Bad Bunny Extends Own Spotify Record With “VeLDÁ,” Now Has Five More Billion-Stream Songs Than Anyone Else

Bad Bunny's collaboration "VeLDÁ" with Dei V and Omar Courtz has reached 1 billion streams on Spotify, extending Bad Bunny's record to 36 songs with such a milestone. This achievement places Bad Bunny five songs ahead of his closest competitor, The Weeknd, who has 31 tracks with over 1 billion streams each on Spotify. "VeLDÁ" is also the first song by Dei V and Omar Courtz to join Spotify's Billions Club.

The song, from Bad Bunny's Grammy-winning album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS, features spoken word by Wisin and samples Plan B's "No Voy a Esperar Por Ti." "VeLDÁ" peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 9 on the Billboard Global 200, while achieving Top 10 positions in several Latin American countries. Bad Bunny surpassed The Weeknd in the Spotify record earlier this year, moving from three behind to five ahead in just months.

The accomplishment adds to a growing list of accolades for the Puerto Rican superstar in 2026, including winning seven Emmy Awards for his Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, making it the most-awarded halftime performance in Emmy history.
