Shakira & Burna Boy, HUGEL, Ultra Naté Highlight Global Charts

“Dai Dai” scores more time atop Billboard’s global charts, while HUGEL, Imael Angel & Ultra Naté’s “Movin’ to the Sun” goes top 10.

Shakira and Burna Boy’s collaboration “Dai Dai,” the official song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, continues to command the global music landscape well beyond the tournament’s finale. The track holds a firm grip on the Billboard Global 200 chart for a sixth consecutive week and extends its reign for a ninth week on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, underscoring its sustained international appeal.

Tracking data from Luminate indicates that during the week ending August 20, 2026, “Dai Dai” amassed over 40 million streams globally, although this marked a slight decline from previous figures. Sales also showed a modest drop, with approximately 5,000 units sold worldwide during that period. Despite these decreases, the song's enduring presence highlights its strong resonance with listeners worldwide.

Outside the United States, “Dai Dai” continues to lead with robust streaming numbers, accumulating around 34 million streams and 3,000 sales, reaffirming its dominance on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart since early July.

While “Dai Dai” maintains its top position, other tracks have begun to make notable moves on the charts. Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” climbed back to a peak position of number two on the Global 200, signaling rising momentum. Similarly, Tame Impala’s “Loser” experienced a significant boost, rising to number three following its feature in the new Spider-Man: Brand New Day soundtrack, marking a career-high placement on the chart.

Meanwhile, Ariana Grande’s “Hate That I Made You Love Me,” which previously held the number one spot intermittently since June, has shifted to number four on the Global 200, maintaining a strong presence amid fierce competition. Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, also ascended to number five after showing signs of resurgence following an earlier peak earlier in the year.

In the Global Excl. U.S. top five, Ariana Grande’s track steadies at number two, while Tame Impala’s “Loser” advances to a new personal best at number three. Bieber’s collaboration stabilizes at number four, with BTS’s “Swim” holding onto the fifth position after a notable eight-week run at number one in the months prior.

Adding fresh energy to the Global Excl. U.S. chart, the collaborative single “Movin’ to the Sun” by HUGEL, Imael Angel, and Ultra Naté has broken into the top 10, reaching number nine. The song garnered 16 million streams outside the United States, signaling growing international traction. For all three artists, this marks their first top 10 appearance on this chart, with Ultra Naté’s career standing out due to her longstanding success dating back to the early 1990s, including multiple number-one hits on Billboard’s Dance Club Songs chart.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts provide a comprehensive view of worldwide music consumption by compiling streaming and sales data from over 200 territories. The Global 200 includes all global data, whereas the Global Excl. U.S. chart excludes American figures to highlight international trends. Rankings are determined through a weighted formula that balances streams across subscription and ad-supported audio and video platforms alongside digital sales, excluding direct-to-consumer transactions.

As these charts continue to evolve, they offer a dynamic snapshot of the global music scene, reflecting both established artists’ ongoing influence and newcomers’ emerging impact. The latest rankings, dated August 29, 2026, are scheduled to be updated on Billboard.com, with the top 100 publicly accessible and full rankings available via Billboard’s subscription service, Billboard Pro.

These developments underscore the fluidity of global music consumption and the ability of artists like Shakira, Burna Boy, and Ultra Naté to connect with diverse audiences across borders. The ongoing success of “Dai Dai” and the ascent of new hits demonstrate the vibrant and shifting nature of pop culture on an international scale.
