‘Old Town Road’ Is Now The Longest Running #1 In US Chart History

Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus have done the truly unthinkable – ‘Old Town Road’ now holds the record for the longest running #1 song in American chart history.
Clocking in its 17th week at the top spot on the Billboard charts, the smash hit song has now outdone previous record holders, Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee’s ‘Despacito’ and Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men’s ‘One Sweet Day’.
Lil Nas X took to Twitter to document the huge milestone, decrying, “YEEE TF HAWWW”.

PB = PB || {};
gptAds = PB.gptAds || {};
var opts = {“asBool”:false,”adUnit”:”/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros”,”adDiv”:”ros_300x250_p_slot7″,”sizeStr”:”[[300, 250]]”,”mapping”:[{“viewport”:”[0, 0]”,”sizes”:”[]”},{“viewport”:”[750, 0]”,”sizes”:”[[300, 250]]”},{“viewport”:”[980, 0]”,”sizes”:”[[300, 250]]”}],”targeting”:{“pos”:”P”,”content_detail”:”0″,”kw”:”in-article”,”coppa”:”0″,”site”:”musicfeeds_intl”},”resize”:false,”autoRefresh”:false};

PB.evGPTBuilder.enqueueAd(opts);
}

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};
admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1564448473’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1564448473’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘A’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1564448473’);

if (admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie[‘val’] === ‘false’) {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1564448473’]]);
}

});

“This song has changed my life… and the way I see the world around me … in less than a year,” he added in a later, longer post.
Billy Ray Cyrus also took to social media, writing, “From the time I started a band my goal was to make music heard around the world that would touch people’s lives.”
“Congratulations my friend @LilNasX,” he added. “You sir are what ya call a ‘game changer’. Love ya man. You are a light.”
As for Australia, ‘Old Town Road’ held a total of 13 weeks at the top spot on the ARIA Charts – briefly dethroned by Ed Sheeran & Justin Bieber’s ‘I Don’t Care – but it has since fallen to number two, being overtaken by Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello’s ‘Señorita’.
