Daddy Yankee hits a new milestone as the music video for his 2019 hit “Con Calma,” featuring Canadian rapper Snow, coolly crosses the three-billion-view mark on YouTube. The animated visual, packed with electrifying dance moves and reggaetón flow, marks the Puerto Rican superstar’s second video to hit that milestone, following the 2017 chart-topping smash “Despacito.”
Released in January 2010, the “Con Calma” video showcases an animated version of The Big Boss leading the charge on a brightly lit dance floor, surrounded by synchronized dancers who bring the infectious beat — courtesy of Play-N-Skillz and David “Scott Summers” Macias — to life. A reimagined take on Snow’s 1992 classic “Informer,” the visual creates a party-like atmosphere that continues to attract an ever-growing audience.
On the Billboard charts, the smash hit entered various listings, including topping Hot Latin Songs, Latin Airplay and Argentina Hot 100. In February 2019, the remix featuring Katy Perry reached the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 22, further extending the track’s global success.
In October, Billboard reported that Concord acquired Daddy Yankee’s music catalog in a deal valued at $217 million. The Latin hitmaker — whose Barrio Fino was the first reggaetón album to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Latin Albums chart in 2004 — released his trap-infused single “En el Desierto” earlier this year. He also featured on the 2024 Peacock documentary, Reggaeton: The Sound that Conquered the World, also starring Ivy Queen, Bad Bunny and more.
