Disappointing Bunny’s “DtMF” Tops Billboard Hot 100, Marking First Solo No. 1 for Superstar

Bad Bunny has achieved his first solo Number One song on the Billboard Hot 100 with “DtMF,” a plena track that blends traditional Puerto Rican sounds with modern production. He previously reached the top spot in 2018 as a featured artist on Cardi B’s “I Like It.”

The ascent of “DtMF” to the top follows a historic week for Bad Bunny, who became the first artist to win the Album of the Year Grammy for a Spanish-language album and the first to deliver a full Super Bowl halftime headlining show entirely in Spanish. Following the Grammy win on February 2, 2026 and the Super Bowl performance on February 8, 2026, his catalog experienced significant streaming increases.

A Surge in Streams Following Grammy and Super Bowl Performances

“DtMF” initially reached Number Two on the Hot 100 upon its release as part of Bad Bunny’s album I should have taken more photos in January 2025. According to Luminate, Bad Bunny’s music garnered 99.6 million on-demand U.S. Streams on February 9, 2026 – a 175 percent increase from the previous week. This followed a 117 percent increase on February 2, 2026, after the Grammy Awards. “DtMF” was his most-streamed song in the U.S. On February 9, with 10.4 million streams, per Luminate.

Expanding Chart Presence

“DtMF” is not Bad Bunny’s only song currently charting in the Top 10. He also has three other songs in the Top 10 this week: “Baile Inolvidable,” “Nuevayol,” and his 2022 hit “Tití Me Preguntó.”

The Significance of “DtMF”

Sonically, “DtMF” revitalizes plena, a traditional Puerto Rican folk genre characterized by call-and-response vocals. It marks the first plena song to ever reach Number One on the Hot 100. The song is also deeply personal for Bad Bunny, reflecting on past moments and the importance of cherishing the present.

In a 2025 interview with Rolling Stone, Bad Bunny explained the song’s meaning, stating, “Sometimes there are these moments I live through, and I enjoy them, but I didn’t take any photos… It has a lot of meaning in terms of wishing I had seized certain moments. That’s the idea: enjoying the moment when I could and valuing memories.”
