Afrobeats star Burna Boy and Colombian music icon Shakira’s “Dai Dai”, the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has continued its impressive run on the Billboard charts, retaining the No. 1 position on the Billboard Global 200 for a fifth consecutive week.
The latest achievement further strengthens the song’s position as one of the biggest global hits to emerge from the 2026 football tournament, with the track continuing to perform strongly nearly a month after the competition came to an end.
Billboard announced on Tuesday that “Dai Dai” remained at the summit of the Billboard Global 200 for another week. The song also extended its reign on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart to eight consecutive weeks.
The American music publication described the track as the world’s biggest song, highlighting its continued commercial performance across international markets.
‘Dai Dai’ Continues Global Dominance
According to data from Luminate cited by Billboard, “Dai Dai” recorded 44.1 million streams and 6,000 sales globally between July 7 and 13.
The figures helped the Burna Boy and Shakira collaboration maintain its position at the top of the Billboard Global 200, which ranks songs based on worldwide streaming and sales activity.
The continued success of the song comes despite the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which provided much of its initial global exposure.
The tournament ended on July 19, 2026, with Spain defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final.
Despite the end of the competition, interest in “Dai Dai” has remained strong, allowing the song to maintain its position among the most-consumed tracks worldwide.
Eight Weeks At No. 1 Outside The US
The song’s performance has been even more impressive on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.
“Dai Dai” has now spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the chart, which measures song performance across territories outside the United States.
Billboard noted that the track first reached the summit of the Global Excl. U.S. chart at the beginning of July and has continued to hold the position.
During the latest tracking period, the song generated 37.8 million streams outside the US, representing a 10 percent decline from the previous period. It also recorded 4,000 sales, down eight percent.
Despite the slight declines in both metrics, the song still had enough momentum to remain at the top of the chart.
Strong Performance On US Radio
“Dai Dai” has also continued to make progress on American radio.
The collaboration climbed to No. 3 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, earning recognition as the Greatest Gainer.
The latest radio performance adds another layer to the song’s growing success in the United States, where Burna Boy has continued to strengthen his international profile.
For Shakira, the song also represents another major global release following her long-standing success across Latin and international music markets.
More Success On Latin Airplay
The song’s momentum has also extended to Latin music radio.
“Dai Dai” reached No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart for one week towards the end of July, adding another major achievement to its growing list of chart performances.
Its success across different Billboard charts demonstrates the broad appeal of the collaboration, particularly given the combination of Burna Boy’s Afrobeats sound and Shakira’s Latin-pop influence.
The track’s performance also reflects the growing crossover between African, Latin American and global pop music.
Burna Boy And Shakira’s Global Impact
The latest Billboard milestone further highlights the international reach of Burna Boy and Shakira’s collaboration.
With millions of streams, thousands of sales and strong radio performances, “Dai Dai” has continued to attract listeners well beyond the period of the World Cup.
The song’s sustained chart dominance also adds to Burna Boy’s growing list of international achievements, while reinforcing Shakira’s status as one of the most recognisable Latin music stars globally.
As “Dai Dai” enters another week at the top of the Billboard Global 200, the collaboration continues to prove that its appeal has extended beyond the football tournament that introduced it to audiences around the world.
