By Walt Hickey Weeks “Old Town Road” has hit 16 weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, meaning that Lil Nas X has successfully tied the current record. “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men and “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi currently share the record. Thus far the song has been resilient against many threats, including two songs from Taylor Swift, two songs from Shawn Mendez, and a song by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber, all of which debuted at number two on the chart. Swift has a reputation as a streak slayer, personally ending the “Despacito” hegemony of 2017 with her single “Look What You Made Me Do.”
