What a blistering run on the Billboard chart...
Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, ties for the second-longest run in the 59-year history of the Billboard Hot 100, leading the list for a 14th week. The track also equals the longest run at No.1 for a primarily non-English language hit, tying the 14-week rule of Los Del Rio's "Macarena" in 1996. "Despacito" additionally matches the mark for the longest stay atop the Streaming Songs chart, also 14 weeks.
It logs the longest lead since Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, reigned for 14 weeks in 2015. Only Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day" has spent more time on top: 16 weeks in 1995-96.
"Despacito" extends its record rule on the Digital Song Sales chart to 15 weeks at No.1, still tops the Streaming Songs chart for a record-tying 14th week, matching the 14-week reign of Desiigner's "Panda" in 2016. On Radio Songs, however, "Despacito" drops to No.2 after five weeks on top, but tallies a 28th week atop the Hot Latin Songs chart and extends its reign on the Songs of the Summer survey to 11 weeks.
"Wild Thoughts" keeps at its No.2 Hot 100 peak for a fifth week while crowning Radio Songs Chart. Rihanna achieves her record-extending 13th Radio Songs No.1, upping her lead over Mariah Carey (11), dating to the chart's 1990 origin, while DJ Khaled and Bryson Tiller each celebrate their first leader on the list. "Wild Thoughts" also leads the Hot R&B Songs chart for a sixth week and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs for a fifth frame.
Does "Wild Thoughts" have a realistic chance of dethroning "Despacito" atop the Hot 100 as soon as next week? Well, we wait to find out!
