Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, crowns the Billboard Hot 100 (dated May 27), becoming the first mostly-Spanish language song to hit No. 1 since Los Del Rio's "Macarena" in 1996. It also makes Bieber the first artist ever to notch new Hot 100 No. 1s in back-to-back weeks, as it dethrones DJ Khaled's "I'm the One," featuring Bieber (and three other guests), which debuted at the summit last week.
Plus, Logic debuts atop the Billboard 200 albums chart with Everybody and Chris Stapleton rules the Billboard Artist 100 thanks largely to his new album, From A Room: Volume 1.
