It's been five years since LuisFonsi & daddy_yankee's 'Despacito' featuring justinbieber hit No. 1 on the Hot100, where it remained for 16 straight weeks. Go behind-the-scenes of the groundbreaking hit ahead of its billboardcharts anniversary.
That alone was historic. “Despacito” is only the third track predominantly in Spanish to ever top the Hot 100; the other two were “La Bamba” , and the Bayside Boys remix of “Macarena” by Los del Río in 1996.But “Despacito” didn’t just reach the top spot on the all-genre chart. It stayed there. And stayed. And stayed.
On the eve of its anniversary, we revisit our conversations with writers Fonsi, Yankee and Erika Ender; producers Mauricio Torres and Andrés Rengifo; executives Jesús López, Monte Lipman and Scooter Braun; and Bieber’s Spanish-language coach, Juan Felipe Samper.[The day I wrote it] I woke up with ‘Des-Pa-Ci-to’ in my head. It was so loud and clear that I had to research if this was already a song I might’ve heard before.
