a song this successful literally can't be bad.

I think it has to be bad senpai.
>>74088683
>>74088683
That's a nice hypothesis, but you've already disproved it
>>74088703
If Friday had come out in 2017 it would easily be on over a billion now
>>74088683
I don't even know this song existed without you guys telling that it is
I don't understand the appeal of this song, I wouldn't even say that it's bad or anything, but it sounds generic spanish shit to me, I kinda got the hype for gangnam style and that f&f song that reached similar numbers, but not this
so is this like the modern equivalent of some ricky martin song
This song is so generic and boring

I feel like this was some elaborate shill campaign with view farms. I've literally never heard this song played on the radio or anywhere and I'm pretty normie.
>Reggaeton
>good
Pick one. And it's still more tolerable than 90% of the other stuff that gets shit out
>>74088895
Hispanic listeners hate it because they can understand the trashy lyrics, but normie Americans just love the sound.
>>74088703
That one has more dislikes than likes though
A man this popular canĀ“t be bad

you're not normie if you consider yourself normie newfag
this shit plays on the radio all the time in fat beaner bitches grand caravans

Because we've collectively decided that the Song of the Summer is the most important thing in the world, and "Despacito" won that title for lack of any real competition. It's not like "Feels" or "Malibu" deserve it.
>inb4 someone suggests "Cut To The Feeling"

What's the story behind these kind of videos again?
>>74088683
>DEEEEE
>PAAAAAAAA
>CITO
I hope Luis Fonsi becomes an hero too.
>>74089902
as a puertorican I can tell you that this is not true. the people over here love this song
>>74089861
reggaeton used to be good in the 90s
I just listened to it. I don't get it. It sounds pretty generic. Some catchy vocal melodies, but even those are quickly abandoned in favor of less memorable segments.
>>74090579
it's called "little kids watch them"
there is no conspiracy, I know this from my nephews
the way the rhythm breaks before the chorus is genius
>>74089812
you gotta listen to the top 40 pop stations bruh. its played like 5-6 times a day atleast.
It's nice to dance to
>>74088862
if it came out in 2017 then nobody would care about it
>>74088683
Guys, some mediocre musicians (and not only) have immense money behind them, hotels etc, they actually loose money promoting their stuff and do side buisnesses etc.
Perhaps a lot of pop is like that?
I've seen a case like that while working as a waiter in my poor country that involved millions in dollars.
>>74088703
objectively great song
