Bad Bunny’s “DtMF” hits No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the superstar’s second leader on the list, and first on his own. He previously reigned with “I Like It,” with Cardi B and J Balvin, for a week in July 2018.
“DtMF” blitzes 10-1 on the Hot 100 following Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime show spotlight Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, Calif., with “DtMF” the closing song in the set.
The Spanish-language “DtMF,” which originally reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 in January 2025, heads up four Bad Bunny songs, all of which he performed at the Super Bowl, in the top 10, with two others likewise from his 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos: “Baile Inolvidable,” which bounds 19-2 for a new high, and “Nuevayol,” up 28-5, also a new best. Plus, “Tití Me Preguntó,” from his 2022 LP Un Verano Sin Ti, reenters the chart at No. 7 (after hitting No. 5 that year).
“DtMF” is the fourth all- or mostly-Spanish-language Hot 100 No. 1, and the first by a soloist and no other billed acts, dating to the chart’s 1958 inception. Here are the elite such leaders:
“DtMF,” Bad Bunny, one week to date, Feb. 21, 2026
“Despacito,” Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, 16 weeks, beginning May 17, 2017
“Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix),” Los Del Rio, 14 weeks, beginning Aug. 3, 1996
“La Bamba,” Los Lobos, three weeks, beginning Aug. 29, 1987
