After claiming the record for the most streamed song ever, Spanish song “Despacito” becomes the most watched video on YouTube, ever! The song by Luis Fonsi,
featuring reggaeton king Daddy Yankee, beat Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s Fast and Furious anthem “See You Again” which took over the title from the long-time favourite, “Gangnam Style” last month.
Although some are more familiar with Justin Beiber‘s remix of the song, the video for the original version of the song sits at the top spot on YouTube with over 3 billion views.
It’s as dominant of a summer single as we’re likely to see, and at least one of its singers doesn’t know the words.
At the end of May, Bieber was filmed performing at New York club 1 OAK, when “Despacito” came on. Instead of singing along properly, he ad libbed lyrics like “blah blah blah” (sort of funny) and “I just want a burrito” (hmmm, pretty racist). Yesterday, footage emerged from his performance at Sweden’s Summerfest, where Bieber said he couldn’t perform the song because he didn’t know it. A water bottle was thrown at his head for the disclosure.
