Luis Fonsi – Despacito featuring Daddy Yankee

Despacito's ascension to the top of this list in 2017 shows two key aspects of YouTube. To begin with, it demonstrates that YouTube's popularity is ever-increasing. There was a period when no one anticipated Gangnam Style would be surpassed.

It also shows how YouTube has grown into a global phenomenon. The song Despacito, which means "Slowly" in Spanish, was written by Luis Fonsi and includes Daddy Yankee, a Puerto Rican rapper. Both musicians play the song in the La Perla neighborhood of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, and at the local bar La Factora in the music video.

The song reached number one in 47 countries and number ten in ten more. It was the first time in 20 years that a Spanish song has reached the top of the Billboard 100.

Despacito became the first video on YouTube to reach the three and four billion viewing marks. In August 2017, it surpassed See You Again to become the all-time most popular video on YouTube.
