Nineteen long weeks later, Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” has finally been dethroned, after enjoying the record for most weeks ever spent at #1.
The new queen in town is seventeen-year-old Billie Eilish’s practically-whispered, raunchy tune “Bad Guy” (best lyric: “My mommy likes to sing along with me / but she won’t sing this song.” As reported by Billboard, Billie’s track spent nine weeks at #2—but clearly her fans were fed up with coming in second. Billie is breaking records as well, since no song has ever gone to #1 after spending that many weeks at #2.
congratulations to billie eilish!! u deserve this!!

Shockingly, Lil Nas X’s hit isn’t even at #2 anymore. He’s taking the #3 spot, while Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s “Señorita” is sitting pretty in second. If Lil Nas X is pissed, he’s not showing it—in fact, he’s already tweeted his congrats to Eilish.
“Bad Guy,” which was first released in March, got a new vertical video three days ago. See it below.
