Lil Nas X‘s 2019 smash “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, has maintained some pretty impressive records on the Billboard charts. But five years later, he’s happily passing the torch to two other artists.

On Tuesday, Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” broke the record for most weeks at No. 1 (20) on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, surpassing the 19-week streak of “Old Town Road.” “It was a good run ! the horses are officially actually in the back now! Congratulations to Shaboozey!” Lil Nas X wrote on X in response to Chart Data’s post sharing Billboard's reporting.


Shaboozey isn't the only one making chart history. Last week, Kendrick Lamar‘s “Not Like Us” broke the record for most weeks at No. 1 (21) on Billboard‘s Hot Rap Songs chart — where it has now spent 22 weeks at the top (chart dated Oct. 19) — surpassing the 20-week streak of “Old Town Road.” “It was a good run ! the horses are officially actually in the back now! Congratulations to Kendrick!” Lil Nas X tweeted on Wednesday (Oct. 16) in response to NFR Podcast‘s post sharing Billboard‘s reporting.

“Old Town Road,” which was the lead single from Lil Nas X’s major label debut EP 7, is still the longest-leading No. 1 in Hot 100 chart history, with 19 weeks at the penthouse suite.
