Winner's Circle: Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' Breaks Record With 17th Week Atop Billboard Hot 100

7/29/2019 by Trevor Anderson , Gary Trust

 

Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, claims one of the most prized records in the Billboard Hot 100's 60-year history as it spends an unprecedented 17th week at No. 1.

 

"Road" bests the previous record of 16 weeks first achieved by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day," in 1995-96, and later matched by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber in 2017.

 

With a 17th week atop the Hot 100 for "Old Town Road," here's an updated leaderboard of the 10 longest-leading No. 1s in the chart's archives:

 

Weeks at No. 1, Title, Artist, Date Reached No. 1

17, "Old Town Road," Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus, April 13, 2019

16, "Despacito," Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber, May 27, 2017

16, "One Sweet Day," Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men, Dec. 2, 1995

14, "Uptown Funk!," Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, Jan. 17, 2015

14, "I Gotta Feeling," The Black Eyed Peas, July 11, 2009

14, "We Belong Together," Mariah Carey, June 4, 2005

14, "Candle in the Wind 1997"/"Something About the Way You Look Tonight," Elton John, Oct. 11, 1997

14, "Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix)," Los Del Rio, Aug. 3, 1996

14, "I'll Make Love to You," Boyz II Men, Aug. 27, 1994

14, "I Will Always Love You," Whitney Houston, Nov. 28, 1992

 

"Road" takes its place in Hot 100 history alongside notable record-setters. Among the most distinguished achievements, The Beatles boast the most No. 1s (20), Carey has spent the most time at No. 1 (79 weeks) while, upon the chart's 60th anniversary last August, Chubby Checker's classic "The Twist" claimed the top spot on the Hot 100's Greatest of All Time retrospective chart.

 

As on the Hot 100, "Road" (on Columbia Records) leads the Streaming Songs chart for a 17th week, another record-breaking mark, topping the 16-week run of "Despacito." "Road" rules Streaming Songs with 72.5 million U.S. streams, down 16%, in the week ending July 25, according to Nielsen Music. "Road" set the record for the top streaming week (143 million) following the April 5 arrival of its remix solely with Cyrus (who has been billed on 16 of the song's 17 weeks atop the Hot 100) and claims nine of the 11 biggest streaming frames to date, including the top three.

 

Helping its total this week, a meta-named "Week 17 Version" video of "Road" premiered on July 19. The clip truncates the song’s official music video, released May 17, by removing various skits that feature guest cameos from Chris Rock and others.

 

To help his week 18 chances, Lil Nas X unleashed yet another remix of “Road,” this time alongside RM of BTS, at the tail end of the latest tracking week, which closed July 25. That version, “Old Town Road (Seoul Town Road Remix)” will see its full impact on the following week’s Hot 100. The “Seoul” remix is, per Lil Nas X’s tweet shortly before its release, the “last one i PROMISSEE.” The RM collaboration marks the fourth official reworking of the viral smash, following turns by Cyrus; Diplo; and Young Thug and Mason Ramsey.

 

Back to this week: "Road" spends a 13th frame atop the Digital Song Sales chart with 46,000 downloads sold (up 1%) in the week ending July 25. On Radio Songs, where it reached No. 2, "Road" backtracks 10-14, with 47 million audience impressions, down 12%, in the week ending July 28.

 

"Road" concurrently leads the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a 17th week each and the Songs of the Summer chart for a ninth frame, having led the list each week since its annual return after Memorial Day.

 

Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" notches a seventh total week at its No. 2 Hot 100 high, as it holds in the runner-up slot on Streaming Songs (50.9 million, down 9%) slides 2-5 on Digital Song Sales (22,000, down 34%) an climbs 5-4 on Radio Songs (89.3 million, up 5%). The song gained in all metrics the previous week, boosted by a remix with Justin Bieber, released July 11, just ahead of the July 12-18 streaming and sales tracking week that fed last week's July 27-dated charts.

 

On this week's Aug. 3-dated Hot 100, "Road" dips by 13% in overall metrics and "Guy" lowers by 9% as "Road" sports a 1.2-to-1 points difference over "Guy" (after leading by 1.3-to-1 last week).

