'Despacito' is one week away from equalling a 22-year chart record
The song is enjoying an epic run at #1.

Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber's 'Despacito' is currently enjoying a 15-week reign at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
If the song manages to stay on top for a further week, it will equal the run made by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's 'One Sweet Day', which sat on top of the chart for 16 weeks, from December 2, 1995 to March 16, 1996.
As Billboard point out, the song only just broke the record for longest #1 run for a primarily non-English language hit, beating the 14 weeks spent on top by Los Del Rio's 'Macarena' in late 1996.
