Bad Bunny's 'DTMF' Hits 70 Weeks at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs

Bad Bunny keeps his iron grip on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart as 'DTMF' celebrates a stunning 70th week at the top spot.

Bad Bunny's 'DTMF' Hits 70 Weeks at No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs

Seven decades. That's how long Bad Bunny's "DTMF" has been sitting at the summit of the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart — and as of the week of August 1, 2026, it shows absolutely no signs of moving. The Puerto Rican superstar isn't just charting; he's rewriting what chart dominance looks like in the modern Latin music era.

Seventy Weeks and Counting

According to Billboard, "DTMF" — the lead single from Bad Bunny's critically embraced album Debí Tirar Más Fotos — has now logged an extraordinary 70 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. To put that in perspective, that's nearly a year and a half of uninterrupted chart leadership from a single track, a feat that cements the song as one of the most dominant Latin hits in Billboard history. The milestone is the kind of number that stops you mid-scroll and demands a double-take.

'Debí Tirar Más Fotos' Takes Over the Top 10

What makes Bad Bunny's current chart run even more jaw-dropping is that "DTMF" isn't working alone. Multiple tracks from Debí Tirar Más Fotos are scattered across the entire Hot Latin Songs top 10 this week, turning the countdown into something close to a personal playlist.

"Nuevayol" holds strong at No. 2, while "Ayúdame" parks at No. 3 — making the top three a clean sweep for the album. "Voy A Llevarte Pa' PR" stays locked at No. 4, and "Beretta (De Los Cerros La Escuela)" lands at No. 5. Rounding out the album's presence in the top half, "Koko" comes in at No. 6, "De Lejitos" at No. 7, "Daño" at No. 8, and "Todo Lo Fue" holds at No. 9. Netón Vega claims the lone non-Bad Bunny slot, parking at No. 10.

That's eight out of ten positions on one of the most competitive charts in the music industry — all from a single album release. The breadth of that kind of chart saturation is almost unprecedented.

An Artist Operating at a Different Altitude

Debí Tirar Más Fotos arrived earlier this year and was immediately celebrated for its rich sonic palette — a deeply personal record that blended reggaetón roots with experimental textures and a love letter to Puerto Rican culture. The album's staying power on the charts is a direct reflection of how deeply it resonated with listeners, not just at release but month after month. It's the rare project that gets louder with time rather than fading into the background noise.

Bad Bunny has always operated on a bigger stage than most. Earlier this year, he made UK stadium history with an electrifying London show, underscoring just how far his cultural reach extends beyond the Spanish-speaking world. The chart numbers are impressive — but they're just the numerical reflection of a live and cultural force that's been building for years.

Of course, not everything in his orbit has been smooth sailing. The artist has had to navigate some turbulent off-stage moments, including a legal battle over an ex-girlfriend's voice memo and a headline-grabbing reggaetón copyright dispute he colorfully described as a "Frankenstein" case. Through it all, the music has remained front and center — and the charts have answered accordingly.

What This Means for Latin Music

The broader story here is what Bad Bunny's chart dominance signals about the health and momentum of Latin music in 2026. When a single album can occupy eight of the top ten positions for weeks on end, it speaks to an audience that is engaged, loyal, and hungry. Other global acts are making waves too — from pop crossovers to genre-blending collabs — but right now, the epicenter of the chart conversation runs directly through San Juan.

Seventy weeks. Eight top-ten slots. One album. The math is staggering, and the story is still being written.
