Lil Nas X is having one hell of a debut run.
The newly-out rapper’s mega-hit “Old Town Road” is number 1 again on the Billboard Hot 100 for the 13th week, making it the the longest-running hip-hop song to claim the top spot.
Only two other songs, Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road” and Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine,” have achieved the same feat of 13 weeks at No. 1.
.@LilNasX's "Old Town Road" is now the longest running Hot 100 #1 hip-hop single of all time (13 weeks; passing "Lose Yourself", "Boom Boom Pow" and "See You Again").
