Shakira and Burna Boy's 'Dai Dai' Dominates Billboard Global Charts for Fifth Week
The World Cup anthem 'Dai Dai' continues to soar, marking significant milestones for both artists.

The collaboration between Colombian superstar Shakira and Nigerian Afrobeats icon Burna Boy, titled "Dai Dai", has achieved remarkable success by maintaining its position at the top of the Billboard Global 200 chart for five consecutive weeks. This achievement comes shortly after the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which concluded on July 19 in New Jersey, USA.
According to the latest data from Luminate, "Dai Dai" recorded an impressive 44.1 million streams globally and sold 6,000 copies during the tracking period from August 7 to August 13. The song has also topped the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for an impressive eighth week, showcasing its widespread appeal beyond the American market.
"Dai Dai" was performed by Shakira and Burna Boy during the opening ceremony in Mexico City and again during the halftime show of the World Cup final, further cementing its status as the tournament's anthem. The song initially reached the top of the Billboard Global 200 in mid-July, shortly after the World Cup commenced, and has continued to resonate with audiences worldwide despite the tournament's conclusion.
This milestone marks Burna Boy's first number one on the Billboard Global 200, highlighting his growing international presence and the global reach of Afrobeats music. The success of "Dai Dai" not only underscores the collaboration's impact but also reflects the increasing popularity of African artists on the global stage.
As the charts continue to reflect the song's dominance, both Shakira and Burna Boy are poised to further their careers with this significant achievement, showcasing the power of music to unite fans across different cultures and backgrounds.
