Despacito Remix Cover | Republic Records
Last week, DJ Khaled’s “I’m The One (featuring Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper & Lil Wayne)” reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
This week, another song featuring Bieber seizes the throne.
Up two places, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber)” claims #1 on the all-encompassing chart. It is the first predominantly Spanish song to reach #1 since “Macarena” crowned the chart in 1996.
Bieber, meanwhile, becomes the first artist to reach #1 with separate songs on consecutive charts. The Beatles, which previously held the record for least time between new #1 hits (“She Loves You” and “Can’t Buy Me Love”), took three charts to achieve the feat.
The Hot 100 ranks songs based on combined activity from sales, streams and radio airplay. “Despacito” is a major force in the sales and streaming columns, and it is quickly taking flight at radio.
