Shakira & Burna Boy’s FIFA Anthem Tops the World — With DFW Help

The soundtrack to the biggest sporting event on the planet just scored another massive win.

Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai," the official song of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, has climbed to the top of Billboard's global rankings, making it the biggest song in the world this week. The track has exploded in streams across multiple countries as fans continue celebrating one of the most successful World Cups ever.

For Dallas/Fort Worth, the achievement feels a little more personal.

The Metroplex was one of the centerpiece host regions for FIFA World Cup 2026, with AT&T Stadium welcoming multiple matches that brought hundreds of thousands of fans from around the world. Throughout the tournament, "Dai Dai" became one of the songs most closely associated with the excitement surrounding the event.

Shakira is no stranger to World Cup history. After unforgettable tournament anthems like "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" and "La La La (Brazil 2014)," she's added another global hit to her World Cup legacy. This time she teamed up with Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, blending Latin pop and Afrobeats into a song that's become a worldwide phenomenon.

The success comes just days before the historic first-ever FIFA World Cup Final Halftime Show, where Shakira is set to perform alongside an all-star lineup that includes Justin Bieber, BTS, Madonna and Coldplay.

Even though the tournament is wrapping up, its biggest anthem continues to gain momentum.

For soccer fans across Dallas/Fort Worth, "Dai Dai" will likely remain one of the songs forever connected to the summer the world came to North Texas.

If you've been listening to B96 over the past several weeks, you've already heard "Dai Dai." The official FIFA World Cup anthem has been part of our playlist during the tournament, and now the rest of the world is catching up as the song climbs to the top of the Billboard Global 200.Bill
