Making good on early predictions, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber)” retains the #1 spot on this week’s Billboard Hot 100.
In doing so, “Despacito” scores a sixteenth week on top — and ties the record for longest reign in Hot 100 history.
Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men’s 90s hit “One Sweet Day” also spent sixteen weeks at #1.
With Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do” set to takeover #1, “Despacito” will not be able to break the record next week. With activity quickly fading, “Despacito” will also have a tough time returning to #1 on a subsequent chart.
But while a 17th week may be out of the question, the 16th week is official.
