From the queen of Latin pop to the 'Goddess of the World Cup,' Shakira has written new history on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The official theme song for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America, "Dai Dai," a collaboration between Shakira and Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, climbed 25 spots from Jeonju's No. 42 to reach No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated August 1, 2026.

As a result, "Dai Dai" has achieved the highest ranking among all official World Cup theme songs ever released in the history of the Billboard charts.

Since the FIFA official theme song system was established with the 1990 Italy World Cup, only four songs have ever entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Prior to "Dai Dai," Shakira's "Waka Waka" from the 2010 South Africa World Cup reached a peak of No. 38; Ricky Martin's "The Cup of Life" from the 1998 France World Cup peaked at No. 45; and Pitbull, Jennifer Lopez, and Claudia Leitte's "We Are One" from the 2014 Brazil World Cup peaked at No. 59.

With this achievement, Shakira has become the only artist to hold both of the two official World Cup theme songs that have broken through the Billboard Hot 100 Top 40 barrier.
