‘Dai Dai’ Dominates Billboard Global 200
“Dai Dai” has continued to demonstrate remarkable staying power on the Billboard charts.
The collaboration between Burna Boy and Shakira has now spent five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200, a major achievement for both artists.
The Global 200 ranks songs based on streaming and sales activity from more than 200 territories around the world.
The song’s continued dominance shows that its popularity has extended well beyond the World Cup tournament itself.
Song Extends Global Excl. U.S. Reign
The song’s performance has been even stronger on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.
“Dai Dai” has now remained at No. 1 on that chart for eight weeks.
Billboard said the song initially reached the top of the Global Excl. U.S. chart at the beginning of July.
Its continued success demonstrates the strong international appeal of the Burna Boy and Shakira collaboration.
The achievement is particularly significant for Burna Boy as he continues to expand his influence on the global music scene.
Millions of Streams Worldwide
According to data from Luminate cited by Billboard, “Dai Dai” recorded approximately 44.1 million streams worldwide between July 7 and July 13.
The song also generated around 6,000 sales globally during the same period.
Outside the United States, the song recorded approximately 37.8 million streams, representing a 10 percent decline from the previous tracking period.
It also sold about 4,000 copies outside the US, down eight percent.
Despite the slight declines, the song remained strong enough to retain its position at the top of the global chart.
Burna Boy and Shakira Gain US Momentum
“Dai Dai” has also continued to gain momentum within the United States.
Billboard reported that the song was increasing its presence across several radio formats.
It climbed to No. 3 as the Greatest Gainer on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, highlighting its growing popularity among American radio audiences.
The development gives the song another boost as it continues its international chart run.
The collaboration between Burna Boy and Shakira has also brought together two artists with enormous audiences across different regions of the world.
‘Dai Dai’ Makes History After World Cup
The song was released as the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which ended on July 19, 2026.
Spain eventually defeated Argentina 1-0 in the final to claim the tournament title.
Although the football competition has ended, “Dai Dai” has continued to perform strongly on music charts.
Its post-tournament success demonstrates that the song has managed to establish itself beyond its role as a sports anthem.
Rather than fading after the conclusion of the tournament, the track has continued to attract millions of listeners around the world.
‘Dai Dai’ Also Tops Latin Airplay
The song has also achieved success on Billboard’s Latin-focused chart rankings.
According to the report, “Dai Dai” topped the Latin Airplay chart for one week in late July.
That achievement further reflects the cross-cultural appeal of the collaboration.
Burna Boy has become one of Africa’s most internationally recognised artists, while Shakira remains one of the world’s biggest Latin music stars.
Their collaboration therefore combines Afrobeats, Latin and international pop audiences in a single record.
A Major Achievement for Afrobeats
For Burna Boy, the continued success of “Dai Dai” represents another significant moment in the global rise of Afrobeats.
The Nigerian superstar has spent years building an international audience, earning recognition across Europe, North America, Latin America and other markets.
Working alongside Shakira on a major global sporting event has given his music another enormous international platform.
The song’s performance on the Billboard charts also highlights the growing commercial power of African music.
With five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 and eight weeks atop the Global Excl. U.S. chart, “Dai Dai” has established itself as one of the biggest songs associated with the 2026 World Cup.
As streaming numbers continue to accumulate, Burna Boy and Shakira’s global hit appears set to remain a major force on international music charts.
