'Despacito' Now Tied for Most Weeks at No. 1 in History
Latest
The Billboard charts, regardless of what you think about their relevance in an increasingly streaming/inscrutable musical climate, are at least very good at indicating massive hits. And Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber’s “Despacito” has gone beyond big fat hit to cultural phenomenon (quite possibly the biggest hit song of all time, in fact, according to chart expert Chris Molanphy). This week, it ties with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s ode to friends we lost along the way, “One Sweet Day,” to become the longest-running No. 1 in Billboard Hot 100 history as it spends its 16th week on the summit.
