Bad Bunny Gets First Solo No. 1

Bad Bunny has landed his first solo No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "DtMF," a major milestone after previously topping the chart as a featured artist. The single's climb took more than a year after its initial debut.

- The song’s ascent to the top was fueled by his performance as the closing number of the Super Bowl LX halftime show, which drew an average of 128.2 million viewers, making it the fourth most-watched halftime show in history. - In the week following the Super Bowl, "DtMF" earned 43 million U.S. streams, which was the largest streaming week for any song in 2026 at the time and the best weekly figure for a non-English-language track in the decade. - "DtMF" is the title track from the album *Debí Tirar Más Fotos*, which made history just weeks before the Super Bowl by becoming the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. - The track is only the fourth predominantly Spanish-language song to ever reach No. 1 in the Hot 100's history, following "La Bamba" (1987), "Macarena" (1996), and "Despacito" (2017). - Before its post-Super Bowl surge, the song had initially peaked at No. 2 upon its release in January 2025. - Bad Bunny's prior chart-topper was not a solo effort; he previously hit No. 1 as a featured artist on Cardi B's 2018 single "I Like It," alongside J Balvin. - The week "DtMF" hit No. 1, Bad Bunny held four of the top ten positions on the Hot 100, with "Baile Inolvidable" at No. 2, "Nuevayol" at No. 5, and the 2022 track "Tití Me Preguntó" re-entering at No. 7.
