Luis Fonsi - Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee (Official Music Video) Most viewed vedeo on Youtube

Despacito’s
rise to the top of this list in 2018, demonstrates two essential points
about YouTube. Firstly, it shows that YouTube’s popularity is forever
increasing. There was a time when nobody thought that anybody would
overtake Gangnam Style.




It also demonstrates how YouTube is now a global phenomenon. Despacito,
which is Spanish for “Slowly,” is sung in Spanish by Puerto Rican
singer Luis Fonsi and also features Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee.
The music video shows both artists performing the song in La Perla
neighborhood of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico and the local bar La Factoría.




The song topped the charts of 47
countries and entered the Top 10 in ten others. It was the first song to
top the Billboard 100 in Spanish in 20 years.




Interestingly, Justin Bieber released
a remix version a few months later, where he sang some lines in
English. While this probably helped the original’s YouTube performance,
it didn’t overtake it or enter the YouTube Most Viewed charts.


Despacito became the first video on YouTube to achieve the milestones of both three and four billion views. It overtook See You Again to take YouTube’s All-time Number 1 spot in August 2018.
