Burna Boy has made history by becoming the first African artist to reach the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Global 200 Top Songs chart.

The Nigerian Grammy-winning star achieved the feat with “Dai Dai,” his collaboration with Colombian superstar Shakira and the official anthem of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The milestone marks another defining moment for Burna Boy and the global rise of Afrobeats, highlighting the genre’s growing influence across international markets.
Powered by impressive worldwide streaming numbers and strong digital sales, “Dai Dai” climbed to the summit of the global chart, further cementing Burna Boy’s reputation as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports.
The achievement adds another historic accolade to Burna Boy’s already remarkable career while reinforcing Africa’s expanding presence on the global music stage.
