ResponderBorrarI've heard this song before and i really like it. But it's amazing that this is the first mostly Spanish-language song to claim the spot since the “Macarena” in 1996. ~ Desiree Partida P1

I think it's crazy how despacito's popularity is comparable to the macarena and how if Justin Bieber never picked up interest in the song, it wouldn't be apart of mainstream American media

ResponderBorrarEs muy asombrosa como la cancion de espanol era muy pouplar en lugar donde gente no hablan espanol. A tambien, yo me gusta mucha voz de Justin Bieber.
¿Por qué es Justin Bieber muy popular? Su musica es mal.
