Thanks to yet another week of massive streams, strong sales and big radio activity, Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus)” retains its #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100.<\/p>\n
Celebrating 15 weeks as the #1 song in America, “Old Town Road” is just one week away from tying the record for longest reign on the chart. Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” and Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi & Justin Bieber’s “Despacito” each enjoyed sixteen-week reigns.<\/p>\n
The closest competition on this week’s chart comes from Billie Eilish’s “bad guy.” The Billie Eilish tune continues to close the gap, trailing by what Billboard reports as a 1.5-to-1 point ratio (compared with a 1.9-to-1 last week).<\/p>\n
In addition to its ongoing momentum, “bad guy” will receive a boost on next week’s chart from the newly released Justin Bieber remix. While the Bieber track has not been putting up monster numbers, it is still a factor on the sales and streaming front.<\/p>\n
Granted, “Old Town Road” has a new remix of its own (featuring Young Thug and Mason Ramsey); it is also selling at a discounted price on iTunes.<\/p>\n
Post Malone’s “Goodbyes (featuring Young Thug)” (#3), Khalid’s “Talk” (#4) and Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello’s “Se\u00f1orita” (#5) complete this week’s Top 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“Old Town Road” continues to threaten the all-time Hot 100 record.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":129575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[6531,12242,12267],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
