The World Cup may be over, but Shakira and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai” continues to thrive as a global anthem. The track maintains strong performance across multiple U.K. music charts, cementing its status as a standout collaboration.
Streaming Success: ‘Dai Dai’ Tops Charts
“Dai Dai” surged from No. 5 to No. 1 on the Official Streaming chart in its sixth week. This marks Shakira’s first career leader on the streaming-only roster, following limited top 40 entries earlier in her career.
Her previous U.K. chart success included “La La La” (No. 31) over a decade ago and “Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53” (No. 26) with Bizarrap. Burna Boy, meanwhile, achieves his first No. 1 with “Dai Dai,” surpassing earlier top 10 placements like “Own It” (No. 2).
Multi-Chart Dominance
“Dai Dai” also ascends to No. 2 on the Official Singles, Official Singles Sales, and Official Singles Downloads charts. Burna Boy could secure additional firsts if the track moves up further on purchase-based listings.
Legacy Anthem Maintains Traction
Shakira’s prior World Cup anthem “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” joins “Dai Dai” on four rankings. “Waka Waka” reaches new peaks on sales lists, climbing to No. 21 on Official Singles Sales and No. 20 on Official Singles Downloads for the first time.
Sustained Chart Presence
“Waka Waka” remains steady at No. 26 on the Official Singles chart, while “Dai Dai” continues to outperform on streaming metrics.
