By ~~late August~~ early September 2026, the official 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem ‘Dai Dai’ by Shakira and Burna Boy demonstrated significant commercial longevity despite the tournament having concluded in July. The track, which blends Latin pop with afrobeats using multilingual lyrics in English, Spanish, Italian, French, and Japanese, continued to dominate global charts. In the United States, the song reached its seventh week at number one on the Billboard Global 200 and its tenth week at the top of the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. Luminate data reported that between August 21 and August 27, the track recorded 36.7 million streams and 4,000 sales worldwide, making it only the seventh song to hold the Global Excl. U.S. top position for 10 or more weeks since that chart’s inception in 2020. In Germany, GfK Entertainment noted that the song reached the top of the official single charts for the eighth time, maintaining its status as the most frequent number-one position held by any song in 2026. Earlier in August, the track also saw growth in the U.S. as the third greatest gainer on Rhythmic Airplay. By early September 2026, the anthem achieved a major digital milestone, surpassing 1 billion views on YouTube in less than three months since its May release. This achievement marks the first music video of 2026 to reach the billion-view threshold. The ~~track~~ track, which blends Latin pop with afrobeats using multilingual lyrics, also reached number one on the Billboard Rhythmic Airplay chart, marking Shakira’s first time leading that specific chart and Burna Boy’s first number one as a lead artist. This success follows the song’s performance during the tournament’s opening ceremony and final in July. As part of the official FIFA campaign, proceeds from the song are designated for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Under this partnership, Shakira is donating 100% of her royalties from the track to the fund, and Sony Music has committed to matching the first 250,000 dollars collected. The fund aims to raise 100 million dollars to support educational and sporting access for children globally.
