Shakira and Burna Boy's FIFA World Cup anthem, 'Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)', has achieved unprecedented success on global music charts. The song topped both the Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts in its first week, marking a significant milestone for the official World Cup theme.

Shakira's achievement with 'Dai Dai' is particularly noteworthy as she claims her second Global 200 No. 1 position. Her first was with 'TQG', featuring Karol G, which debuted at number one in March 2023. Burna Boy, on the other hand, has achieved his first top spot on these charts.
The song's success extends beyond streaming and sales figures; it also resonated strongly during the FIFA World Cup opening ceremony on June 11, where Shakira performed 'Dai Dai' for an audience of over 80,000 fans at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca. The performance was part of a star-studded lineup that included Justin Bieber, BTS, and Madonna, who are set to perform in the first-ever World Cup final halftime show on July 19.
Other notable performances during the tournament include Ariana Grande's 'Hate That I Made You Love Me', which dropped from No. 1 to No. 2 after two weeks at the top of the Global 200 chart, and Ella Langley’s 'Choosin' Texas', which rose five places to reach third on the same chart.
The success of 'Dai Dai' is not limited to streaming numbers; it also holds a strong position in the Global Excl. U.S. chart with 37.1 million streams and 4,000 sales outside the United States. The top five songs on this chart remain unchanged, with BTS's 'Swim' at No. 2 after eight weeks, followed by Ariana Grande’s 'Hate That I Made You Love Me', Michael Jackson’s 'Billie Jean', and Justin Bieber’s 'Beauty and a Beat'.
Adding to the success of 'Dai Dai', Temper City reached the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 with their rising rock hit 'Self Aware', which climbed nine places to No. 9, marking an increase of 5% in streams outside the United States.
The song's journey began in March when it became the trio’s first Billboard chart entry, reaching its best position at No. 3 on Alternative Airplay and entering the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs top 10. The band, comprising Aviv Barenholtz, Chen Kordova, and Eytan Peled, is based in Los Angeles.
