Bad Bunny’s song reaches new heights
bad bunny’“DTMF” achieved a new milestone by achieving the number one ranking on Billboard’s Hot 100. Benito previously dated Cardi B and J.J. in July 2018. The song “I Like It” with Balvin reached number one. This is her first single and second overall ranking on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (via board).
At the time of its release in January 2025, “DTMF” almost missed the number one spot, ranking at number two. However, following its Super Bowl success, “DTMF” jumped from number 10 to number 1 on the Hot 100 chart. The 31-year-old now has four songs in the top 10 of the Hot 100.
Benito played “DTMF” as the closing song for his Super Bowl halftime show. She performed all four songs at the Super Bowl.
Interestingly, the Puerto Rican star has performed both of his Hot 100 number-one songs at the Super Bowl. Notably, she guest-starred on “I Like It” during Shakira’s halftime show in 2020.
In simple terms, Benito is currently dominating the Billboard Hot 100 chart. DTMF’s two other songs – “Belle Inolvidable” and “Nuevayol” – placed at numbers 2 and 5 respectively. Additionally, “Titi Me Pregunto”, another song from their 2022 album Un Verano Sin Ti, re-entered the top 10 and sat comfortably at number 7.
Additionally, “DTMF” is the first predominantly Spanish-language Hot 100 number-one led by a solo artist without any collaborations. Other Spanish-language singles include “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee (featuring Justin Bieber), “Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)” by Los del Río, and “La Bamba” by Los Lobos.
According to NBC Sports, Benito’s Super Bowl Halftime Show averaged 128.2 million viewers in the US, a feat making it the third-most watched Super Bowl show in history, and it received mostly positive reactions from fans online. USA Today).
