Latin chart-toppers Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, along with their pop superstar collaborator Justin Bieber, are at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart in America this week, which is a slot they have gotten used to owning over the past year or so. While the powerful trio has been in this position many times before, this frame is special, as they have now accomplished something no other musicians have on the genre-specific tally.
"Despacito" has now led the Hot Latin Songs chart for an entire year, which is an incredible feat that no other piece of music has even come close to managing. This week is the international blockbuster's fifty-second in charge of the most important weekly listing of Latin songs in the U.S., though those 52 turns weren't all in a row. J Balvin and Willy Williams' ultra-catchy single "Mi Gente" was performing well for a number of weeks last fall, but it was stuck behind the all-too-powerful "Despacito" until they added a guest to their hit single. Once Beyoncé hopped on a bilingual remixed version of "Mi Gente," it quickly rose to No. 1 for a handful of frames, ending the history-making run "Despacito" was enjoying at the time.
After "Mi Gente" spent some much-deserved time in the spotlight, "Despacito" returned to the throne and has been racking up weeks at No. 1 ever since.
With every spin at the peak "Despacito" collects, the track puts more and more distance between it and the song that used to own the record for the most weeks at No. 1, Enrique Iglesias' "Bailando," which features fellow Latin artists Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona. That song ruled for 41 weeks, which stood as the greatest number of frames at the top for a few years until "Despacito" came along.
Unlike some of the other beloved Spanish cuts that have owned the Hot Latin Songs for lengthy periods of time, "Despacito" also topped the all-genre Hot 100 last year, setting a number of records and making history in a myriad of ways in the process. The 16 weeks it spent atop the most closely-watched songs tally in the country may now seem like nothing compared to the full year it has been in charge of the Latin-only listing, but the two cannot be compared, and "Despacito" has changed both of them in different, but equally important, ways.
