Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' Has Been No. 1 on the Hot 100 Longer Than Any Hip-Hop Song in History

It's been a crazy year for Lil Nas X so far. The ‘Old Town Road’ artist has experienced an unprecedented level of success with his breakthrough single, and now he's made history with it.

.@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").
