Lil Nas X Continues Making Music History with 'Old Town Road'

Lil Nas X hits the stage in a pink bedazzled outfit while performing at KAOS Nightclub on Saturday night (July 13) in Las Vegas.

The 20-year-old rapper is continuing to make music history with his debut single “Old Town Road,” which is now number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 15th week in a row.

The record for most weeks at number one is currently 16 weeks. Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men‘s song “One Sweet Day” and “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber are tied for that position.

Lil Nas X now holds the record for the most weeks at number one for a debut single after surpassing Los Del Rio‘s “Macarena,” which spent 14 weeks at number one in 1996. He also has spent more weeks at number one than any other openly gay artist!
