Well a rendition of Despacito, featuring pop sensation Justin Bieber has become the first Spanish-dominated track to have hit the top spot on the US Billboard Top 100 after 1996.

According to The Atlantic, more than 20 years ago, Macarena by Los Del Rio, was the last Spanish-dominated number that had clinched the top spot.

Many attribute the success of Despacito to Justin Bieber's English portions in it, but nothing can take away the credit from the catchy reggaeton beat the track boasts of.

Despacito literally translates to "slowly" in Spanish and is a groovy number which is also historic and addictive in the truest sense of the word. Don't believe us? Try giving it a listen.
