Today’s thread is brought to you by the number 14.
“Despacito” by Louis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee (remix featuring Justin Bieber) spends its 14th week at the top of the Hot 100. That’s the longest any song has spent at the top of that chart in 2017 and ties for the longest a primarily non-English song has topped the chart (tying the “Macarena”). Our new entry this week is Cardi B becoming the first female Rapper to reach the top 10 with a debut single since Iggy’s “Fancy” (and some would argue she doesn’t count). Cardi’s song is “Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)” and it moved 28% more streams this week than last. Sam Hunt leaves the top 10 to make room for her.
