Dai Dai is now the first @FIFAWorldCup song ever to be a global number one.
Writing it alongside @edsheeran has been a very full circle moment for me. It’s also hard to express my excitement around everything we’ve been working on the past few months together🤌🏻
Thank you to @shakira and @burnaboy as well.
World Cup hit song Dai Dai climbs to #1 on Spotify's daily global chart, marking two major milestones.
At 49, Shakira extends her own record as the oldest artist ever to top the ranking with new material, improving on the mark she set at 46 with TQG.
Meanwhile, Burna Boy becomes the FIRST African artist to reach #1 with a lead credit.
🚨 | 'Dai Dai' by Shakira & Burna Boy rises to a new peak of #1(+1) on the Global Spotify chart 🌎 with 4.215M filtered streams!!!! 👑🔥🔥
Burna Boy becomes the first and only African artist in history to reach #1 on the Global Spotify Daily Top Songs Chart 😭🐐❤️
JUST IN: BURNA BOY [46.8M] HAS NOW OFFICIALLY SURPASSED TYLA [46.58M] AND SETS A NEW RECORD FOR THE MOST MONTHLY LISTENERS EVER RECORDED BY AN AFRICAN ARTIST IN SPOTIFY HISTORY. THE GREATEST! 🐐
“Burna Boy calls himself the Giant of Africa, but I think Davido deserves that title
Whenever there’s a protest, he’s one of the first to speak out. He also creates job opportunities for Africans.
During his Puma campaign, he even flew his team from Nigeria to America”
