Grammy-winning Nigerian singer Burna Boy has made history after his collaborative FIFA World Cup anthem with Shakira, 'Dai Dai,' became the highest-charting World Cup song of all time.
The song climbed 25 places this week to reach No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, overtaking Shakira and Freshlyground's iconic 'Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),' which previously held the record.
'Dai Dai' also reached No. 3 on the Canadian Hot 100 and is currently in contention for the No. 1 spot on the UK Official Singles Chart, further cementing its global success.
In another development, Billboard has officially discontinued its World Digital Song Sales chart, with the final edition published on June 27, 2026.
The chart had long served as a key measure of the commercial success of songs from regions including Nigeria, Asia, the Caribbean and South Africa.
Over the years, several Nigerian stars, including Wizkid, Mr Eazi and Rema, topped the chart before its discontinuation.
