Lil Nas X Extends His Billboard Hot 100 Record to an 18th Week

Lil Nas X‘s smash hit song “Old Town Road” has earned an 18th week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, extending his record of the most weeks spent on top of the chart.

The 20-year-old rapper, who collaborated with Billy Ray Cyrus on the song, recently broke the 16-week record set by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men with their song “One Sweet Day.”

Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber tied the record with their song “Despacito,” but no song had dethroned the track until now.

“Old Town Road” has topped the Songs of the Summer chart for 10 weeks in a row and it’s the only song to reach number one on the chart this year.

Billie Eilish‘s song “Bad Guy” is at number two for the eighth week.
