Shakira's 'Dai Dai' hits 8 million

Shakira and Burna Boy’s “Dai Dai” reached 8 million streams on YouTube Music on May 21, according to the platform’s public counter and social posts that circulated the milestone that day. FIFA announced on May 15 that the track had been released as the official FIFA World Cup 2026 song via Sony Music Latin. The song is part of a broader World Cup music rollout tied to the tournament and to FIFA’s Global Citizen Education Fund. Public posts on X cited the YouTube Music counter at 8,000,000 on Thursday. ### How was the 8 million figure shown? YouTube Music displayed “Dai Dai” under Shakira and Burna Boy with a public stream counter that users cited at 8,000,000 on May 21. A fan post on X shared a screenshot of the milestone the same day, and the platform’s listing for the official audio identifies the track as “Shakira, Burna Boy - Dai Dai.” May 21 posts from users and streaming-watch accounts helped circulate the number across multiple accounts. Those posts did not announce a new release or chart placement; they pointed to the visible counter on YouTube Music. ### What exactly is “Dai Dai” in the World Cup rollout? FIFA said on May 15 that “Dai Dai” is the official FIFA World Cup 2026 song and that it was released featuring Shakira and Burna Boy via Sony Music Latin. (music.youtube.com) The governing body said the track is available on major streaming platforms and described it as part of the official tournament music program. (x.com) FIFA also said royalties from the song will support the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund, which aims to raise $100 million by the end of the tournament. Sony Music will match the first $250,000 raised with a donation, according to FIFA. ### How fast did the song reach that mark? May 15 is the publication date on FIFA’s release announcing “Dai Dai,” placing the 8 million YouTube Music milestone six days after the song’s official rollout was announced. (fifa.com) That gives the track an early streaming benchmark within its first week in public release. The official audio is listed on YouTube Music under shakiraVEVO, which is the version users referenced in milestone posts. FIFA embedded that same official audio in its release about the song. ### What else did FIFA say is coming next? FIFA said additional singles from the official FIFA World Cup 2026 album will be released in the coming weeks following “Lighter,” “Por Ella,” “Echo,” “Illuminate,” and now “Dai Dai.” The organization described the album as a multi-artist project spanning continents and genres.
