Bad Bunny’s “DTMF” has officially matched the monumental record set by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito,” featuring Justin Bieber, claiming its 56th week at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart, dated April 25. This achievement places both tracks in an exclusive tie for the longest command in the chart’s nearly four-decade history.

“Despacito” had a groundbreaking impact on the Latin market, particularly after the release of its remix with Justin Bieber. It dominated the Hot Latin Songs chart for an unparalleled 56 weeks between 2017 and 2018, establishing a new benchmark for longevity on the multi-metric ranking since its inception in 1986, and marking a pivotal moment in the global Latin music scene.

Today, Bad Bunny’s “DTMF” is replicating this historic success. Despite experiencing slight declines in streams and digital sales during the tracking week ending April 16, the song's strong radio airplay contributed to its ability to maintain the No. 1 position for a 56th consecutive week. “DTMF” registered 8.9 million streams in the United States, a 4% dip from the previous week, and slid from 19th to 29th on the overall Streaming Songs chart. However, it successfully held its No. 1 spot on Latin Streaming Songs for an impressive 42nd week. In terms of sales, the track sold just under 1,000 downloads, a 2% decrease, yet it remained at No. 1 on the Latin Digital Song Sales chart for a 15th week.

With “DTMF” now tied with “Despacito” for the most weeks at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs, here’s a look at the five songs with the longest runs at the top since the chart’s inception in 1986:

• “Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee, featuring Justin Bieber: 56 weeks (Peak Date: Feb. 18, 2017)
• “DTMF,” Bad Bunny: 56 weeks (Peak Date: Jan. 25, 2025)
