Shakira's 'Dai Dai' Named Official Summer Hit of 2026

Colombian pop star Shakira and Nigerian Afrobeats artist Burna Boy’s World Cup anthem “Dai Dai” has been crowned the official summer hit of 2026. The GfK Entertainment chart‑tracking firm announced that the track has led the official German single charts for five consecutive weeks, amassing nearly 60 million streams in Germany alone. The song’s upbeat blend of Afrobeats, dance‑pop and reggaeton, together with a viral dance routine, satisfied the criteria used to select the summer hit.

“Dai Dai” was the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, and was performed at both the opening ceremony in Mexico City and the halftime show of the final in New Jersey. A Spanish‑language version and several remixes have been released, with proceeds from the song’s royalties earmarked for FIFA’s Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million for children’s education and sport projects worldwide.
