Lil Nas X is galloping his way to two new records
on the Billboard charts thanks to the massive
success of “Old Town Road.”


The song that beat out Mariah Carey and
“Despacito” to become the longest-running
No. 1 hit in the history of the Hot 100 chart has
now set records on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop
songs and Hot rap songs charts, respectively.


“Old Town Road,” which features Billy Ray Cyrus
and is spending its 19th week at No. 1, surpasses
the record set by Drake’s “One Dance” on the Hot
R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart. Drake’s track spent 18
weeks at No.1.
