FIFA World Cup 2026 songs hit global charts, from Burna Boy's US platinum to Germany's revived 1986 hit

Shakira and Burna Boy's official World Cup 2026 track “Dai Dai” was certified 2× Platinum (Latin) in the United States, exceeding 120,000 equivalent units according to the RIAA. The song debuted at No. 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, gave Burna Boy his 10th chart entry and made him the Nigerian artist with the most Hot 100 appearances. It also spent six non‑consecutive days at No. 1 on the Global Spotify chart, accumulating more than 154 million streams and qualifying for Gold certification in France.

In Germany, the 40‑year‑old Schlager song “Viva la México,” originally released by the duo Klaus und Klaus for the 1986 World Cup, was re‑recorded and surged to the top of the iTunes Schlager chart at the start of the 2026 tournament, briefly overtaking Helene Fischer’s new World Cup song. The remake, featuring new vocals and contributions from the Goldjungs and DJ Fabi Fiesta, sparked a week‑long chart battle before Fischer’s track reclaimed the lead. The resurgence highlighted the enduring link between football and popular music across generations.
