Slowly

Music is an amazing phenomenon. There are no rules, it just captures feelings, emotions and creates an atmosphere which is specific for each song.
“Slowly” (Despacito) is climbing up the charts anything else than slowly. The facts are absolutely stunning.
It is #1 in the Spotify “Global Top 50” playlist with 6.5 million streams per day! The next song following is 2 million streams behind – this distance is more than what other “Global Top 50” songs have as their total daily stream!
When the song “Gangam style” by Psy was released in 2012, it broke the view limit of Youtube in 2014, which was the 32 Bit integer maximum value of 2,147,483,647 views at this time. Youtube had to change their code and is now using a 64 Bit integer value.
However, since 2012 “Gangam style” now collected 2.8 billion views in a period of 5 years.
The song “Hello” by Adele was another phenomenon: released in October 2015 it now collected 1.9 billion views in a period of a little more than 1.5 years.
This is the unbelievable:
Despacito was released in January this year and has now collected 2.1 billion views is a period of only 5 months! Stunning!
It’s played everywhere, therefore here just a cover version which I like because of the female/male voice mix.