 

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s “Senorita” returns to the Hot 100’s top three with a 4-3 bump after having debuted at No. 2 on the chart dated July 6. The song ascends into the top 10 on Radio Songs (11-9) as it surges to 66.9 million in audience, up 27%, and seizes the Hot 100’s Airplay Gainer award. The bump secures Mendes’ seventh Radio Songs top 10, while Cabello snags her fourth as a soloist.

 

Khalid’s “Talk,” likewise rises one rung on the Hot 100 (5-4) after having reached No. 3. It leads the all-genre Radio Songs for a seventh week (134.5 million, up 1%) and wins a 14th term atop the streaming-, airplay- and sales-fueled Hot R&B Songs chart.

 

The Hot 100 welcomes a new member to the top five as Lizzo’s “Truth Hurts” rises 6-5. The singer-songwriter-flautist’s mainstream breakthrough reaches new highs on both Streaming Songs (7-5) and Radio Songs (8-7), improving 8% to 28.5 million clicks on the former survey and 20% to 77.8 million in audience on the latter.

 

Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s “I Don’t Care” backtracks 3-6 on the Hot 100 as it spends a second week atop the Pop Songs airplay chart. Meanwhile, the track’s parent album, Sheeran’s No.6 Collaborations Project, logs a second week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

 

Nos. 7-9 remain steady on the Hot 100, with Post Malone’s “Goodbyes,” featuring Young Thug, holding at No. 7. The Jonas Brothers’ former No. 1, “Sucker,” ranks directly below; the song debuted in the top slot in March. Post Malone also ranks at No. 9 thanks to “Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider Verse),” with Swae Lee. As “Sunflower” banks its 32nd week in the Hot 100’s top 10, it moves within one week of tying the all-time mark – 33 weeks – shared by Sheeran’s “Shape of You” and Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You,” featuring Cardi B, achieved in 2017 and 2018-19, respectively.

 

Speaking of “you,” Shawn Mendes rounds out the Hot 100’s top 10 as “If I Can’t Have You” jumps 13-10 and returns to the Hot 100’s upper reaches for the first time since its No. 2 debut in May. With “Senorita” and “You,” Mendes claims concurrent top 10 hits on the Hot 100 for the first time in his career. He becomes the sixth act to double up in the top 10 in 2019, joining Drake, Ariana Grande, Halsey, Post Malone and Travis Scott.

And while we're at it:

Also I'm so pleased to see If I Can't Have You finally get a second week in the top 10! Hoping You Need To Calm Down can do the same in the coming weeks.

Ah yes but Mariah Carey did it with one version and by actual sales not streaming. Does anyone know how many weeks Old Town Road would be at number 1 by sales?

13 going on 14 :magic:

Was it actual sales though? I always thought Airplay was what gave Mariah the number one power she had.

One Sweet Day was top of the US airplay chart for 13 weeks, and Old Town Road was never number one on airplay, so radio did help Mariah a bit!
I can't find an archive of the pure sales charts but I wouldn't be surprised if 'One Sweet Day' actually had fewer weeks at #1 on the sales-only chart than 'Old Town Road' so that's a weird way to try and discredit it...

I found this on Google: https://www.ukmix.org/showthread.php?109979...p-Sales-History ctrl+f 'Hot 100 Singles Sales'. Apparently 'One Sweet Day' spent 11 weeks at #1 on sales. Billboard.biz's search backs it up.

 

That said, 'One Sweet Day' famously (?) was, at some point, heavily discounted:

The fax is not the only way Columbia helped push "One Sweet Day" to No. 1, where it has remained for nine weeks. The label also encouraged a rush of sales in the early weeks by giving out free copies to stores reporting to Soundscan or by offering them four singles for the price of one. Stores could then put "One Sweet Day" on sale for 49 to 99 cents, more than $2 below the average price of a single. This has become a common practice for promoting high-priority releases.

So the discrediting can always go both ways :lol:
While searching through the Hot Singles Sales chart archives I noticed that the cast of High School Musical 2 had a song at number one for 28 weeks :lol:

I guess CD sales were getting close to nonexistent by then :P

 

But yes, there you go, a mere 11 weeks for Mariah on the sales chart, 2 less than Lil Nas X and he might yet still increase his stay at the top there.

 

I tried to look for the Hot Singles Sales archive on the Billboard website but it wasn't listed where I looked!

Despacito had 17 weeks at the top of the sales only chart actually!
