Bad Bunny's "DtMF" Reaches No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

Bad Bunny's single "DtMF" has ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking his first solo No. 1 hit. Previously, he reached the top spot as a featured artist on Cardi B's "I Like It" in July 2018. The surge in popularity for "DtMF" can be attributed to his performance during the Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, where it served as the closing song. Following this performance, "DtMF" jumped from No. 10 to No. 1 on the chart, showcasing a significant increase in streaming and airplay.

In the latest chart week, "DtMF" achieved 43 million streams, an increase of 85%, representing the highest weekly streaming figure for any song in 2026 thus far. Additionally, the song garnered 5.3 million airplay audience impressions, up 56%. Bad Bunny also dominated the Hot 100 by securing four out of the top ten slots, with "Baile Inolvidable" at No. 2, "Nuevayol" at No. 5, and "Tití Me Preguntó" at No. 7. This achievement highlights his continued influence in the music industry, particularly for Spanish-language songs, as "DtMF" becomes only the fourth all-Spanish-language track to reach No. 1 on the Hot 100.
