Burna Boy Makes History as First Male Artist to Top Spotify’s Global Music Video Chart with ‘Dai Dai’
Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy has added another historic achievement to his growing list of global records after becoming the first male artist to reach No. 1 on Spotify’s newly launched Global Music Video Chart.
The milestone was achieved with “Dai Dai,” his World Cup collaboration with Colombian singer Shakira, which has continued to dominate streaming platforms worldwide since its release.
The achievement also makes Burna Boy the first African artist and the first male musician to top Spotify’s Global Music Video Chart, further cementing his position as one of Africa’s biggest global music exports.
‘Dai Dai’ Continues Strong Global Chart Run
The success of “Dai Dai” extends beyond Spotify. The hit song has climbed to a new peak of No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking another major accomplishment for Burna Boy.
Industry projections suggest the track could break into the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 next week, driven by renewed global attention following Burna Boy and Shakira’s widely watched World Cup Final Halftime Show performance on Sunday.
The song has remained one of the biggest global releases of 2026, attracting millions of streams across multiple digital platforms.
YouTube and Apple Music Records Continue to Fall
Alongside its Spotify success, “Dai Dai” continues to dominate other streaming services.
The music video is currently the most-streamed music video on YouTube in 2026, accumulating nearly 500 million views in a relatively short period.
The track also previously reached No. 1 on the Apple Music Global Songs Chart, highlighting its worldwide popularity and cross-platform success.
Burna Boy Sets New Streaming Records
The global success of “Dai Dai” has also pushed Burna Boy to new personal milestones.
The Grammy-winning Nigerian star has extended his record as the African artist with the highest monthly listeners in Spotify history, surpassing 53 million monthly listeners.
He has also set another record on YouTube Music, becoming the African artist with the most monthly listeners on the platform with more than 600 million monthly listeners.
These achievements further strengthen Burna Boy’s status as one of Africa’s most influential artists on the global music scene.
