The Reign of 'Old Town Road' Has Officially Ended
Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy" dethroned Lil Nas X's history-making bop for the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
Lil Nas X made history earlier this year with "Old Town Road," but it looks like the track's reign at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 music chart is officially over.
According to Billboard themselves, 17-year-old popstar and singer-songwriter Billie Eilish's track "Bad Guy" just nabbed the #1 spot on the chart, making it her first #1 single.
"Bad Guy" spent an unprecedented nine weeks at the #2 spot before finally ascending to the top spot, Billboard also reports.
While it's sad to see Lil Nas X's claim on the Hot 100 #1 throne end, his 19-week run was extremely impressive, overtaking the 16-week record pop legend Mariah Carey has held since 1995.
\u201cwowwww thank you so much mariah! you are a legend and an icon and i\u2019m blessed to even have you acknowledging me right now! growing up to your music & now having you talk to me directly is unreal! \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u201d— NASARATI (@NASARATI) 1564452051
Obviously, there's no ill will between the two young popstars. Heck, Lil Nas X even took to Twitter to congratulate Billie and even cracked some jokes about the whole thing.
\u201ccongratulations to billie eilish!! u deserve this!!\u201d— NASARATI (@NASARATI) 1566246207
\u201cme when columbia drop me from the label because billie eilish took the number 1 spot\u201d— NASARATI (@NASARATI) 1566253147
