The report says the video reached the mark less than four months after its 23 May release and remained at the top of a global songs chart. It also placed second on a US songs chart.
Those figures point to an audience that extends beyond football viewers looking for a tournament soundtrack. “Dai Dai” has retained attention in mainstream music markets, strengthening its position before the World Cup begins.
For Shakira, the reported milestone adds another major marker to a catalogue already closely connected with international football. The report says “Dai Dai” is her seventh billion-view video, following “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)” and “LaLaLa”, the songs associated with the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
For Burna Boy, the achievement reportedly represents his first billion-view video. The collaboration therefore carries weight for both artists: it extends Shakira’s football legacy while giving Burna Boy a significant new career landmark.
The report also credits the song with leading two worldwide chart rankings, spending 10 weeks at the top of one and seven weeks at the summit of another. It reportedly reached No. 1 on a rhythmic airplay chart as well.
That run matters because it shows “Dai Dai” has developed beyond event promotion. Its chart and streaming performance give the song a stronger chance of becoming part of the tournament’s lasting soundtrack rather than a release remembered only around kickoff.
The next test will come when the 2026 World Cup begins. The key storyline is whether “Dai Dai” becomes a recurring stadium and broadcast staple, or whether the tournament produces a newer musical moment around it.
