As is often the case, Bad Bunny is in charge of the Hot Latin Songs chart this week. The superstar is almost always in control of Billboard's ranking of the biggest Spanish-language tracks in the United States, as he is far and away one of the most successful names in Latin music history.
As Bad Bunny earns another turn in first place with 'DTMF,' he makes history with his hugely popular track.
'DTMF' Reaches 30 Weeks at No. 1
'DTMF' holds at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart for its thirtieth nonconsecutive frame. Bunny's cut is just the fourth in history to rack up that many stays atop the most important Latin tally published by Billboard.
Bad Bunny Joins Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Enrique Iglesias
Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber hold the all-time record, as the remix of 'Despacito,' which saw the Canadian pop star joining the Latin powerhouses, led the charge on the Hot Latin Songs chart for 56 weeks. Enrique Iglesias, Descemer Bueno, and Gente de Zona kept 'Bailando' at No. 1 for 41 frames.
Iglesias claims two of the four biggest No. 1s of all time on the Hot Latin Songs tally, as his collaboration with Nicky Jam, 'El Perdón,' also managed 30 stays at the summit.
Bad Bunny May Soon Pass Enrique Iglesias
'DTMF' is performing well across a variety of metrics, and there's a great chance that it will earn a thirty-first turn at No. 1 next week. If it does, Bunny will break his tie with Jam and Iglesias and solely claim the third-longest-running champion of all time on the Hot Latin Songs tally – but he still has months to go before he ties for second place.
Bad Bunny's 16 No. 1 Smashes
'DTMF' is one of Bunny's 16 No. 1s on the Hot Latin Songs chart, and it's his longest-ruling track. Taken from his most recent album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, it earned that distinction about a month ago when it broke out of a tie with 'Dákiti,' a collaboration with Jhay Cortez, which lived at No. 1 for 27 frames.
A Top 10 Hit Across Several Billboard Charts
At the moment, 'DTMF' appears on four of Billboard's Latin rankings, and it's a huge hit across all of them. In addition to the Hot Latin Songs chart, 'DTMF' also leads the Hot Latin Rhythm Songs ranking again. Bunny keeps his cut at No. 2 on both the Latin Streaming Songs and Latin Digital Song Sales rosters as well.
