Fresh off its reign atop the Billboard Global 200 and its spotlight turn during the World Cup’s first-ever halftime show, Shakira and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)” adds another win as it vaults 4-1 on the Latin Airplay chart (dated July 25).

The rise delivers Shakira her 25th No. 1 and hands Burna Boy a chart-topper in his first visit.


With “Dai Dai” atop Latin Airplay, Shakira extends her record for the most No. 1s among women in the chart’s 32-year history (J Balvin remains the overall leader with 40 chart-toppers). “Dai Dai” reaches the summit with a 25% gain in audience impressions, to 7.3 million, across the 152 Latin-reporting stations in the United States during the July 10-16 tracking week, according to Luminate.

“Dai Dai” marks Shakira’s return to the summit after more than a year, following the one-week reign of “Soltera” in January 2025. The latter became her first coronation as a solo artist dating to “Loba” in late 2009.

Notably, Burna Boy breaks into the No. 1 spot on any Latin chart coming his first try. The Nigerian singer-songwriter first reached a Billboard ranking through L.I.F.E.: Leaving An Impact For Eternity which hit the top 10 of the Reggae Albums chart. Adding to his overall achievements, “Dai” becomes his second chart-topper of 2026, following his featured run on Gunna’s “wgft,” which led Rhythmic Airplay for four weeks in January.

Since its Billboard debut, “Dai Dai” has collected 10 No. 1s worldwide, now adding Latin Airplay to its list of chart-topping achievements. The song’s global momentum began soon after its premiere at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony in Mexico City on June 11.

Here’s a breakdown of “Dai Dai’s” Billboard No. 1s across the globe, by peak date:

Peak Date, Chart, Weeks at No. 1
June 27, Billboard Colombia Hot 100, four
June 27, Switzerland Songs, four
July 4, Billboard Global Excl. U.S., three
July 4, Austria Songs, two
July 11, Billboard Argentina Hot 100, one
July 11, Luxembourg Songs, two
July 18, Billboard Global 200, two
July 18, Germany Songs, one
July 18, Belgium Songs, one
July 25, Latin Airplay, one

“Dai Dai’s” chart domination may continue, even though the World Cup concluded on July 19. Its World Cup final halftime-show performance took place on July 19, during the July 17-23 tracking week, which could lift airplay, streams, and sales globally. At the same time, the song may begin to lose momentum with the final four days of the current tracking period falling after the tournament’s close.

University of Alberta Study Finds 87% of Canadian Musicians View Generative AI ‘Negatively’

The Western Canadian university surveyed 263 Canadian musicians about their thoughts on AI’s rampant rise and the use of streaming services as an artistic tool.

A new study from the University of Alberta surveyed 263 “working Canadian musicians,” asking them about their experiences working in the evolving music industry. As respondents discussed an increase in the industry’s tech advancements, namely generative AI, many were not optimistic.

Of the 142 participants who highlighted the rapid use of AI, 87% viewed it “negatively.” Many shared they are actively avoiding the tool in their music, with some explaining that it’s devaluing human-made work. As AI continues to affect the music industry, participants say that it’s becoming a challenge to bring in new listeners and earn a livable wage.
