The feat comes after the Latin superstar’s historic run at the 2026 Grammys and Super Bowl halftime show

Bad Bunny‘s winning streak continues. The Puerto Rican superstar has officially received his first solo Number One song atop the Billboard Hot 100 with the nostalgic plena track “DtMF.” Previously, Bad Bunny topped the charts in 2018 as a featured artist on Cardi B’s “I Like It.” Since then, he has earned 14 top ten entries, becoming the Latin act with the most on the chart.

The achievement comes after Bad Bunny’s doubly historic week where he became the first artist to the win the Album of the Year Grammy for a Spanish-language album and first to deliver a full Super Bowl halftime headlining show in Spanish. Last week, “DtMF” re-entered the Hot 100 at number ten as Bad Bunny’s entire catalog saw streaming surges across platforms following his back-to-back triumphs.

“DtMF” reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 when it was released as part of Benito’s genre-defying opus Debí Tirar Más Fotos back in January 2025. Bad Bunny also has three other songs in the top 10 this week, including “Baile Inolvidable,” “Nuevayol,” and his 2022 hit “Tití Me Preguntó.”

According to Luminate, his music received 99.6 million on-demand U.S. streams on Feb. 9, the day after the Super Bowl, which marked a 175 percent increase from the previous week. That increase came after a 117 percent increase on Feb. 2 after the 2026 Grammys. “DtMF” was Bad Bunny’s most-streamed song in the U.S. on Feb. 9 with 10.4 million streams, per Luminate.

Sonically, “DtMF” puts a modern twist on lively plena, a Puerto Rican folk call-and-response genre, and marks the first plena song to top the Hot 100. It’s also one of the most evocative songs in Benito’s discography as he looks back on the past, and regrets not taking more photos to commemorate those moments. It’s also a plea to live in the present and cherish life while you still can.

“Sometimes there are these moments I live through, and I enjoy them, but I didn’t take any photos,” Bad Bunny said in his Rolling Stone Interview last year. He added of the album title and song, “It has a lot of meaning in terms of wishing I had seized certain moments. That’s the idea: enjoying the moment when I could and valuing memories.”
