The Colombian sensation officially turned 28 years old on Friday (Jan. 28), and to celebrate, Billboard highlights his most-watched music videos with over one billion views on YouTube.
In total, Papi Juancho has seven music videos in YouTube’s coveted Billion Views Club. Five of those clips belong to him: “Felices Los 4,” “El Perdedor,” “Corazon,” “Sin Contrato” and “Borro Cassette,” while the other two are his “Chantaje” collaboration with Shakira and “Vente Pa’ Ca” with Ricky Martin.
Maluma’s 2020 banger “Hawai,” which earned the singer his 12th top 10 on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart and his highest rank on the Billboard Hot 100 with The Weeknd-assisted remix, currently has more than 850 million views.
Soaring to eventually surpass 1 billion views are Maluma’s 2016 track “Cuatro Babys,” featuring Trap Capos, Noriel, Bryant Myers and Juhn, with more than 999 million views, and the Thalia-assisted “Desde Esa Noche,” with over 939 million views.
Maluma is currently making the rounds with his single “Cositas de la USA.” Earlier this month, he was named the new face of Versace Man for its latest advertising campaign, marking his first campaign with the luxury fashion house that was founded by the late Gianni Versace.

10cc drummer Paul Burgess has announced that he is leaving the band because the demands of touring have become too much for him.
The 75-year-old musician, who also spent time performing with Jethro Tull, Camel, Magna Carta, and The Icicle Works, has chosen to walk away from the legendary rock group after more than five decades.
He shared: “After so many wonderful years with 10cc, I must admit that the rigours of touring are no longer manageable for me as I get older, and I feel it’s time to let go of the long hours in airports and endless travel on buses.
“I’m not planning to stop playing altogether. I will still perform but at a pace that feels right, working alongside old friends and a new group of fellow musicians called The Guilty Men.”
Frontman Graham Gouldman confessed that it will feel unusual to perform without his “longest-running musical associate.”
He explained: “When Paul and I first joined forces in 10cc, we never could have imagined that we’d still be at it after 30 years, let alone 52.
“Paul has been my longest musical partner and it will feel different to turn around and see another drummer, but I completely understand why he no longer wants to sit on a plane for 14 hours or wake up in a new hotel every day for weeks at a time.”
Ben Stone, who has previously played with Mike and The Mechanics and Bonnie Tyler, will be taking over on drums.
Paul, who had several runs with 10cc after joining in 1973, performed his final show with the I’m Not In Love band in Alexandria, Virginia this past September.
The group is set to continue their And Another Bloody Greatest Hits Tour in the UK next year.
