The official 2026 FIFA World Cup anthem “Dai Dai” has entered the Global Spotify chart at #114, pulling in 1.77 million streams in its first tracking period. The Dai Dai Shakira Burna Boy collaboration brings together Latin pop and Afrobeats for a stadium-ready summer anthem.
The Dai Dai Spotify debut arrives just days after the track’s release on May 14. While #114 may seem modest for a World Cup anthem, the song faces an unusual challenge: it is competing against itself.
FIFA announced that Madonna, Shakira, and BTS will headline the July 19 final halftime show in New Jersey. That means three major artists with ties to the same tournament are saturating the market simultaneously. BTS alone commands a streaming army that can push any release into the top ten overnight.
Shakira’s previous World Cup anthem “Waka Waka” dropped in 2010, before streaming defined chart success. The rules have changed. A #114 debut with 1.77 million streams is not a flop. It is a launch position.
The song also supports a larger mission. Royalties go to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise 100 million for children′s education worldwide. Shakira donated her royalties from the track.
The music video dropped on May 15, filmed at Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã Stadium . Visuals often drive second-week streaming spikes. The World Cup itself does not kick off until June. Most fans are not in tournament mode yet.
The Dai Dai Shakira Burna Boy anthem is playing the long game. By July, when billions are watching the World Cup, this song will be everywhere. The #114 debut is not the finish line. It is simply the starting block.
