The World Cup may be over, but the event’s signature song is still going strong. Shakira and Burna Boy teamed up to write and record “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026),” which served as the theme for the latest worldwide soccer tournament. The tune was released in time for fans to enjoy during the games, but it became a true worldwide sensation only after the sporting event was over.
In the weeks since the World Cup concluded, “Dai Dai” has continued to rank as one of the most popular tunes on the planet. As it holds for another week at No. 1 on one of Billboard’s most competitive tallies, the collaboration joins an exclusive club of some of the sturdiest rulers of all time.
Shakira and Burna Boy Rule the Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
“Dai Dai” is steady at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. once again this week. The ranking, published each week, tracks the most-consumed songs around the world. The list uses a methodology that includes sales and streaming activity, with all consumption originating in the United States removed from the equation.
As of this frame, “Dai Dai” has spent an even 10 turns as the most popular track around the planet, minus American consumption.
“Dai Dai” Becomes Only the Seventh 10-Week No. 1
“Dai Dai” is only the seventh song to spend at least 10 weeks leading the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. It has reigned for half as long as the all-time leader, “Golden” from KPop Demon Hunters, credited to Huntr/x as well as singers Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami. That smash held court at the summit for 20 frames between 2025 and earlier this year.
If “Dai Dai” can hang on for three more weeks, it will match Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers” and Harry Styles’s “As It Was” as two of the fifth-longest-running No. 1 hits in the history of the ranking.
Here are all of the tracks to spend 10 weeks or more at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S.
- 20 weeks – Huntr/x: Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami – “Golden”
- 19 weeks – Rosé and Bruno Mars – “Apt.”
- 17 weeks – Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars – “Die With a Smile”
- 14 weeks – Mariah Carey – “All I Want for Christmas Is You”
- 13 weeks – Miley Cyrus – “Flowers”
- 13 weeks – Harry Styles – “As It Was”
- 10 weeks – Shakira and Burna Boy – “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)”
Shakira and Burna Boy Lead Both Global Charts
“Dai Dai” is comfortable atop both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. this week. The two rankings are compiled using similar sales and streaming information from around the world, though the Billboard Global 200 includes American listening, while the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. does not. The Shakira and Burna team-up has now spent seven stints at No. 1 on the more all-encompassing Billboard Global 200.
“Dai Dai” Hits New Radio Peaks in America
It’s a big week for “Dai Dai,” which reaches new peaks on several radio-focused Billboard charts this week. The collaboration surges two spaces to No. 1 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart, nabbing its first turn at the summit.
