"Old Town Road" has broken another record.
Lil Nas X’s hit single remains at the top of Billboard’s Hot 100 list for the 15th week in a row. If the song maintains its spot for another week, it will be tied for the all-time record for the longest reign on the chart. Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men were the first to achieve this feat with their 1995 song “One Sweet Day" until 2017 when “Despacito,” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber, was released.
“Old Town Road” is also the longest-running Hot 100 debut single, according to Chart Data.

The country bop dethroned Los del Rios’ 90s classic “Macarena.”
Lil Nas X has been churning out remixes to the song, the latest including Young Thug and Mason Ramsey, the little boy known for yodeling in a Walmart.
He also invited Dolly Parton and Megan Thee Stallion to jump on another version, as Blavity previously reported.

"Y’all think i can get dolly parton and megan thee stallion on a old town road remix?" he wrote.
Since Parton is Miley Cyrus' godmother, it could happen.
