Shakira, Burna Boy, ‘Dai Dai’ becomes highest charting world cup anthem on hot 100

Shakira and Burna Boy have added another historic milestone to their blockbuster collaboration Dai Dai after the official 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem became the highest charting official World Cup song in Billboard Hot 100 history. The achievement cements the track as one of the biggest sporting anthems ever released and extends Shakira’s remarkable legacy as the undisputed queen of World Cup music.

The song has enjoyed a phenomenal run since its release, dominating streaming platforms and international music charts. Dai Dai has already reached Number One on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excluding US charts while also topping Spotify Global, Apple Music Global and YouTube Music rankings. The anthem has become a worldwide sensation, powered by its fusion of Latin pop, Afrobeats and football inspired energy.

The latest Billboard Hot 100 milestone makes Dai Dai the highest charting official FIFA World Cup anthem in the chart’s history. It is also only the fourth official World Cup song to ever appear on the Hot 100, highlighting the rare commercial success of the track in the United States.

No other artist has become as closely associated with the World Cup soundtrack across multiple generations.

The collaboration has also become a career defining moment for Burna Boy. The Nigerian superstar has earned one of the biggest global hits of his career while introducing Afrobeats to an even larger international audience through football’s biggest stage. The success of Dai Dai has further strengthened Burna Boy’s status as one of Africa’s most influential global music stars.

Momentum for the anthem surged even further after Shakira and Burna Boy performed the song during the FIFA World Cup celebrations. According to music analytics data, global streams of Dai Dai jumped significantly following the performance, with US streams rising by more than fifty percent and worldwide plays increasing by nearly one quarter within days.

As Dai Dai continues to dominate charts across the globe, the anthem has already secured its place among the most successful World Cup songs ever released. Combining Shakira’s unmatched World Cup legacy with Burna Boy’s global Afrobeats influence, the record has become a defining soundtrack of the 2026 FIFA World Cup and another landmark achievement for both superstars.
