Nigerian music superstar Burna Boy has added another historic achievement to his growing list of global milestones after his FIFA World Cup collaboration with Shakira, ‘Dai Dai’, officially became the highest-charting World Cup song in Billboard Hot 100 history.

The record-breaking achievement comes after the song surged 25 places on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, reaching a new peak of No. 17. With this feat, ‘Dai Dai’ has overtaken Shakira and Freshlyground’s iconic ‘Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)’, which held the record for years as the highest-charting official FIFA World Cup anthem.

The achievement further highlights Burna Boy’s growing dominance on the global music scene, with the Grammy-winning artist continuing to push African music to new heights.

‘Dai Dai’ Climbs Charts Across Multiple Countries

The success of ‘Dai Dai’ is not limited to the United States.

This week, the song also climbed to No. 3 on the Canadian Hot 100, making it one of the biggest international hits currently dominating streaming platforms and radio.

The record is also competing for the No. 1 position on the UK Official Singles Chart, signaling even stronger momentum as it continues to gain popularity worldwide.

For Burna Boy, the latest chart success reinforces his reputation as one of Africa’s biggest global exports, while Shakira extends her long-standing legacy with another major international hit.

Billboard Ends World Digital Song Sales Chart After Final Issue

In a separate development, Billboard has officially discontinued its World Digital Song Sales chart.

The publication confirmed that the final edition of the chart was released on June 27, 2026, bringing an end to one of the industry’s long-running rankings dedicated to international digital music sales.

The chart played a significant role in highlighting commercially successful songs from regions including Nigeria, Asia, the Caribbean, South Africa, and several other global music markets.

Over the years, several Nigerian stars enjoyed major success on the ranking, with artists such as Wizkid, Mr Eazi, and Rema all reaching the top position at different times.

The discontinuation marks the end of a chart that helped showcase the increasing global influence of music from emerging markets, particularly Afrobeats, which has experienced remarkable international growth over the past decade.
