Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has reached another career milestone as his World Cup collaboration with Colombian superstar Shakira, “Dai Dai,” has become the highest-charting World Cup song in Billboard Hot 100 history.

The track climbed 25 places this week to reach No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, surpassing Shakira and South African band Freshlyground’s iconic “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” which previously held the record.

“Dai Dai” also rose to No. 3 on the Canadian Hot 100 and is currently competing for the top spot on the UK Official Singles Chart.

In a separate development, Billboard has discontinued its World Digital Song Sales chart, with the final edition published on June 27, 2026.

The chart tracked the commercial performance of songs from regions including Nigeria, Asia, the Caribbean, South Africa and other international markets.

Over the years, several Nigerian artistes, including Wizkid, Mr Eazi and Rema, topped the World Digital Song Sales chart, highlighting the growing global influence of Afrobeats.
