I don't get it. Listened to it a couple weeks ago after what seemed like several weeks of seeing the Despacito meme floating around and not knowing what it was. Just doesn't do anything for me at all.

I understood why Gangnam Style blew up. It was a really catchy tune and really catchy fun song. Psy has a lot of energy and personality. But Despacito just sounds like whatever. Oh well.

 

[Alpende]

It's a nice summer song but hearing it all the damn day on the radio quickly makes it my most hated song of the summer too.

 

[WaffleTaco]

Justin Bieber has a song called Sorry? How Canadian of him.

It's pretty good lol

Oh god I forgot that was a thing. Yeah I'll take Despacito over that trash any day. At least Despacito only plays like once a day, freaking Chainsmokers was played every other song or two much like Ed Sheerans current one.

Great way to make me hate an artist to their very core is force me to hear it twice every 15 minutes if I need to use my car.

Wait for it lol Despacito will happen the same way Closer did. And Closer was a good song though

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Secret best summer song is Riddim Affair by Niska.

 

[Daffy Duck]

I can only imagine this is the Beliebers mistakingly streaming this version instead of Biebers.

I have no idea why this song is so liked. I mean it's catchy yes, but the novelty wore off very quickly.

 

[sappyday]

I hated the song but it was everywhere during my Guatemala trip so it kind of grew on me.

 

[thecouncil]

sounds like it'd be in a Fast & Furious movie.

...

was it?

 

[Biochet]

it's not as good as Closer, but it's still fun

 

[Monocle]

God why? It's bland and annoying. People are stupid.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

God why? It's bland and annoying. People are stupid.

...you have a fucking problem if people are stupid for enjoying this song over your god damn preference.

 

[Schucky Ducky]

I have never heard nor heard of this song. It sounds like I'm not missing much.

 

[Rushersauce]

Shit music is the new trend.

 

[entremet]

Music snobs are hilarious.

 

[Randy Monk]

Not bad for a song about bandits from Puerto Rico

 

[Future]

When I first heard it found it surprisingly good considering Bieber is on the track. Good to know I haven't lost touch with what people like. I'm still cool, y'all

 

[PR_rambo]

PUERTO RICO WE IN THERE

Takin what we can get

 

[Carlius]

reggaeton...i think its the worst kind of music ever created. people just dont seem to realize how much it of it is all about talking crap about women and treating them like objects. I personally dont like the song or the music.

I bought the Bieber version but watch the non-Bieber on youtube. Miss Universe 2006 is just so easy on the eyes

 

[x24hrs2livex]

A bunch of people have bad taste in music, news at 11?

 

[Realeza]

It's so fucking generic lmao. I'd love to see white people dancing to it.

 

[Mr. Robot]

Biebers spanish is pretty decent on that song.

 

[Galang]

Bieber doesn't sound that bad on the song tbh, but I wish the song could have broke the record without him. Would have been cool. Was okay at first, but totally overplayed now as always with hits

 

[Quonny]

It's his best song, imo.

[Servbot24]

I don't really get it. It just sounds like... nothing. It's not catchy at all. I've tried listening to it multiple times, and I always instantly forget what I just listened to. Call Me Maybe or something like that, I could understand.

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

Why is this song so popular? It's fucking terrible! I listen to top 50 songs on Spotify all the time, and constantly seeing this one at number one has me really confused. Obviously you always have those that make you wonder how the hell they get so many plays, but this one seriously has me scratching my head.

 

[His Majesty]

First time I heard about this song. Wonder if I should give it a click.

 

[Version 3.0]

Had not heard this song, so I went and listened. It's okay. Good for them.

 

[see5harp]

Even his other dumb as Shaky chaky shaky chaky song is playing everywhere I go now. I don't understand how this troll looking shitty reggaeton rapper is still popular after so many years.

 

[afroguy10]

The songs alright, pretty cool little summer hit, cool that it's non English as well.

 

[Moppeh]

I found out about this song 2 days ago.

 

[NYCrooner]

While it's incredibly over played, it's a nice summer song. Funny thing is that there are a ton of songs just like this one in this genre but this song just caught fire for some reason (Beiber didn't hurt). The new salsa version with salsa legend Victor Manuelle has breathed new life into the song for me.

 

[Monocle]

...you have a fucking problem if people are stupid for enjoying this song over your god damn preference.

It's a shit song. And people are stupid. Not necessarily because they like what I don't like, but because the taste of the masses is often lowest common denominator pap.

Once again the only stupid person here is you if your opinion is seriously that people are stupid for not having a unique taste.

So liking chocolate makes people stupid?

I agree that some people are stupid but shit song? There's a reason why it's stream so much, it's a great summer vibe song. I don't think i can get enough !

 

[Pilgrimzero]

Never heard of it. Guess I should give it a listen

This is how we do it down in Puerto Rico

LOL

I guess im an idiot, I dont have good taste in music and I'm a mindless drone because I enjoy this song

People need to chill out and just enjoy a fun summer song lol

 

[Jhoan]

Every time I hear this song now, I have a hard time disassociating it with a drunk John Vignocchi who tried to get everyone in the Giant Bomb E3 Live show. Dave Lang and Adam Boyes didn't know the lyrics and weren't familiar with it so they said nope. You know a song is big when someone sings it drunk.

The chorus is catchy as sin and yup, it happened to catch on right as the summer in NA hit so no surprises there. The song is everywhere.

 

[eizarus]

I like it. Catchy song. Although it's everywhere and I'm starting to get sick of it.

Spoiler

Bailando is better

 

[Dark Cloud]

So liking chocolate makes people stupid?

Majority of people like chocolate?

 

[cartographer]

Compared to aggressively bad songs like Chainsmokers' Closer this isn't bad at all.

Yup. I don't need to love every song when I'm out. Hearing this is such a relief when it would have been Closer or Shape of You a few months ago. It's simple and fun. Even if the Bieber version is jarring.

 

[sixteen-bit]

congrats on the success

this is some stupid logic

Puerto Rico's greatest export.

So proud.

Maybe Hershey's. It even smells weird.

Ehh. It's overplayed.

No it's not.

 

[Zyae]

terrible song

 

[mantidor]

I still can't figure out what made this Reggaeton so special compared to the hundreds others before it that sound exactly the same. My friends who like these music say it's the lyrics but I don't see it, it's not the usual "shake your ass" stuff but it's not that remarkable either.

 

[daveo42]

Fitting such a generic song is also the most popular.
