The hit summer dance song Despacito has become the most streamed song of all time. It now has more than 4.6 billion plays across major streaming services. It passed Justin Bieber’s 2015 song Sorry this week to break the all-time record. Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi and rap singer Daddy Yankee released Despacito in January. They later released a version that included Justin Bieber. The remixed song helped increase its popularity in several English-speaking countries, including the United States. Despacito, which means “slowly” in Spanish, is also now the most successful Spanish-language pop song of all time.
