He was No 1 for six conse-
cutive years, but Scottish
supremo Calvin Harris has
been dethroned by The
Chainsmokers for the title
of world’s richest DJ!
Forbes’ new list of elect-
ronic cash kings, which
ranks the world’s most-
successful DJs, shows the
American duo of Alex
Pall and Drew Taggart
(BELOW) earned a cool
$46 million (R686m) over
the past year.
This is thanks to their
many festival appearances
and private gigs as well as
successful collabs with
fellow artists such as
Halsey and Coldplay.
TownRoad(featuringBillyRay
Cyrus)hasovertakenMariah
Carey’s 1995 duet with Boyz II
Men, One Sweet Day, to
become the longest-running
Billboard Hot 100 No 1 single
of all time!
Mimi – who held the record
with 16 weeks – was quick to
congratulate the cowboy
rapper, tweeting, “Sending love
& congrats to @LilNasX on
breaking one of the longest
running records in music
history!” next to an image of
her passing the torch to the
20-year-old, whose real name
is Montero Lamar Hill.
“We’ve been blessed to
hold this record with a song
that means a great deal to
@BoyzIIMen and myself and
has touched so many. Keep
living your best life!”
Lil Nas X responded by
reposting her tweet on
Instagram along with the
message “Legend” and a
heart emoji.
