This week’s Billboard Hot 100 formalizes a seemingly obvious notion: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito (featuring Justin Bieber)” is still the hottest song in America.
The global smash tops an eleventh straight edition of the US Billboard Hot 100.
The Hot 100 ranks songs based on combined activity from sales, streams and radio airplay; “Despacito” is a behemoth in all three categories.
In terms of overall activity, it maintains a mammoth lead over DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts (featuring Rihanna & Bryson Tiller),” which is #2 on this week’s Hot 100.
