The 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem is already a record-breaker.“Dai Dai”by Shakira and Burna Boy just passed 1 billion YouTube views, less than four months after its May 23 release, making it one of the 10 fastest videos ever to reach the milestone.
The achievement is Shakira’s seventh billion-view video and Burna Boy’s first. The song is spending another week at No. 1 on YouTube’s Global Top Songs chart and No. 2 on the US Top Songs chart, and it previously became the first World Cup anthem to top Billboard’s Global Excl. U.S. and Global 200 charts.
With the tournament still ahead,“Dai Dai”is only gaining momentum — and it’s already in rare company. Shakira’s Billion Views Club résumé keeps growing, and Burna Boy just earned his first ticket in. Have you streamed“Dai Dai”yet, or are you waiting until the games begin?
