Burna Boy and Shakira’s World Cup anthem Dai Dai is still setting new benchmarks weeks after its release, and the latest numbers add two new records to Burna Boy’s already loaded year.
700 Million Views and Counting
Dai Dai has now surpassed 700 million views on YouTube, becoming the first music video of Burna Boy’s career to reach that mark. The song has climbed steadily through the summer, moving past 300 million views shortly after its release, then 400 million, then 500 million within two months, before pushing past its latest ceiling. It remains the most-watched music video of 2026 on the platform, a run that has held since its release around the World Cup and gained new momentum after Burna Boy and Shakira’s performance at the tournament’s final halftime show.

Eight Songs, 300 Million Streams Each
On Spotify, Dai Dai has now crossed 300 million streams, and with it, Burna Boy becomes the first African artist to have eight different songs each pass the 300 million stream mark on the platform. The achievement adds another layer to a Spotify run that has already seen him become the first African artist to surpass 50 million monthly listeners, a number that has since climbed past 53 million on the back of Dai Dai’s continued performance.

Building on an Unmatched Year
Both milestones extend a run that shows no signs of slowing. Dai Dai has already delivered Burna Boy his first number one on the Billboard Global 200, a shared feat with Tems atop Apple Music’s Global Songs chart, and the first-ever African-led number one on Spotify’s Global Music Video Chart. With the song now crossing 700 million YouTube views and adding an eighth song to his 300-million-stream club on Spotify, Burna Boy’s 2026 continues to strengthen its claim as the best year ever for any Afrobeats act.
