The 2026 World Cup Final halftime show wasn’t just a cultural moment—it was a streaming event that reshuffled the chart landscape overnight. On July 19th, multiple artists across the stage saw their songs spike in impressive ways. Shakira and Burna Boy’s collaboration “Dai Dai,” serving as the official World Cup anthem, claimed the top spot with 979,000 streams and a 25-percent jump from the previous day. The track is already climbing the Hot 100 at number 42, but those numbers suggest it’s destined for much higher placement once the August 1st charts roll around.

What really caught everyone’s attention, though, was Justin Bieber’s acoustic moment. His performance of “Everything Hallelujah” delivered the night’s highest percentage gain at 34 percent, proving that sometimes simplicity trumps production value when you’re performing in front of the world. Beyond the halftime show itself, iShowSpeed’s “Champions” experienced a jaw-dropping 61-percent surge after his pre-game closing ceremony performance, signaling that content creators are seriously becoming viable chart competitors. Even legacy artists got their moment, with Madonna and BTS seeing 6 and 13-percent boosts respectively for their classic hits.

The full impact of these performances will play out over the coming days as Billboard incorporates all the streaming data leading up to the August 1st chart update. For now, one thing’s clear: a global stage plus a major event equals real chart momentum. Which of these performances do you think will have staying power beyond the week?
