Despacito
Luis Fonsi
In 2017, 'Despacito' became the first Spanish-language song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100 since "Macarena" in 1996. Its success helped pave the way for more Spanish-language songs to achieve mainstream success on global charts, breaking barriers for Latinx artists in the music industry. The song also earned multiple awards, including four Latin Grammy Awards and three Billboard Music Awards. Its catchy tune and fusion of reggaeton and pop have solidified its place as a cultural phenomenon and a symbol of the growing influence of Latin music worldwide.
