Nigerian Afrofusion star Burna Boy has achieved a major career milestone after his FIFA World Cup 2026 anthem with Colombian music icon Shakira, "Dai Dai," reached No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart.
During the July 3–9, 2026 tracking week, the official World Cup song climbed to the summit of the global rankings while also extending its stay at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a third consecutive week.
