Nigerian singer Damini Ogulu, popularly known as Burna Boy, has become the first male artiste to top Spotify’s newly launched Global Music Video Chart.

Burna Boy achieved the milestone with ‘Dai Dai’, his 2026 FIFA World Cup collaboration with Colombian singer Shakira. The song also made him the first African artiste to reach the top of the chart.

The achievement adds to the song’s growing success, with ‘Dai Dai’ climbing to a new peak of No. 13 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 chart.

The song is projected to enter the top 10 next week following Burna Boy and Shakira’s World Cup Final Halftime Show performance on Sunday.

‘Dai Dai’ remains the most-streamed music video of 2026 on YouTube with almost half a billion views. The song also recently peaked at number 1 on Apple Music Global Songs Charts.

Following the success of the song, Burna Boy extended his record as the African artist with the most monthly listeners in Spotify’s history with over 53 million monthly listeners.

He also set a new record as the African artist with the most monthly listeners on YouTube Music with over 600 million monthly listeners.
