Intro
Shakira and Burna Boy’s **“**Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)” has debuted at No. 75 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated June 27, according to Billboard. The chart debut gives the 2026 FIFA World Cup one of its biggest music stories so far and places the official tournament song on the main U.S. singles chart.
The song’s rise follows Shakira and Burna Boy’s opening ceremony performance at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca on June 11, where they performed the track in front of a reported crowd of more than 80,000 fans. With the World Cup continuing through July 19, “Dai Dai” is now gaining attention as both a tournament anthem and a global chart hit.
“Dai Dai” Debuts At No. 75 On The Billboard Hot 100
According to Billboard, “Dai Dai” entered the Hot 100 at No. 75 based on activity in the United States during the June 12–18 tracking week.
The song recorded:
- 3.9 million official U.S. streams
- 6 million radio airplay audience impressions
- 2,000 sales in the United States
Each of those numbers increased from the previous week, showing that the World Cup opening ceremony helped push the song beyond the stadium stage and into wider music consumption.
For an official World Cup song, the Hot 100 debut is notable. Many tournament songs become familiar around the world during the event, but only a small number have reached the U.S. chart.
Shakira Adds Another World Cup Song To Her Chart History
Shakira already has one of the most recognizable songs in World Cup history with “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Now, with “Dai Dai” entering the Billboard Hot 100, she has added another World Cup chart entry to her career.
Billboard noted that “Dai Dai” is the fourth official World Cup song to appear on the Hot 100. Shakira is connected to two of them.
| Year | Song | Artist | Hot 100 Peak |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | “Dai Dai” | Shakira x Burna Boy | No. 75 so far |
| 2014 | “We Are One (Ole Ola)” | Pitbull feat. Jennifer Lopez & Claudia Leitte | No. 59 |
| 2010 | “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” | Shakira feat. Freshlyground | No. 38 |
| 1998 | “The Cup of Life” | Ricky Martin | No. 45 |
This makes Shakira the only artist listed with two official World Cup songs that have reached the Billboard Hot 100.
Burna Boy Brings Afrobeats To The World Cup Official Song
Burna Boy’s presence gives **“**Dai Dai” a broader international sound. The Nigerian artist brings Afrobeats influence to the official World Cup song, helping the track connect with audiences beyond Latin pop, U.S. radio and traditional football anthem formats.
That wider reach is reflected in the song’s global chart performance. “Dai Dai” climbed from No. 23 to No. 7 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart. Outside the United States, the song earned 29.7 million streams and 6,000 sales during the same tracking week.
The track also reached No. 1 on the Billboard Colombia Hot 100 and entered the top 10 on several Billboard Hits of the World charts.
What The Hot 100 Debut Means For World Cup Music
The chart performance of “Dai Dai” shows that official World Cup songs can still become major music moments when a global sporting event, high-profile artists and strong live exposure come together.
For FIFA, the song gives the 2026 tournament a clear musical identity. For Shakira, it strengthens her long-running connection with World Cup music. For Burna Boy, it places Afrobeats on one of the biggest sports stages in the world.
The song’s Hot 100 debut also shows that World Cup music is not limited to stadiums or social media clips. When the audience is large enough and the song connects across regions, a tournament anthem can still translate into measurable chart success.
Summary
Shakira and Burna Boy’s **“**Dai Dai” has debuted at No. 75 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the latest official World Cup song to reach the U.S. chart. The song gained momentum after its performance at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Mexico City.
The debut is especially important for Shakira, who now has two of the four official World Cup songs that have appeared on the Hot 100. With strong global streaming numbers, a top 10 position on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart and a No. 1 ranking in Colombia, “Dai Dai” is emerging as one of the key music moments of the 2026 World Cup.
