Billie Eilish Dethrones Lil Nas X and Takes the No.1 Spot on the Billboard Hot 100
It’s been an insane 19 weeks for Lil Nas X and his hit “Old Town Road,” but there is a new No.1 now: Billie Eilish.
The singer has hit number one with her song “Bad Guy.” As Billboard explains, “Billie Eilish earns her first No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, as ‘Bad Guy’ rises from No.2. The song reigns after spending nine total weeks at the runner-up spot, the most for any title before reaching the summit in the Hot 100’s history.”
Eilish also took the title of longest-leading Hot 100 of all-time from “Old Town Road.”
Lil Nas X went to Twitter and Instagram to congratulate Billie on her No.1 and also poke fun on the fact that he was no longer the leader.
On Instagram, he posted pics with Billie Eilish and her brother, Finneas, with the caption, “congrats to these two on number 1.”
