Karol G Notches First Multi-Week No. 1 on Billboard’s Global Charts with Judeline & Rusowsky-Collab “BbY WOW”

Posted on September 18, 2026 by Tom Castaneda

Karol G is still WOW-ing global audiences with her latest single…

The 35-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar’s latest single “BbY WOW,” a collaboration with Judeline and Rusowsky, has scored a second week at No. 1 on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts dated September 19.

It also marks Karol G’s first multi-week leader on the lists.

She previously topped each chart with “TQG,” with Shakira, in the song’s debut week in March 2023.

“BbY WOW” became the first No. 1 on the surveys for both Judeline and rusowsky.

The track continues as the biggest song in the world with 52.9 million streams (up 25% week over week) and 1,000 sold (up 24%) worldwide September 4-10, according to Luminate. It totaled 40 million streams (up 30%) outside the U.S.

Additionally, “BbY WOW” bounds 16-10 on the U.S.-based Billboard Hot 100, where it’s Karol G’s second Hot 100 top 10, after “TQG” reached No. 7, and Judeline and rusowsky’s first each.

“BbY WOW” concurrently leads the multimetric Hot Latin Songs chart for a fourth week.

The single appears on Karol G’s LP No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, which in August debuted at No. 1 on Top Latin Albums.

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

Karol G’s “No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto” Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums Chart

Posted on August 18, 2026 by Tom Castaneda

Karol G is a woman on top…

The 35-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning superstar’s sixth studio album, No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto, debuts at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart dated August 22, halting Bad Bunny’s reign with Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

Bad Bunny’s album has spent a record 77 nonconsecutive weeks atop the list and has been No. 1 since the January 24-dated chart.

Karol G’s set also floods Hot Latin Songs with 13 entries, led by “Ahí,” with Drake, which opens at No. 1.

No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto was released August 7 via Bichota/Interscope/Capitol, just more than a year after Tropicoqueta led the Top Latin Albums chart for two weeks in July 2025.

The new set marks Karol G’s fifth straight debut at the summit among seven career entries — only Unstoppable and Ocean fell short, peaking at No. 2 in 2017 and 2019, respectively.

No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto begins with 50,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in the tracking week of August 7-13, according to Luminate.

For its chart debut, the set registered 48,000 from streaming activity, which equals to 49.5 million official on-demand streams.

Album sales comprised a little over 1,000 units, with a negligible number of track-equivalent units.

With No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, Karol G adds her fifth No. 1 on Top Latin Albums. No other female artist has dominated the overall Latin albums ranking in the past decade like Karol G, who trails only the late Jenni Rivera and Shakira, each with seven No. 1 albums, the most among female artists in the chart’s history, dating to 1993.

Meanwhile, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto opens at No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200 — Karol G’s fourth top 10 — and breaks through to No. 1 on Top Latin Pop Albums. Plus, the set arrives at No. 7 on Top Streaming Albums.

Here’s a rundown of Karol G’s No. 1s on Top Latin Albums:

Title, Debut Date, Weeks at No. 1
KG0516, April 10, 2021, one
Mañana Será Bonito, March 11, 2023, five
Mañana Sera Bonito (Bichota Season), Aug. 26, 2023, one
Tropicoqueta, July 5, 2025, two
No Me Arrepiento De Sentir Tanto, Aug. 22, 2026, one

On the tracks front, 13 tracks from the new album join two already charting titles on Hot Latin Songs, which includes streaming data, radio airplay and digital sales into its formula. “Después de Ti,” with duet parter Greg González, and the album’s first charting track, flies 17-10, while fellow advance single “Matadora” slips 4-3.

But the biggest winner is “Ahí,” her collab with Drake, which debuts at No. 1 largely by 5.9 million official U.S. clicks. The sum yields a No. 46 start on the overall Streaming Songs chart, and a No. 1 on Latin Streaming Songs.

Shakira’s Burna Boy-Collaboration “Dai Dai” Still Tops Global Charts

Posted on August 17, 2026 by Tom Castaneda

Shakira’s still bending it like Beckham on the global charts…

The FIFA World Cup may have wrapped nearly a month ago with Spain’s defeat of Argentina in the tournament’s final match, but the 49-year-old Colombian Grammy-winning singer and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)” is still the biggest song in the world.

The track tops the Billboard Global 200 for a fifth week and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for an eighth frame.

“Dai Dai,” which first led the Global 200 in mid-July, drew 44.1 million streams (down 10% week over week) and sold 6,000 (down 9%) worldwide August 7-13, according to Luminate.

It holds atop Global Excl. U.S., where it first reigned at the beginning of July, with 37.8 million streams (down 10%) and 4,000 sold (down 8%) outside the U.S.

In the U.S., the song continues to gain at multiple radio formats, rising to No. 3 as the Greatest Gainer on Rhythmic Airplay. It topped Latin Airplay for a week in late July.

Shakira’s Burna Boy-Collaboration “Dai Dai” Remains Atop the Billboard Global Charts

Posted on August 3, 2026 by Tom Castaneda

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.

“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.”

The Billboard Global 200 and Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Shakira’s Burna Boy-Collab “Dai Dai” Rises to No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart

Posted on July 21, 2026 by Tom Castaneda

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.

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 continues her chart-topping ways…

The 49-year-old Colombian superstar’s Burna Boy-collaboration “Dai Dai (FIFA World Cup Official Song 2026)” remains the most popular song in the world, topping the Billboard Global 200 for a second week and the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a fourth week.

It’s the first-ever official World Cup anthem to lead the lists, which began in 2020.

“Dai Dai” is No. 1 on the Global 200 with 43 million streams (up 4% week over week) and 5,000 sold (down 5%) worldwide July 10-16, according to Luminate.

During the final match of soccer’s preeminent tournament Sunday, Shakira, Justin Bieber, BTS and Madonna headlined the first-ever World Cup final halftime show, also featuring Burna Boy, among others, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., an 11-minute showcase that included “Dai Dai.”

It’s the first official FIFA World Cup anthem to lead both charts, which began in 2020.

“Dai Dai” drew 41.5 million streams (up 8% week over week) and sold 6,000 (down 4%) worldwide July 3-9, according to Luminate.

Shakira claims her second Global 200 No. 1, after “TQG,” with Karol G, led in its debut week in March 2023. Burna Boy reigns for the first time.

Shakira to Perform at the Great Pyramids of Giza

Posted on July 11, 2026 by Tom Castaneda

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.

Shakira 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.
