Shakira’s World Cup Anthem Surges Up U.S. Charts and Nears the Billboard Number One Spot

2 on the Billboard Digital Song Sales chart, blocked from the summit by BTS's "Normal." The collaboration simultaneously establishes new peaks on four American tallies while holding firm at No. 1 on both Billboard Global charts, converting a tournament push into a multi-format commercial footprint.

Chart Performance Breakdown

"Dai Dai" is registering across nearly every U.S. consumer-facing metric this frame:

• Billboard Hot 100: vaults from No. 42 to No. 17 — a 25-position leap and a new peak by a wide margin
• Digital Song Sales: rises from No. 9 to No. 2, an all-time high on the purchase-focused tally
• Rhythmic Airplay: climbs to No. 11 in its ninth week on the list, narrowly missing the top 10
• Radio Songs: reaches No. 44 in only its second frame on the all-format ranking
• Streaming Songs: debuts at No. 15, a strong opening for an established catalog name
• Billboard Global 200: holds at No. 1
• Billboard Global Excl. U.S.: holds at No. 1
• Latin Airplay: slips to No. 3 after a prior run at the summit

The differential between the global charts — where the song already owns the top slot — and the domestic U.S. rankings, where it is still climbing, is the defining structural feature of this frame. The gap reflects BTS's domestic sales advantage versus Shakira's broader international reach.

The BTS Blocker

The Digital Song Sales chart remains the immediate battleground. "Normal" reenters at No. 1, delivering BTS its 15th leader and tying Drake for the third-most No. 1s in the tally's history. That positioning cuts Shakira off one space from her third career leader on the purchase-focused list — a milestone that would follow "Hips Don't Lie" (with Wyclef Jean) and "Beautiful Liar" (with Beyoncé). For Burna Boy, the conversion would mark his first No. 1 on the ranking.

Catalog Lift

The World Cup cycle is also reactivating older Shakira inventory. "Waka Waka (This Time for Africa)" and "Hips Don't Lie" both reach new peaks on Billboard's global tallies, an algorithmic assist typical of legacy track revival during tentpole sporting moments. The push extends Shakira's effective market share beyond the current single, with two catalog entries now simultaneously charting at elevated positions. The combined effect is a wider revenue footprint than a single-track release would normally generate.

What to Watch

The Digital Song Sales ranking is the immediate bellwether. If BTS's "Normal" fades next frame, "Dai Dai" converts a near-miss into a career-defining third No. 1. The Hot 100 trajectory — already a 25-spot leap in a single week — suggests the single has not yet exhausted its run-up. The larger structural question: whether the World Cup plus catalog synergy sustains Shakira's streaming share through the autumn release window, or whether the lift plateaus once the tournament cycle fully decays. Both BTS and Shakira are now positioned to track each other on the sales chart for the next several frames.
