Shakira & Burna Boy’s ‘Dai Dai,’ 10th Week No. 1 Global Excl. U.S.

As the global music landscape shifts with new releases and enduring hits, Shakira and Burna Boy’s collaboration “Dai Dai,” the official FIFA World Cup 2026 anthem, continues to command remarkable attention. Billboard.com reports that the track has now maintained a formidable ten-week run at number one on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, marking a significant achievement since the chart’s inception in 2020. Additionally, “Dai Dai” has also led the Billboard Global 200 for seven weeks, underscoring its widespread international appeal even after the conclusion of the summer tournament.

The song’s sustained success is noteworthy given the typical volatility of global charts, especially those that encompass streaming and sales data from over 200 territories worldwide. Despite a slight weekly decline—streaming dropped by 9% and sales by 15% during the tracking period of August 21-27—the single’s overall performance remains robust, with millions of streams and thousands of sales recorded both globally and outside the United States.

Joining the momentum on the charts, Colombian star Karol G’s “BbY WOW,” featuring Judeline and rusowsky, has surged into the top 10 on both the Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts. This marks new career milestones for Judeline and rusowsky, who appear in the top 10 rankings for the first time. Meanwhile, Stella Lefty, an emerging voice in country music, has broken into the Global 200’s top 10 with her track “Boston,” a significant breakthrough not only for her but also for female artists charting in country and global crossover spaces.

The top tier of the Global Excl. U.S. chart reveals dynamic shifts with Tame Impala’s “Loser” climbing to a new peak at number two, buoyed by its association with the Spider-Man: Brand New Day soundtrack. Justin Bieber’s “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, also rises, reflecting continued listener engagement months after its initial peak. Other prominent artists such as BTS and Ariana Grande maintain strong positions, illustrating the diverse range of international and genre influences shaping the current charts.

In a poignant resurgence, the recent passing of country music icon Dolly Parton has prompted a revival of her classic catalog on the Global 200 chart. Tracks like “Jolene,” “9 to 5,” and “Islands in the Stream” have re-entered the rankings, with “Jolene” reaching as high as number 16. These entries demonstrate the enduring legacy and global resonance of Parton’s contributions to music, as listeners worldwide revisit her work following her death on August 25.

Billboard’s Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts provide a comprehensive snapshot of worldwide musical consumption by incorporating data from both subscription and ad-supported audio and video streams, as well as digital sales—excluding direct-to-consumer purchases. This multi-faceted approach ensures a nuanced understanding of a song’s reach and popularity across different markets.

The ongoing chart performance of “Dai Dai” cements it in an exclusive group of songs that have dominated the Global Excl. U.S. chart for ten or more weeks since its establishment. This elite category includes only six other tracks, highlighting the exceptional nature of Shakira and Burna Boy’s collaboration.

As of the latest chart update dated September 5, 2026, available on Billboard.com and Billboard Pro, the global music scene reflects both the power of established stars and the emergence of new talents making significant inroads. The mix of genres, cultural influences, and media tie-ins continues to shape the global musical conversation, with “Dai Dai” standing as a defining anthem of the year’s international sporting moment and beyond.

While the detailed impact of these chart movements will continue to unfold, the current data affirms the dynamic and interconnected nature of today’s music industry, where global streaming trends and sales metrics serve as key indicators of a song’s influence and reach across audiences worldwide.
