燕山大学 刘立军 编写
◆TRANSCRIPT
Up until now, Justin Bieber claimed the most streamed song of all time with his 2015 hit 'Sorry': "Is it too late now to say sorry?"
That record now belongs to Puerto Rican artists Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee for what some call the "Song of the Summer"... "Despacito" now most streamed track of all time with more than 4.6 billion plays since its premier in January.
That song has been at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for more than 10 weeks. Bieb's shouldn't be too concerned, he's featured in the remix, which helped bring those big numbers.
