Jimmy FaillaHOST
I guess that means you vote for us, right? That's what they do.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
Do you remember when Joe Biden was down and he played Despacito when he was running for office? He played Despacito like, hey, Latinos, are you going to vote for me? And he played Despacito.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
And they were just looking at him like, what the hell is wrong with you? Or when Jill Biden went to San Antonio and told them they were a bunch of breakfast tacos who were as unique as the bogadas in the Bronx, except there's only one small problem.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
It's pronounced bodega.
Jimmy FaillaHOST
That's what they do.

Just a bit outside.
Felix ContrerasGUEST
that had everyone's attention.
Felix ContrerasGUEST
What happens between, what is that, 70 years or so? And what happens in between, it's up and down, right? One of the things that, and we say this a lot in the show, but one of the things that made a difference was the popularity of Despacito and how it made the mainstream come over to the Latin side and then build from there, right? That was a significant moment as well.
Felix ContrerasGUEST
That's where we are with this moment.
Felix ContrerasGUEST
It's one of the ways that People can relate to one another, whether you're within the cultures or outside of the cultures.

Ah.
PanchoHOST
He was featured on DJ Khaled's hit titled I'm the One, alongside Chance the Rapper, Quavo, and Lil Wayne.
PanchoHOST
song debuted at number one on the billboard hot 100 proving that justin bieber's star power was still undeniable and of course we can't talk about his insane feature run in 2017 without mentioning the biggest song of that year that's right i'm talking about none other than despacito by early 2017 song was gaining massive traction online appearing in memes topping the billboard charts and earning all sorts of accolades so for an artist like louise fonci it was a dream come true but a little did he know his year was about to get even bigger Because it was announced that Justin Bieber would feature on the remix of Despacito, which meant another massive win for the Latin artist behind the song.
PanchoHOST
And when it finally dropped, everyone lost their minds.
PanchoHOST
Thanks to his involvement, the track went on to spend a record-breaking 16 weeks at number one.
PanchoHOST
However, not everything was smooth sailing.
PanchoHOST
If you know Justin, you could probably guess what was coming next, right? Well...
PanchoHOST
Justin once again found himself at the center of controversy, this time over Despacito, the very song he helped push to number one.
PanchoHOST
You see, a video surfaced of him at a party singing the lyrics in a way many found racially insensitive and offensive, quickly sparking backlash online.
JosephHOST
oh i'm upset because it used to take a lot for a song to be number one for such a long amount of time and it feels like it's happening a lot more frequent that like someone's beating someone or like this and that because i'll give you a little one sweet day by um mariah carey and boys to men was the longest for 16 weeks and then like harry styles morgan wallen and i think either.
JosephHOST
I think Despacito like all reached 16.
JosephHOST
That way, but I'm curious with
DamarisGUEST

Karl VatersGUEST
Number two, Despacito, is 9 billion views, which means it has almost twice as many views as the next highest video.
Karl VatersGUEST
N- nobody else is above 10, and they're at almost 17.
Mike SchooleyHOST
Hm.
Karl VatersGUEST
Despacito is at 9.
Karl VatersGUEST
So there's one massively viral video, the most viral, and then it drops real fast to 10 billion, to, to 9 billion, and then it drops real quick to four or five of them, all of them for preschoolers, just like Baby Shark, all from Cocomelon, it seems, for some reason.
Tim MediraHOST
