Burna Boy, Shakira Make World Cup History With 800 Million-Stream Anthem

Nigerian music star Burna Boy and Colombian singer Shakira have set a new FIFA World Cup music milestone after their official 2026 tournament anthem, “Dai Dai,” surpassed 800 million combined streams across Spotify and YouTube Music.

The impressive feat follows months of strong global engagement during the World Cup, with the song becoming one of the tournament’s most recognisable soundtracks. Information available to DailyInsightNG indicates that the anthem has now recorded more than 200 million Spotify streams alongside over 600 million views on YouTube Music.

The figures make “Dai Dai” the most successful official FIFA World Cup song throughout the 2026 tournament, underlining its popularity among football fans worldwide.

The achievement also places the music video among FIFA’s biggest digital successes. According to tournament statistics released after the competition, the visual has become the most-viewed official World Cup music video since Shakira’s “La La La (Brazil 2014).”

Released before the tournament kicked off, “Dai Dai” quickly gained momentum as supporters from different countries embraced the song during matches, fan celebrations and victory parades.

The anthem also received another major boost after Burna Boy and Shakira performed it during the historic first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show, introducing the song to millions of viewers watching the final around the world.

The latest milestone further strengthens Burna Boy’s growing international profile while extending Shakira’s long-standing influence in FIFA World Cup music. The success of “Dai Dai” is expected to keep the song among the tournament’s defining cultural moments long after the final whistle.
