Dai Dai by Shakira and Burna Boy Hits Billboard Hot 100 At No 75

African music just made history again. Dai Dai, the global collaboration between Shakira and Burna Boy, has officially debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at No. 75. AfrobeatsGlobal has been watching this record climb across every chart, and this milestone is the biggest one yet.

The chart entry means Burna Boy now has nine career appearances on the Billboard Hot 100, extending his own record as the African artist with the most entries in the chart’s history.

Dai Dai, Shakira, Burna Boy: Billboard Details

Shakira and Burna Boy perform during the Opening Ceremony ahead of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Group A match between Mexico and South Africa at Mexico City Stadium on June 11, 2026 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Dai Dai by Shakira and Burna Boy debuted at No. 75 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in its latest chart update. The collaboration blends Shakira’s signature Latin pop energy with Burna Boy’s unmistakable Afrofusion sound. Furthermore, it is a record that has resonated with listeners across multiple continents since its release.

The song first gained massive visibility at the 2026 FIFA World Cup opening ceremony, where both artists delivered a historic live performance. Since then, it has been climbing consistently across streaming platforms and international charts. In addition, it previously peaked at No. 6 on the Spotify Global Top Songs chart before breaking into the Spotify Global Top 5.

Burna Boy Continues to Push the Boundaries

This Billboard Hot 100 debut is not just a milestone for Burna Boy. It is also a statement about what African artists can achieve on the world stage. Nine entries on the Billboard Hot 100 is a number that no other African artist in history has reached. However, for Burna Boy, this feels like the beginning rather than the ceiling.

The cross-cultural production of Dai Dai has helped it become one of the standout global collaborations of 2026. Meanwhile, Shakira continues to prove her ability to deliver chart-topping records that transcend genres and borders. Together, they have created something genuinely historic. Afrobeats is not just growing globally. It is setting records.
