Bad Bunny has achieved a new milestone in his career, earning his first solo Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 with his nostalgic track “DtMF.”
The Puerto Rican superstar previously topped the chart in 2018 as a featured artist on Cardi B’s hit song “I Like It.” Since then, he has amassed 14 Top 10 entries, becoming the Latin act with the most Top 10 hits in the chart’s history.
The chart-topping achievement follows a landmark week for the artist. At the Grammy Awards, Bad Bunny became the first artist to win Album of the Year for a Spanish-language album. He also made history as the first performer to headline a full Super Bowl halftime show entirely in Spanish.
Streaming numbers surged dramatically following these appearances. According to Luminate data, his catalogue recorded 99.6 million on-demand U.S. streams on February 9 — a 175 percent increase from the previous week. “DtMF” alone garnered 10.4 million streams in a single day.
Originally released in January 2025 as part of his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos, “DtMF” blends modern production with elements of plena, a traditional Puerto Rican folk genre. The song has now become the first plena track to reach Number One on the Hot 100.
Lyrically reflective, “DtMF” explores themes of memory, regret, and living in the present. In earlier interviews, Bad Bunny described the song as a reminder to cherish fleeting moments and value life’s experiences.
With multiple songs currently in the Top 10 — including “Baile Inolvidable,” “Nuevayol,” and his 2022 hit “Tití Me Preguntó” — the artist’s dominance on the charts shows no signs of slowing down.
