It will surprise no one that “Despacito” is this summer’s most listened-to track, with 786m+ streams worldwide thus far, according to Spotify’s just-released Global and U.S. Songs of the Summer lists.
“2017 gave us the summer of Latin music,” said Rocio Guerrero, Spotify’s Head of Latin Culture, over a polyrhythmic drum roll. “For the first time ever, we have seven Latin songs on Spotify’s global chart, including both the original and remix of ‘Despacito,’ this summer’s undisputed anthem. Another huge success has been Danny Ocean, one of Spotify’s emerging Latin artists, who has racked up more than 318m streams with ‘Me Rehúso.’”
