  • The video became the first released in 2026 to reach that figure, while the song also topped Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart.
  • The milestone marked Shakira’s first number one on that chart and Burna Boy’s first as a lead artist.

Shakira has reached another career milestone after the video for “Dai Dai,” her collaboration with Nigerian artist Burna Boy and the official song of the 2026 World Cup, passed 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 released by the Colombian singer’s press team. “One billion views is beyond my dreams. Thank you to my incredible fans for making it all possible. I love you!” Shakira wrote on social media.

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

The song also rose to number one on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart, which measures radio play in the United States. It was Shakira’s first lead on the chart after 12 entries. Her previous best was fifth place in 2006 with “Hips Don’t Lie,” her collaboration with Wyclef Jean.

The result also set a new mark for Burna Boy, giving him his first number one as a lead artist and his second overall, Billboard said. The YouTube record and chart-topping result add another World Cup chapter for Shakira, following “Waka Waka” from South Africa 2010 and “La La La” from Brazil 2014.

One billion views is beyond my dreams. Thank you to my incredible fans for making it all possible. I love you!
