Billboard - 24.08.2019

B

ILLIE EILISH EARNS

her first No. 1 on the

Billboard Hot 100

with “Bad Guy” — and

conquers the longest-leading ruler

in the chart’s history: Lil Nas X’s

“Old Town Road” (featuring Billy

Ray Cyrus), which spent 19 weeks at

the summit.

“Bad Guy” reigns after spending

nine total weeks in the runner-up

spot, the most for any title

before reaching No. 1. It passes

The Weeknd’s “Starboy,” Justin

Bieber’s “Sorry” and OutKast’s

“The Way You Move” (featuring

Sleepy Brown), each of which

withstood eight-week waits at No. 2

before leading at last in 2017, 2016

and 2004, respectively.

“Bad Guy” rises to the top

with 93 million airplay audience

impressions, 39.1 million U.S.

streams and 20,000 sold in the

tracking week, according to Nielsen

Music, aided by the Aug. 15 arrival

of both a new vertical video and a

souvenir cassette single.

Born Dec. 18, 2001, Eilish is the

first artist born in the 2000s to top

the Hot 100. (Lil Nas X previously

came closest to the distinction;

he was born April 9, 1999.) Eilish

is the youngest artist to lead the

list since Lorde, who was 16 when

“Royals” began its nine-week

command in 2013, while “Bad Guy”

is additionally the first Hot 100

No. 1 since “Royals” to have led the

Alternative airplay chart (where it

dominated the previous two weeks).
