“Despacito” extends its reign as America’s hottest song.

There is no surprise at the top of this week’s Billboard Hot 100.

Celebrating its twelfth week in the position, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber)” claims #1 on this week’s listing.

The outcome is utterly predictable; the Hot 100 ranks songs based on combined activity from sales, streams and radio airplay, and “Despacito” is a dominant force in all three categories.
