that's nothing new, people have been talking about forever, google it, Mariah has had accusations of payola since day 1

 

Mariah got married to this Mottola guy who was the owner of Columbia and people were saying he bought airplay time for Mariah in lots of stations, not sure if the rumours are true obviously

Kamaliya could never...

And the 18th week is now confirmed, so Billy Ray Cyrus has now also beaten the old record (he was technically still tied before as the first #1 week for 'Old Town Road' was before his remix came out).

 

Billy Ray Cyrus already had the record for most consecutive weeks at #1 on the US album chart in the SoundScan era as well (with 'Some Gave All' which also spent 17 weeks in a row at #1), what kind of king!!

only a real icon of country music. when will Bebe Rexha?

We stan a gay icon! Still absolutely loving this, and long may his reign continue!

Rihanna coming to end his reign

Happy he broke the record but they NEED to push Panini now or he's one hit wonder for life.

'Panini' has been doing fine for itself, has been top 10 on US Spotify since release! I hope it can pick up more now but I'd say it's already done enough to say he's not a one hit wonder. He'll just probably never have another hit coming anywhere remotely close to OTR of course, and it remains to be seen if he'll make any more impact with future releases. The longevity of 'Panini' so far is an encouraging sign I think.

so far Panini has been #16 in the US and #25 in the UK, so you cannot call him 1 hit wonder

What I think could still happen is that he ends up becoming one of those artists who *technically* had another hit in the coat-tails of the big hit, but one that is quickly forgotten as a footnote because people like the novelty of a one hit wonder. If you look up a list online of famous one hit wonders, half of them aren't even that. Arguably it was the case for Billy Ray Cyrus until this year :P

 

But honestly Lil Nas X strikes me as savvy enough to keep his career going. He seems fairly well-liked as a person behind the song too.

I'll be very surprised if he had the longevity hit like 'Old Town Road' has. 'Panini' has been consistent staying in the Top 40 for a few weeks in the UK.

Yes pretty sure the average man of the street wouldn't know PSY had another UK top 10 hit for instance.

And it extends its stint at #1 to 19 weeks in the US.

 

 

hope it's the last, no one is buying or streaming it anymore, it's just #1 cos of its Youtube views which is silly :/

It's #3 on iTunes and #10 combined on Spotify. That's not no-one, it's actually still very notable...

Question now is:

 

a) can he beat Black Eyed Peas record of 26 consecutive weeks at the top

b) can he beat Usher's record of 28 weeks at the top in a calendar year

 

 

Hopefully the answer to both of these is a resounding NO

It'll be a shame If bad guy never gets the number one now after spending nine weeks at #2 behind OTR, but I can see Señorita being the next number one.

it's a way of speaking but you know what I mean

he's far from being the best seller or most streamed... it's all cos of YT

Where the hell is the Panini video? It's so annoying how they're waiting so long. It was filmed ages ago and he's doing absolutely no promo for it and it's not even being added to any playlists...WTF?

It is literally still #1 on both the sales and streaming charts... :lol:
