Anybody else impressed at how fast Despacito is becoming the most popular song of all time? It's going to beat See You Again pretty soon, and that song took 2 years to get to 2.9 billion views, whereas Despacito only took 6 months to get to 2.8 billion. It probably won't reached the 3 billion mark before See You Again, but it's really close.
Anyways, what do you think will be the next big song that'll get to 3 billion views in less than a year? Another non-English song? Actually yeah that's interesting, because both Gangnam Style and Despacito aren't English, and if it weren't for Paul Walker's death, which is what See You Again is about, I doubt it would have gotten this many views.

Why is this song so popular to begin with?

I'll take things that don't matter for 400, Alex.

I think because of how catchy it is, and in my opinion it's actually a good song. Even though I can't understand a thing they're saying.
I personally didn't like Gangnam Style because of how "loud" it was, but Despacito is something I could listen to in almost any situation and it would feel right.
Laying in bed or sitting at the computer? I can listen to the song and feel comfy. At a house party or out clubbing? The song can be played and everyone can dance to it.
It works in every situation.

>How catchy it is >I still can't hear it in my head It's so forgettable. I've listened to it a few times and I can't remotely tell you what it sounds like.
Jason Parker
>impressed No, because people have shit taste in music.
Isaiah Stewart
Catchy to a wide variety of people Upbeat dance beat without being too abrasive with enough of a tiny variation where it's not generic reggaeton beat Smooth, slightly melodic rapping that gives it this sensual feel The one part everyone knows can be sung along to, and it's said in a very stylish, smooth, and sensual way, too
Nathaniel Jenkins
I still haven't listened to it.
I am a morbidly curious person, so it's quite painful having to restrain myself from hearing what all the fuss is about.
Cooper Jenkins
it's barely even catchy. it's so cliched it makes me wanna die.
Mason Cook
I hope its jazz
Austin Stewart
Me too. If this is on some ad I accidentally catch I'm gonna be pissed.
Jordan Jones
So just listen to it?
Eli King

Jaxson Cook

James Perez

Jayden Morris

Jaxson Kelly

Charles Morgan

You're free to love whatever you want, but posting on this board relinquishes any protection you may have against being lambasted.
Tyler King
And it seems like there's a despacito thread everyday. Maybe Sup Forums is in denial of how much they enjoy this song
Jose Watson
The song is a bit like Hips Don't Lie.
Once it starts playing at a club/party/bar everyone, and I mean everyone, enjoys it and starts to dance if the venue is appropriate for that.
It's like, who the fuck wouldn't enjoy Hips Don't Lie? I'm 18 years old, and even though all of my friends who are also 18 were like 6 years old when the song came out, everyone loves it and it's like the peak/climax of the playlist of songs being played.

This board is a collective of delusional, elitist pricks. It hates anything associated with popularity.
Angel Cook
I love this song. Usually yeah most ultra popular songs are trash but this one is genuinely good. Was surprised
Nolan Kelly
this, it's not that bad it's just bland I usually get why top 40 songs that get huge do so, this one just seems like it got lucky
