"DESPACITO" SASHAYS TO NEW SALES PLATEAU

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's Justin Bieber-augmented "Despacito" (UMLE/RBMG/Def Jam/Republic) will this week notch its 13th consecutive week as the #1-selling single in the land (and its 14th overall).

The mega-smash has sold 2m total, and has garnered 335m audio streams, earning a song SPS tally of 4.2m.

It's also on track to suprass Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," which occupied the top spot for 11 weeks and has a song SPS total of 4.8m, in a matter of weeks.

"Despacito" (original version) was also recently crowned the top-viewed video on YouTube, having amassed more than 3 billion views.

Here's a fun game: See if you can guess, in the chart below, where the Bieber remix appeared.
