Shakira is still kickin’ it at the top of the global charts.

The 49-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar’s Burna Boy-collaboration “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)” continues leading the Billboard Global 200 for a fourth week and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a sixth week, despite the fact the World Cup ended on July 19.

Shakira, Burna Boy,“Dai Dai” remains No. 1 on the Global 200 with 56.8 million streams (down 2% week over week) and 9,000 sold (down 44%) worldwide July 24-30, according to Luminate.

It tops Global Excl. U.S. with 48.5 million streams (down 2%) and 6,000 sold (down 32%) outside the U.S.

A week earlier, the song, which became the first official World Cup anthem to lead the lists, surged after Shakira, Justin Bieber, BTS and Madonna headlined the preeminent soccer tournament’s first-ever final halftime show, also featuring Burna Boy, among others, on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., an 11-minute spotlight that included “Dai Dai.”

Shakira’s is expanding her reign across the Billboard charts…

Following her chart-topping performance on the Billboard Global 200 and its spotlight turn during the FIFA World Cup’s first-ever halftime show, the 49-year-old Colombian superstar 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.

Shakira, Burna Boy,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.

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.

Shakira to Perform at the Great Pyramids of Giza

Shakira is returning to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World…

Nearly two decades after first performing in one of the most unique concert settings on the planet, the 49-year-old Colombian singer, songwriter, dancer and record producer is returning to the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.

ShakiraShakira will set up shop in the shadow of the archaeological treasure on November 28 in a show presented by Venture Lifestyle, which has staged similar events there with JLo, John Legend and Katy Perry.

The gig will be a return of sorts for Shak, who previously performed in front of the Pyramids — the only surviving structure from the original seven wonders of the ancient world — in 2007 during her Oral Fixation tour. Tickets for the November show are available here.

“I’m very happy to be performing in Egypt, at the Pyramids of Giza. I love you all,” Shakira said in a statement about her return to the iconic site.

The pyramids show, part of the singer’s Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour, was originally scheduled for April 7, but was rescheduled to November due to what promoters called “the situation in the region,” in the wake of the U.S. and Israel’s war against Iran.

Before that, Shakira will take the stage for the first-ever FIFA World Cup final halftime show on July 19 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

The show, curated by Coldplay singer Chris Martin, will also feature performances from Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS, Burna Boy and Gustavo Dudamel.

“It’s going to be a shared halftime show … it’s going to be pretty historic, five amazing artists, well four amazing artists plus me,” the singer said in an interview earlier this week.

She previously helped open the 2026 FIFA World cup last month when she performed at the opening ceremony in Mexico City at the iconic Azteca Stadium alongside Burna Boy and J Balvin.

The singer performed her official 2026 World Cup anthem, “Dai Dai,” whose profits will be donated to the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund; $500,000 from that fund will be used to support education intervention for children affected by the recent pair of devastating earthquakes in Venezuela.

Shakira was spotted taking in the France vs. Morocco World Cup quarterfinal game on Thursday (July 9) at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.

TINI Appears on Coldplay’s Latest Single “We Pray”

TINI’s prayer has been answered…

Coldplay has released its new single “We Pray,” which features an appearance by the 27-year-old Argentine singer, actress, dancer and model.

TINIIn addition to TINI, the single also includes vocals by Little Simz, Burna Boy and Palestinian-Chilean singer-songwriter Elyanna.

Few would expect Chris Martin & Co. to lead off a New Music Friday single featuring an All-Star global cast of singers and rappers — but Coldplay has extended their pop-rock superstardom into its third decade largely due to their willingness to embrace younger artists and new sounds.

So it’s not exactly shocking — and decently rousing — to hear Martin belting “We’ll be singing, Baraye!” over a booming Max Martin-co-produced beat as voices from around the world support him in hoping for simpler and safer times.

“I know somewhere that heaven is waitin’/ And so we pray/ I know somewhere there’s something amazin’/ And so we pray/ I know somewhere we’ll feel no pain/ Until we make it to the end of the day,” the uplifting chorus declares.

Coldplay is currently in the midst of their massive Music of the Spheres World Tour.

According to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, the run has grossed $945.7 million and sold 8.8 million tickets since launching in March 2022. That makes it both the highest grossing and best-selling trek among rock acts in the almost 40 years that Boxscore has been tracking concert data.

Coldplay is gearing up to release their 10th studio album, Moon Music, which is set to drop on October 4 and is led by LP’s first single, “feelslikeimfallinginlove.” In line with the foursome’s long-standing eco-ethics, Coldplay has “gone to great lengths” to make the physical release of Moon Music “as sustainable as possible,” according to a statement.

Each 140g LP will contain some nine recycled PET-plastic bottles recovered from post-consumer waste, and the CD version is said be the “world’s first” to be released on EcoCD, created from 90% recycled polycarbonate, also sourced from post-consumer waste.

TINI previously sang alongside Coldplay at River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires in 2022, singing “Let Somebody Go / Carne y Hueso” during her surprise appearance.
