"Car Wash" is a single by singer Christina Aguilera, released in 2004, from the Shark Tale Soundtrack.

The song

The song features rapper Missy Elliott, and it is a cover of the song "Car Wash" by Rose Royce.

Chart success

Perhaps due to lack of promotion, "Car Wash" flopped in the US, failing to crack even the top fifty of either the Billboard Hot 100 or Hot 100 Airplay. The song was a relative hit on Hot Digital Tracks hitting #18. Unfortunately, downloads did not count towards the Hot 100 until early 2005, so sales points from the downloads were not allowed to be added to the song, thus, making the song classified as "Airplay Only".

Internationally, however, the story was much different, as the single became a top five hit in the UK.
