Smash hit “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi has broken yet another record following its three billion views on YouTube, now earning over five billion–the first video in the platform’s history to reach that number.
The official video featuring Daddy Yankee hit the number on Wednesday, making the Spanish-language track more popular than the official audio version featuring Justin Beiber, which currently sits at 617 million views. The track already has six Guinness World Records, and now it has a seventh thanks to those who can’t get enough of the absolute earworm that is Despacito.
Previously Wiz Khalifa‘s “See You Again“ surpassed PSY‘s global hit “Gangnam Style” as the most viewed video in YouTube history before “Despacito” took the crown last summer. The music video was directed by Carlos Perez and shot in San Juan during December 2016.
