The tally ranks the songs that rack up the most audio streams in the U.K. across both subscription and ad-supported platforms, and it does not incorporate purchases. In its fourth frame on the 100-space list, \u201cDai Dai\u201d bolts into the highest tier for the first time. <\/p>\n<p>Shakira Had Already Hit the Top 40 With Multiple Singles<\/p>\n<p>Shakira had sent five tunes to the Official Streaming chart before \u201cDai Dai\u201d arrived, but none came close to reaching the top 10. Her previous best showing came thanks to \u201cBZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53,\u201d her collaboration with Bizarrap, which pushed to No. 26 in early 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Only one other song by the Colombian superstar had previously cracked the top 40. \u201cLa La La,\u201d a team-up with Carlinhos Brown, rose to No. 31 more than a decade ago. \u201cDai Dai\u201d now stands almost 20 spaces above where both of those smashes peaked. <\/p>\n<p>Shakira First Charted on the Streaming List in 2014<\/p>\n<p>Shakira first appeared on the Official Streaming chart in July 2014, when two tracks debuted in the same week. <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o3mP3mJDL2k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o3mP3mJDL2k\" aria-label=\"\u201cCan\u2019t Remember to Forget You,\u201d\">\u201cCan\u2019t Remember to Forget You,\u201d<\/a> her duet with Rihanna, launched at No. 94, while \u201cLa La La\u201d climbed much higher.<\/p>\n<p>Half of Shakira\u2019s six hits on the streaming-only ranking have debuted in 2026. \u201cZoo,\u201d which she recorded for Zootopia 2, reached the roster in January and eventually pushed its way to No. 66. \u201cWaka Waka (This Time for Africa)\u201d with Freshlyground finally reached the tally in June, more than a decade and a half after it became a global hit, and now \u201cDai Dai\u201d marks her third placement this year. <\/p>\n<p>Burna Boy Has Already Scored Several Streaming Top 10s<\/p>\n<p>While Shakira lands inside the streaming chart\u2019s top 10 for the first time, Burna Boy has visited the region on several occasions. He nearly ruled the Official Streaming roster with \u201cOwn It,\u201d his collaboration with Stormzy and Ed Sheeran, which stopped lifting at No. 2. The Nigerian musician also reached the highest tier with \u201cLast Last,\u201d which peaked at No. 4, and \u201cLocation\u201d with Dave, which topped out at No. 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDai Dai\u201d Nears the Main Songs Chart\u2019s Top 10<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDai Dai\u201d also improves its standing and hits a new peak on the Official Singles chart, the main songs ranking in the U.K., which combines audio and video streams with downloads and purchases on physical formats. The track leaps from No. 18 to No. 13, putting Shakira and Burna Boy only a few spaces away from the top 10. <\/p>\n<p>PARIS, FRANCE &#8211; APRIL 18: Burna Boy performs live on stage at Stade de France on April 18, 2025 in Paris, France.
