Afrobeats star Burna Boy has made history as the first African artiste to surpass 929 million monthly listeners on YouTube Music
The latest achievement comes amid the continued global success of “Dai Dai,” his collaboration with Colombian superstar Shakira.
The song, which was released as the official FIFA World Cup 2026 song, has become a major streaming success and has continued to push Burna Boy’s music to new audiences around the world. FIFA confirmed that “Dai Dai” was released as the tournament’s official song, with royalties supporting the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund.
The collaboration has also delivered impressive results on Spotify. In July, Burna Boy became the first African artiste to reach 47.4 million monthly listeners on the platform, with reports attributing much of the surge to the popularity of “Dai Dai.” The song also reached No. 1 on Spotify’s Global Top Songs chart.
Spotify’s official platform currently lists “Dai Dai” among Burna Boy’s most popular songs, with the track having accumulated more than 200 million streams.
