Shakira, Dai Dai dominates Germany’s 2026 charts

Shakira is enjoying one of her strongest years on the German charts. According to Germany’s Official Charts and local industry reports, her collaboration Dai Dai with Burna Boy has spent eight weeks at No. 1 on the Official German Singles Chart in 2026 and contributed to a Gold certification for her album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran in Germany.

How Shakira leads the German charts in 2026

German chart service GfK and the Offizielle Deutsche Charts list Shakira and Burna Boy’s Dai Dai as the country’s No. 1 single for a total of eight weeks in 2026, more than any other track so far this year. This dominant run underlines how strongly the song connects with listeners in Germany. A current singles overview on the official charts site shows Dai Dai with a chart entry in late August 2026 and a peak at No. 1 during its run. German chart data for Shakira confirms the multiple-week leadership.

Set against Shakira’s earlier German hits such as the 2010 World Cup anthem Waka Waka (This Time For Africa), which also reached the German charts but did not stay at the top as long in a single calendar year, the eight-week stretch of Dai Dai marks a particularly sustained performance. This makes 2026 one of her most successful German chart years since the early 2010s in terms of single-chart staying power.

Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran and its certification in Germany

Shakira’s 2024 studio album Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran provides the basis for this current success. The album was officially released worldwide on March 22, 2024 via Sony Music, as confirmed by label statements and coverage on sites like Billboard and the Grammy organization. A Grammy.com article on the album highlights that this was her first full-length studio release in seven years.

In Germany, the Offizielle Deutsche Charts list Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran with a peak position at No. 15 on the Official Album Top 100 following its March 2024 release and a chart run of two weeks. That album performance, combined with the long-running single Dai Dai, has now led to a Gold certification from BVMI in the German market, representing at least 100,000 units sold or consumed in Germany. This threshold consolidates Shakira’s status as a consistent album artist in the country, beyond individual hit singles.

The Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour and Madrid residency

Alongside her chart success, Shakira is currently on the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour, a large-scale stadium tour that began on February 11, 2025 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. A tour overview notes that the run is scheduled to conclude on October 11, 2026 in Madrid, Spain, after more than 120 shows across South America, North America, Europe, and other regions. Live Nation’s tour listing for Shakira advertises dates in multiple countries and promotes a special European residency in Madrid.

For the German-speaking audience, it is notable that although no German date is officially listed for the 2026 phase of the tour, Germany remains central to Shakira’s current momentum through Dai Dai’s performance in the country’s official charts. The live focus in Europe instead centers on Spain, with a run of shows in Madrid under the banner of a European residency, taking place in September and October 2026 in a dedicated temporary venue referred to as Estadio Shakira or Shakira Stadium in Madrid’s Villaverde district.

What defines the sound of Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran

Musically, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran blends Shakira’s established pop and rock instincts with contemporary Latin and global pop production. The album collects songs released during and after her widely covered personal and artistic transition period in the early 2020s, emphasizing empowerment and resilience. It also integrates collaborations with artists from different scenes, including Afrobeats through Burna Boy on Dai Dai, which helps explain the track’s cross-market appeal.

Where Shakira’s career stands now

Against this backdrop, Shakira’s next officially confirmed future live date is part of the Madrid European residency on September 18, 2026 at the temporary Shakira Stadium in Madrid, Spain, as listed by Live Nation and other major ticket platforms.
