Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s ‘Despacito’ music video has once again broken another record … 5 BILLION VIEWS ON YOUTUBE!!! 

 

As of right now, ‘Despacito’ is the most watched music video WORLDWIDE.  Next in line is Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s ‘See You Again’, which racked up 3.5 billion views.

 

In an interview with Billboard, Luis Fonsi explained, “The day we shot the video, and I don’t know how many videos I’ve done, you could see the crew and the dancers and everybody enjoying the song.  It was like no other video.  People were dancing on the streets when nobody was filming.  Normally you would get somebody saying, “Can you please shut it off until we go back to filming again?” But here, people were asking to leave it on.  That was the first sign, right there.”

 

And to celebrate the videos success, Luis Fonsi posted this sweet video on the gram, a one-minute video of some of Despacito’s best clips.
