There’s no stopping ‘Despacito’.

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s inescapable smash hit has made history, becoming one of the longest-running number ones in the U.S.

‘Despacito’ hit the top spot back in May after Justin Bieber joined for a Spanglish remix, bringing the song to the West after dominating Latin pop.

View the lyrics
Ay (Fonsi, DY)
(Oh, oh) oh, no, oh no (oh)
Hey, yeah, diri-diri-diriridi, Daddy, go!

Sí, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirándote
Tengo que bailar contigo hoy (DY)
Vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome
Muéstrame el camino, que yo voy (oh)

Tú, tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal
Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan
Solo con pensarlo se acelera el pulso (oh, yeah)

Ya, ya me estás gustando más de lo normal
Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más
Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro

Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos, despacito
Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito (sube, sube, sube)
Sube, sube (oh)

Quiero ver bailar tu pelo, quiero ser tu ritmo
Que le enseñes a mi boca tus lugares favoritos
(Favoritos, favoritos, baby)
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro
Hasta provocar tus gritos y que olvides tu apellido

Si te pido un beso, ven, dámelo
Yo sé que estás pensándolo
Llevo tiempo intentándolo
Mami, esto es dando y dándolo
Sabes que tu corazón conmigo te hace bam-bam
Sabes que esa beba está buscando de mi bam-bam

Ven, prueba de mi boca para ver cómo te sabe
Quiero, quiero, quiero ver cuánto amor a ti te cabe
Yo no tengo prisa, yo me quiero dar el viaje
Empezamos lento, después salvaje

Pasito a pasito, suave, suavecito
Nos vamos pegando poquito a poquito
Cuando tú me besas con esa destreza
Veo que eres malicia con delicadeza

Pasito a pasito, suave, suavecito
Nos vamos pegando poquito a poquito
Y es que esa belleza es un rompecabezas
Pero pa' montarlo, aquí tengo la pieza, oye

Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito (sube, sube, sube)
Sube, sube (oh)

Quiero ver bailar tu pelo, quiero ser tu ritmo
Que le enseñes a mi boca tus lugares favoritos
(Favoritos, favoritos, baby)
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro
Hasta provocar tus gritos y que olvides tu apellido

Despacito
Vamo' a hacerlo en una playa en Puerto Rico
Hasta que las olas griten: "¡ay, Bendito!"
Para que mi sello se quede contigo (báilalo)

Pasito a pasito, suave, suavecito
Nos vamos pegando poquito a poquito
Que le enseñes a mi boca tus lugares favoritos
(Favoritos, favoritos, baby)

Pasito a pasito, suave, suavecito
Nos vamos pegando poquito a poquito
Hasta provocar tus gritos y que olvides tu apellido (DY)
Despacito

It spends its 16th week at number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 this week, tying a 21-year record held by Mariah Carey.

The legendary diva made history with ‘One Sweet Day’, her timeless collaboration with Boyz II Men, when it ruled the charts for 16 weeks back in 1995.

A few artists have came close since then but no one ever passed the 14 week mark, including Mariah herself when her 2005 hit ‘We Belong Together’ ended its reign after 14 weeks.

This is a massive deal in itself but a HUGE moment for Latin music, with Fonsi saying, “This is historic! Thank you guys for all your support.”

The original is the most watched video on YouTube with over 3.4 BILLION views, while the Bieber remix has over half a billion views.

It’s also the world’s most streamed song of all the with 4.6 billion streams. This song’s success is just mind-blowing.

So, will Luis Fonsi and co. beat Mariah and set a new record of 17 weeks?

Billboard report that’s very unlikely now that Taylor Swift has returned, but I guess we’ll wait and see…
