"Despacito" has become the most streamed track of all time with more than 4.6 billion plays across streaming platforms. 

Universal Music Latin Entertainment says the song by Puerto Rican artists Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee and the accompanying remix with pop star Justin Bieber surpassed the previous record holder -- Bieber's 2015 hit song "Sorry."

Despacito, which was released in January, has been at the top of Billboard Hot 100 for weeks.

Fonsi said in a statement that streaming has helped his music reach every corner of the planet.
