Burna Boy and Shakira's "Dai Dai," the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, continues its global dominance, holding the top spot on the Billboard Global 200 chart for a fifth consecutive week. The track also maintains its lead on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for an impressive eighth week.

Nearly a month after the tournament's conclusion on July 19, where Spain narrowly defeated Argentina, "Dai Dai" remains the world's most popular song. Data from Luminate indicates that between August 7 and August 13, the song achieved 44.1 million streams and 6,000 sales worldwide. While this represents a slight week-over-week decrease of 10% in streams and 9% in sales, its sustained popularity is remarkable.

Dai Dai, which first led the Global 200 in mid-July, drew 44.1 million streams (down 10% week over week) and sold 6,000 (down 9%) worldwide Aug. 7-13, according to Luminate.
