After a record-breaking 19 weeks, it’s the end of the road for Lil Nas X‘s reign atop of the Billboard Hot 100.
Fellow newcomer Billie Eilish has unseated ‘Old Town Road’ from its lengthy spell at #1 with her smash hit ‘Bad Guy.’
Details below…
Having spent 9-weeks in the runner up spot, this week sees Eilish climb from #2 to #1 – her first time in pole position on the coveted count.
So how did she do it?
During this tracking week, ‘Guy’ racked up 39.1 million US streams, digital downloads of 20,000, and commanded a colossal 93 million audience impressions at radio.
Its success make-up is interesting in that it differs greatly from ‘Old Town Road,’ which wasn’t as much of a radio or sales winner (comparatively) but was more so fuelled by mind-blowing streams.
In any case, Eilish has done what so many this year have tried to – she’s snatched pole position.
‘Bad Guy’ is lifted from the 17-year-old’s debut album ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ which topped the Billboard 200 upon its release in
Time will tell how long it manages to reign, especially with Camila Cabello and Sean Mendes’ ‘Señorita’ hot on its heels – having risen #3-#2 this week.
In the here and now, though, congrats.
So you’re telling me the top 10 of billboard hasn’t really changed for a good 2 months??? How is that even possible?
That’s the way it use to be. Im kinda glad.
Yeah when songs were good this rubbish on the other hand…
Wow, just wow . . . OTR held the pole position for nearly 5 months. I can’t even begin to process how long this record might hold.
Idk rih prolly about to drop something
??????????????????
Congrats Billie!
This song is a complete BOP! But this b**** is weird. I just don’t get her persona…but her music, I am HERE for it.
Camilla better not get another #1. Can’t stand that h**. Can we get a post to REMIND people that Camilla called Normani the N word?
#NeverForget
Best believe that song gon reach number 1.
She’s latino, I thought Latinos could use the n word. Cardi uses the N word all the time and yall dont say nothing
Ummm Camilla is white Latina while Cardi is Afro Latina. Close your legs and open a book.
AMEN
You sound dumb as a b****.
I was agreeing with you. How am I dumb for agreeing with you?
She’s white Latina, how would you know that, because you’ve been digging her hole ancestry ?
I know lots of latinos and some are pale as hell when they have siblings or elders in the family that are darker.
Mariah is pale, but it’s well known her dad is black. Would you call her out for using that word ?
Whole* ancestry ???
The word shouldn’t be used at all.
Fraud
Why do I have a feeling Billie ellish team and record label paid billboard for this number 1
people are still streaming and downloading Old town road and the remixes of old town road.
I’ve never seen anybody singing this bad guy song.
So we selling these weird devilish looking videos to children these days?
It’s the trend again lol
Billie is very overrated. I’m looking for Normani’s debut at #1. BOOM!
Chile, Billie does NOTHING for me lol #WhisperTones
It’s crazy this song has been getting played everywhere since March/April jeez
I thought there was a post on old town road going DIAMOND? How wasn’t it a bigger sales winner? I’mma laugh hard if it rebounds making for Week 20 at #1. Bad guy is atleast deserving of stopping old town road. Glad it wasn’t Normani or should I say BOREmani, no vocals all dance and looks nothing new. Tinashe 2.0
Nooooo, what is going on? Help us Janet, Toni, Brian McKnight, Ne-Yo, Tamia, PLEASE!
All of them have released music…the top 100 doesn’t wanna care
Ew. I wish a better song would dethrone Lil Nas Hottie… hopefully Lizzo!
Great song at number 1
This is one of the songs of hers i don’t like. Congrats to her.
