Nigerian musician and Grammy winner Burna Boy has achieved a major milestone. His collaboration with Colombian icon Shakira, titled Dai Dai, is now the most successful song in FIFA World Cup history regarding chart performance. The track climbed 25 spots this week, reaching a peak position of number 17.
This surge allows the song to surpass Waka Waka (A Time for Africa), the previous record holder performed by Shakira and Freshlyground. Dai Dai also reached number 3 on the Canadian Hot 100 and is currently in the running for the top spot on the UK Official Singles Chart.
In related news, Billboard confirmed it will retire the World Digital Song Sales chart, with the final issue set for June 27, 2026. This chart previously tracked successful commercial music from regions including Nigeria, Asia, South Africa, and the Caribbean. Prominent Afrobeat stars such as Wizkid, Rema, and Mr Eazi have held the top position on this list in the past.
