Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” Remix ft. Justin Bieber Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” Remix ft. Justin Bieber
Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee‘s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, leads the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated July 29) for a landmark 10th week. Plus, Ed Sheeran‘s “Shape of You” ties the record for the most weeks logged in the top five and Shawn Mendes adds his third top 10, “There’s Nothing Holdin’ Me Back.” “Despacito” (released on Universal Music Latino / Raymond Braun / SchoolBoy / Def Jam / UMLE / Republic Records) becomes just the 35th single to top the Hot 100 for at least 10 weeks, dating to the chart’s Aug. 4, 1958, inception; only 3 percent of the Hot 100’s 1,065 total No. 1s have reached double-digit weeks at the summit.
“Despacito” is the longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 since Sheeran’s “Shape,” which ruled for 12 weeks in January through April. The record? Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” led for 16 weeks, in 1995-96.
“Despacito” dominates the Digital Song Sales chart for an 11th week, with 124,000 downloads sold (down 3 percent) in the week ending July 13, according to Nielsen Music; the remix with Bieber accounts for 77 percent of the song’s sales (just off its 78 percent share a week ago and in line with its breakdown in recent weeks). On the Streaming Songs chart, “Despacito” leads for a 10th week, with 60.3 million U.S. streams (down 2 percent) in the week ending July 13.
“Despacito” again tops all three of the Hot 100’s main component charts, as it also leads the all-format Radio Songs chart for a second week with 145 million in all-format airplay audience (down 3 percent) in the week ending July 16. A week ago, the collab made history as the first predominantly Spanish-language song (or any song not sung primarily in English) to top Radio Songs, dating to the chart’s 1990 origin.
“Despacito” commands the Hot Latin Songs chart for a 24th week and the Songs of the Summer ranking for a sixth week, having led the latter list each week since it made its annual return just after Memorial Day.
Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s ‘Despacito’ has already broken numerous records worldwide and continues to do so with becoming the most streamed song across music streaming platforms. The track by Puerto Rican artists and the remix by the sensational Justin Bieber has surpassed the previous record holder ‘Sorry’ which had earlier crossed 4.38 billion plays across platforms.
Despacito is now the most streamed song of All Time!
