Although the world is still loving the Justin Bieber remix to ‘Despacito’, the original Spanish-language song from Luis Fonsi, featuring Daddy Yankee, has finally taken the crown as the most-watched video on YouTube.
On Friday, “Despacito” beat out Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s Fast and Furious anthem “See You Again” for the top spot with 3.017 billion views. “See You Again” had a brief reign, having taken over from the long-time favorite “Gangnam Style” just last month.
In July, it nabbed the title as most-streamed song of all time, with more than 4.6 billion streams on combined platforms.
While some Americans may be more familiar with the Justin Bieber remix of the track, the original still reigns supreme in streaming and on YouTube. The music video was first posted to the platform in January 2017, and has enjoyed steady popularity ever since.
The steamy, dance-filled music video takes place in Puerto Rico, the original home of both Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. The song, meanwhile, is now in its twelfth week at the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
