Longest Consecutive Weeks At #1 on Billboard Hot 100: New Record "Old Town Road"


Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road"  featuring Billy Ray Cyrus set a record for most weeks at #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 for 19 weeks.  I just now listened to it.  Very interesting.  I like the official video with Chris Rock.

Anyway, here are the Top Ten longest #1 songs in the past 60 years.  The number in front is how many weeks at #1:

19     "Old Town Road,"  Lil Nas X ff. Billy Ray Cyrus (2019)
