Burna Boy, Shakira’s ‘Dai Dai’ tops billboard Global chart for fifth week

Published by

Ebunoluwa Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy and Shakira Isabel popularly known as Shakira’s “Dai Dai,” the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has remained at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart for a fifth consecutive week.

The song also extended its run at the top of the Billboard Global Excl. US chart for eight weeks.

Billboard announced the latest figures on its X handle on Tuesday, reporting that “Dai Dai” remained the world’s biggest song nearly a month after the 2026 FIFA World Cup ended on July 19, following Spain’s 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina.

According to data from Luminate, “Dai Dai” recorded 44.1 million streams and 6,000 sales worldwide between August 7 and August 13.

Billboard said, “Dai Dai, which first led the Global 200 in mid-July, drew 44.1 million streams (down 10% week over week) and sold 6,000 (down 9%) worldwide Aug. 7-13, according to Luminate.

“It holds atop Global Excl. U.S., where it first reigned at the beginning of July, with 37.8 million streams (down 10%) and 4,000 sold (down 8%) outside the U.S.”

In the United States, the song continued to gain across radio formats, reaching No. 3 as the Greatest Gainer on the Rhythmic Airplay chart. It also spent a week at No. 1 on the Latin Airplay chart in late July.

Meanwhile, Tame Impala’s “Loser” recorded the biggest jump on the Global 200, moving from No. 51 to No. 5 after its streams increased by 72 per cent and sales rose by 27 per cent worldwide.

The song is featured in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with its rise on the chart linked to its use in the film.

Steve Lacy’s “Oh Yeah?”, which also features in the movie, climbed from No. 158 to No. 23, while Post Malone and Swae Lee’s “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)” rose from No. 53 to No. 29.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales data from more than 200 territories, compiled by Luminate.

While the Global 200 combines data from around the world, the Global Excl. U.S. chart measures activity from territories outside the United States.
