In doing so, it replaced another Justin Bieber track, 2015’s “ Sorry“. It was also reported in mid-2018 that this track was in fact “the most streamed song of all time”. Here, it spent 56 weeks on top of the list. Moreover the official audio attracted 20,000,000 streams within the first 24 hours of being posted onto YouTube. At the time that marked one of the top-five highest debuts for an audio track in the streaming platform’s history.Īlso, perhaps its greatest singular achievement (as far as Americans are concerned at least) is that it actually tied the Billboard Hot 100 all-time record by spending 16 weeks at the top position. And it went on to break the record for most weeks at number one on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart. Even more Accolades grabbed by “Despacito” In doing so, it helped Bieber earn the individual distinction of “ Crossover Artist of the Year“. It also received six 2018 Billboard Latin Music Awards. For instance it was nominated for three Grammys. And it did take home five 2018 Billboard Music Awards including the following: “Despacito (Remix)” went on to earn a plethora of music accolades. This remix came out, via the Universal Music Group and Universal Music Latino, on 17 April 2017. Ultimately it served as the second single from Luis Fonsi’s 2019 album entitled “Vida”. For instance, the government of Malaysia banned the song from being played on state radio. Yet and still, the remix reached number one in that country. However this is not to give the impression that “Despacito” was well-received by everyone. Prior to the “Despacito” remix topping the iconic Hot 100, another song, “I’m the One”, was holding down the number 1 position. That particular track is headlined by DJ Khaled and features Bieber. Thus the Biebs became the first artist in history to have two consecutive, new singles top the Hot 100. In addition to this, it has received Diamond (or better) certification in 6 other nations. Moreover it has gone multi-Platinum in a host of countries. This includes selling 3,000,000 copies in the UK, 13,000,000 in the US. And of course the tune proved comparably-popular in Latin America. “Despacito” was a hit even before Bieber got involved, though not necessarily in the US, UK and other (non-Latin) countries. Afterwards it went on to become one of the most-successful songs in the history of the music industry. For example, it actually reached number 1 in nearly 50 countries. This includes the UK Singles Chart as well as the Billboard Hot 100. This track marks the first time Bieber dropped lyrics in Spanish, although he does sing in English also. Meanwhile, the original “Despacito” is entirely in Spanish. It was Justin Bieber’s own idea to do such a remix to this song. The notion came to him upon a visit to a Colombian nightclub. And witnessing how the crowd reacted to “Despacito” led to him prompting his team to setup a remix. Moreover it was later revealed that Ed Sheeran also wanted to do his own remix to, but Justin beat him to the punch. The original writers of “Despacito” are Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Erika Ender. The remix features additional co-writers Marty James, Poo Bear and of course Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber’s Involvement in “Despacito”
