Arcángel and Bad Bunny's 'Me Acostumbré' Crosses 1 Billion YouTube Views

The music video for "Me Acostumbré" by Arcángel featuring Bad Bunny has surpassed 1 billion views on YouTube, Billboard reported on 29 July 2026.

The video, published on 19 February 2017, was directed by Rodrigo Films and filmed in the Dominican Republic. Production was handled by DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz. The track was released under Pina Records, according to the label credit on YouTube. When the song first arrived, it peaked at No. 28 on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart, the publication's tally that tracks the most popular Latin tracks in the US, on the chart dated 13 May 2017.

The billion-view threshold matters because YouTube remains one of the largest on-demand music platforms in the world, and crossing it places a video in what the platform and music press call the Billion Views Club — videos that have been watched a thousand million times. Billboard's report does not credit a specific source such as YouTube Charts or an artist announcement; it appears to rely on publicly available view counts on the video's page, which currently displays "1B."

For Bad Bunny, the milestone is his 20th entry in that club. For Arcángel, it is his seventh. It is also the third video the two artists share in the Billion Views Club, alongside "Tu No Vives Así" and "Diles." Bad Bunny's most recent entry before "Me Acostumbré" was "Tití Me Preguntó," which crossed the threshold in January 2025.

What gives the number context is scale. In a March 2026 blog post, YouTube's Global Head of Music Lyor Cohen stated that Bad Bunny has accumulated more billion-view videos than any artist in the platform's history. A separate YouTube blog post from November 2025 noted that six of the ten fastest music videos to reach a billion views were by Latin artists. YouTube Blog

Nine years after "Me Acostumbré" first appeared, the video is still being watched — enough times to push both artists further up a list where Latin music already holds a commanding share of the top entries.
