even further, ' La Bamba' was a hit in 1987. It just doesn't happen very often - 'occasionally,' Trust says. 'It's romantic, it's sensual I think addictive is actually a perfect word to use for how the song totally comes together,' Trust tells NPR's Arun Rath. Gary Trust, Billboard's associate director of charts/radio, says Iglesias told Billboard that he thinks there's something 'addictive' about the song.
