AceShowbiz - Bad Bunny has tied a monumental record on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart with his hit "DtMF," reaching a 56th week at No. 1 as of the April 25 chart. This achievement matches the longstanding record set by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, which previously dominated the chart for 56 weeks during 2017-18.

"Despacito" was a groundbreaking collaboration that revolutionized the Latin music scene, becoming the longest-running No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart since its inception in 1986. Now, Bad Bunny's "DtMF" is following in those footsteps by equaling that historic run.

Despite a slight 4% decrease in streams during the tracking week ending April 16, "DtMF" still logged an impressive 8.9 million streams in the United States. The song moved from No. 19 to No. 29 on the overall Streaming Songs chart but maintained its No. 1 position on the Latin Streaming Songs chart for the 42nd consecutive week.

Sales figures also show a modest decline, with less than 1,000 downloads sold—a 2% drop from the previous week. Nonetheless, this was enough to keep "DtMF" at No. 1 on the Latin Digital Song Sales chart for its 15th week.

One factor helping "DtMF" sustain its reign is a slight increase in radio airplay, contributing to its continued No. 1 status on Hot Latin Songs. The song’s ability to maintain such dominance highlights Bad Bunny's immense popularity and the song’s widespread appeal.

Here are the top five songs with the most weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart since 1986:

• Despacito – Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber: 56 weeks (peak Feb. 18, 2017)
• DtMF – Bad Bunny: 56 weeks (peak Jan. 25, 2025)
• Bailando – Enrique Iglesias feat. Descemer Bueno & Gente de Zona: 41 weeks (peak May 17, 2014)
• El Perdón – Nicky Jam & Enrique Iglesias: 30 weeks (peak March 21, 2015)
• Dákiti – Bad Bunny & Jhay Cortez: 27 weeks (peak Nov. 14, 2020)

As Bad Bunny's "DtMF" now shares the record with "Despacito," the question remains whether Bad Bunny will surpass the milestone to hold the record solely. Fans and industry watchers can look forward to the next Billboard update for the latest on this chart battle.
