Burna Boy, Shakira’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Anthem Hits 10 Weeks at No. 1 on Billboard Global Chart

September 1, 2026 • admin

Burna Boy and Shakira’s FIFA World Cup collaboration, “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026),” has reached another major milestone after spending its 10th consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart.

Burna Boy celebrated the achievement on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, resharing Billboard’s announcement on his Instagram Story. The latest feat extends the song’s remarkable run at the top of a chart that measures music consumption across markets outside the United States.

“Dai Dai” has also spent seven weeks on the Billboard Global 200, further underlining the song’s strong performance worldwide. Its continued presence across both charts has placed the Nigerian Afrobeats star at the centre of one of the biggest musical moments surrounding the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The song brings together Burna Boy and Colombian superstar Shakira, two artists with strong international followings. Their contrasting musical styles have helped give the World Cup anthem a broad appeal, with the track connecting Afrobeats and Latin-pop audiences across different regions.

For Shakira, the World Cup connection carries a familiar history. The Colombian singer previously performed “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, which became one of the tournament’s most recognisable musical releases.

Burna Boy, meanwhile, has continued to expand Afrobeats’ presence on the global stage, and the performance of “Dai Dai” adds another major international milestone to his career.

With 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S., the FIFA World Cup anthem is showing staying power well beyond the tournament’s promotional cycle. Its seven-week run on the Billboard Global 200 also suggests that the collaboration has become a major global streaming and consumption success.

The latest chart milestone gives Burna Boy and Shakira another reason to celebrate as anticipation around the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues to build. For Nigerian music fans, it is another high-profile moment for Afrobeats on the world stage.
