(AP photo)KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia has banned "Despacito'' on state radio and television, though it might be hard to slow the song's record-breaking popularity. The ban applies only to government-run radio and TV outlets, not to private stations or YouTube or the music streaming services fueling the song's success. He urged private radio stations to censor the song themselves out of sensitivity to local culture. When the record was announced earlier this week, Fonsi credited streaming for helping his music reach every corner of the planet.
