Shakira’s “Dai Dai” reaches 1 billion views as World Cup anthem

Shakira has added another major milestone to her World Cup music legacy. “Dai Dai,” her collaboration with Nigerian artist Burna Boy and the official song of the 2026 tournament, surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube in less than three months.

The video became the first released in 2026 to reach that figure, according to information shared by the singer's press team. Shakira celebrated the achievement on social media, writing, “One billion views is beyond my dreams. Thank you to my incredible fans for making it all possible. I love you!”

Released in May, “Dai Dai” was part of FIFA's official 2026 campaign. Proceeds from the song go to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund. Shakira and Burna Boy performed it at the tournament's opening ceremony, and it later played again during the final in July.

The song also reached No. 1 on Billboard's Rhythmic Airplay chart, which measures radio play in the United States. It marked Shakira's first lead on the chart after 12 entries. Burna Boy earned his first No. 1 as a lead artist and his second overall, according to Billboard.

The achievement extends Shakira's association with World Cup songs, following “Waka Waka” for South Africa 2010 and “La La La” for Brazil 2014.
