Billie Eilish knocks Lil Nas X off the Billboard chart's top spot, ending 'Old Town Road's' 19-week reign

by: Josh Hymo Aug 20, 2019

Its been 19 weeks since Lil Nas X claimed the number one spot atop the Billboard Hot 100. Let that sink in—five whole months. In that time, “Old Town Road” has seen a wild, celebrity cameo-filled music video alongside four remixes that kept it afloat, becoming the longest-leading song of all-time on the Hot 100.

However now, competition for the number one spot is back in business. Announced on August 19, Billie Eilish has earned her first number one spot on the chart with “Bad Guy” as well as a few other impressive milestones. Eilish spent nine weeks in the runner-up position, fueled by a standout remix featuring Justin Bieber, which is the longest for any song before reaching the top. What’s more—she not only trumped the longest-leading track’s reign, but she is also the first artist born in the 21st century to top the charts. Lil Nas X—born in 1999—came closest, and at 17 Eilish becomes the youngest artist at the summit since Lorde’s reign with “Royals” at the age of 16.

The country rapper hit Twitter to show Eilish some appreciation:

From the album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, “Bad Guy” has made history, proving Eilish’s continued success cannot be taken lightly.
