On its 7th day available to the public, ‘DtMF’, the title track from Bad Bunny’s outstanding new album (it’s an acronym for “I should have shot more photos”), has risen to number 1 on Spotify Global. It thus surpasses the streams of Bruno Mars’ two hits of the moment – the one he has with Lady Gaga and the one he has with ROSÉ -, and the viral one by Gracie Abrams, especially unstoppable in the United Kingdom.
What didn’t even seem like a single from this Bad Bunny album has consolidated itself among the public’s preferences, perhaps because of its festive and choral nature, perhaps because of a TikTok trend in which people share photos and memories. Thus, it rises to number 1 globally, after having had a very modest entry in position 92 in Spotify Global, with the hours of the first day.
He rose to 18th place on his first full day and since then his trajectory has been unstoppable. Right now it is adding 11.5 million daily streams on Spotify alone: almost nothing. And all this without the support of Today’s Top Hits, where they have opted for the salsa of ‘Unforgettable Dance’.
This is Bad Bunny’s 7th Global No. 1, always talking about the leading platform, Spotify. The first happened in October 2018. Do you remember that the artist collaborated with Drake? ‘MIA’ was number 1 on Spotify Global in what we could associate at that time with the virtues of the Canadian. Right now Drake would kill for a viral the size of ‘DtMF’.
‘Dákiti’ with JHAYCO in November 2020 was Bad Bunny’s second number 1 on Spotify Global and remains his most listened to song, with 2 billion streams. In 2023 came ‘Un x100to’ with Grupo Frontera, ‘Moscow Mule’ taken from ‘A summer without you’ and ‘WHERE SHE GOES’ from ‘Nobody knows what’s going to happen tomorrow’. Also ‘Mónaco’ from this penultimate album was number 1 on Spotify Global.
In addition, Bad Bunny has been at number 2 in the Global ranking a few times: with ‘La noche de noche’ with Rosalía, his participation in ‘I Like It’ by Cardi B (also with J Balvin), or ‘Me porto bonito’ .
