Shakira has achieved a historic milestone with her song "Dai Dai," as it has reached 1 billion views on YouTube in just three months. This record was set for a music video released in 2026, making it the fastest to achieve the billion views milestone on the platform. The song is a collaboration between Shakira and Nigerian artist Burna Boy, forming part of the official campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The music video's success was bolstered by its performances at the World Cup opening and final ceremonies, where Shakira and Burna Boy showcased the track. These appearances kept the song in the spotlight throughout the tournament. In addition to YouTube, "Dai Dai" has also been a hit on U.S. radio, reaching No. 1 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart this week, marking Shakira's first No. 1 in this category.
The achievement reflects a significant milestone for Burna Boy as well, as he secured his first No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay as a lead artist with this song. Shakira has previously achieved this success with the songs "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" for the 2010 World Cup and "La La La" for the 2014 World Cup. The 2026 World Cup provided Shakira with a chance to further cement her legacy in the realm of FIFA World Cup-associated songs.
