i feel like Lil Nas X is secretly on Pulse People say he's from ATRL (NasMaraj member)... maybe he knows how to do Hot 100 predictions and how to promote a song with the general public and the Stan community. |

Lil Nas X will fade into obscurity soon.... Maybe not? Panini isn't going to be another hit for him, lol. It won't have a quarter of the success Old Town Road got and he can push it on radio and shoot as many troll/viral videos as he wants. It's nice to see that he's carved out a path for himself as a Twitter troll when we all forget about his existence at the end of the year. |

Nothing he makes can ever be as successful as OTR and I think he knows it. So apparently Tiktok makes hits now, so they’ll find another song to meme and artist to make a one hit wonder. They’re already doing it with Blanco Brown.

I hope it gets 17 weeks just to see Mariah Carey stans reactions when the tied record is broken by a meme song. BuT sTrEaMiNg NeEdS tO bE WEiGhEd MoRe And the same MC fans will have zero problem when AIWFCIY hits #1 because of streaming. For the record, that would be an amazing chart feat - and one that’s deserved. An iconic song that has become part of the American holiday season and is heard everywhere may reach the top because of technology and Billboard changing the rules on charting. I get why some folks are annoyed about OTR and the constant promotion and memes, but all those views/streams actually produce new revenue. It’s very different than hitting repeat on a one-time purchased track on your device. I’ve always thought the H100 should resemble HITS revenue chart - it’s about the bank! |

He already has 3 million net worth. He’s getting greedy. I highly doubt he has that as a net worth off one song that just moved 10 million units in the US. A lot of artists boast about the GROSS as their NET. Columbia is getting a bulk of the profits off Old Town Road. He's got a manager, publicist and tons of other people working for him that he has to pay. There's also the part where all the producers/writers on Old Town Road and it's remix paid, too. I doubt he's got up to $2 million dollars to his name as it is, especially when he's done paying taxes. |

Panini is already a hit. It's still top 5 on Spotify. If the music video is good, he'll have another hit. You shouldn't expect it to break records OTR style, but it will be a decent second single for him.

God he’s gonna try and force another meme Him forcing so many memes has taken the magic out of the song for me. It's made it clear that he's just a child who is also a troll who got lucky with a massive hit record. He's got no star quality and is a terrible musician. Even with his label, it seems more and more that they're just trying to milk the song. That's the reason he got signed. Watch how he'll get treated by not just Columbia, but the music industry once Old Town Road dies out. I've seen people like him come and go COUNTLESS times. I believe he'll drop more music in the future but nothing will ever connect with people the way Old Town Road did and once everyone's faves gets off their breaks and start new album eras, it's over. |

You shouldn't expect it to break records OTR style, but it will be a decent second single for him. It's not a hit (yet), but it's definitely not a flop. I'm sure his label will try to push it as the next single to keep it going but it will never take off. Surely not as well as Old Town Road did. Old Town Road was special when he wasn't trolling on Twitter as Lil Nas X. Now it's clear it's all a meme to him and it's obvious he's just trying to milk this moment for as long as he can. That's why none of the other remixes are sticking. People are fatigued with the song and it's starting to show. I've seen other people like Lil Nas X come and go. Quick examples are Desiigner and Fetty Wap. Both scored massive hits out the gate, had the love of the music industry soon after that, even won some awards, but couldn't match the success of those hits and soon after were long forgotten like they never happened. That'll be Lil Nas X by this time next year. |

The problem is there’s nothing else “unique” he could do to click with everyone. He’s already done country and it worked for him. Of his straight rap songs, one’s doing okay and the other with Cardi B just flopped. He’s done a bit of alternative as well but that flopped off the rock charts in a couple weeks. His novelty is gone and he’ll be dropped from the label when he can’t make a hit in a couple years. He’ll be known as “the one who made that meme rap song”, and it’s kind of sad but it was clear he isn’t really fit for long term success in the industry.

I mean, he made Old Town Road out of boredom and it's one of the biggest hits of all time. He's done well for himself. He shouldn't be disappointed when it all ends because he had a hell of a ride. Some artists never see this kind of success in an entire career. |

I'm just gonna say this, but if a female pop star were to do this it'd be different. Like if Katy or Gaga or Beyonce had a 15 week #1 single and they pulled all the stops to break the record I bet they'd be supported by everyone here. But Lil Nas X isn't a female pop star, so he gets treated differently. Pulse is basically stan twitter.

Of course there’s a double standard, but those are artists people like and have proven success. I’m not the majority, but I dislike long-staying number one hits, and reading the list of songs that got blocked was just depressing.

But Lil Nas X isn't a female pop star, so he gets treated differently. That's definitely true. But they'd get dragged more because they're established acts trying to extend a lead at #1. They're also women and that will add to it also, but there aren't a ton of male artists who have gone all out to push a song the way Lil Nas X has with the remixes and the trolling and the memes, etc. Everyone knows Lil Nas X will be out of here soon and so they like the idea of the song that was banned from country charts ending up as one of the biggest hits of the decade. That's what most of his support is based on. |

I’m not the majority, but I dislike long-staying number one hits, and reading the list of songs that got blocked was just depressing. People like Lil Nas X or else his EP wouldn't still be in the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and OTR wouldn't been #1 for so damn long. And the amount of songs getting blocked by OTR is a good thing IMO, If I Can't Have You and You Need To Calm Down both dropped to #13 from #2 in their second week, if they hit #1 it'd be even more depressing. We would be seeing tons of #1 hits falling off after their first week and honestly that isn't how a #1 should be. The peak is all good but longevity is key and having a bunch of #1 hits in a row with not great longevity would be awful. Imagine a #1 hit being out of the Top 50 after 11 weeks, that's what would of happened to ME! if Old Town Road didn't exist. |

If the seven (or at least five) songs blocked by OTR had reached #1 we would be discussing how easy it is to have a #1 hit in 2019 and how it doesn't feel as special as it was a few years ago. Sometimes as a fan it sucks (hey Mona Lisa!), but #1 is special and it's better when it's harder to reach the top. |

Lil Nas X dropped a shortened version of the OTR music video called the “17 Week” edition. He’s stopping at nothing

If a young gay black man featuring a 57 year old country singer performing a western-themed song with a hip-hop beat over top of a Nine Inch Nails song breaks the record for longest running #1, well I think that’d be pretty damn great. And something no one could’ve ever predicted.
None of this stuff is actually important, so when something weird like this happens I think y’all should take it as the fun chart oddity that it is.

Oh boo hoo, he is releasing multiple remixes to secure the longest #1 of all time. I'm sure if you or anyone else for that matter were in his position you'd be doing the same.
Rooting for this to get week 17, A gay man of colour with the longest running #1 of all time? I am here for it. Go Lil Nas X!

When a major, established artist pulls all the gimmicks Lil Nas X is currently pulling to extend their stay at #1, I better not see anyone in here complaining.

I guess Despacito proved you don’t need to be quality to get people to root for you, so go Lil Nas X. To be honest, I’m rooting for Billy Ray Cyrus even more, and NIN as well even though they’re only credited as writers.

It just takes away from it seeing him do all these things to ensure he does. |

Can't help but think what would have happened if Billie and her team tried this hard for a #1. Like multiple remixes, videos and etc. Would it have worked? Or will it finally hit #1 if Lil Nas doesn't go for 20 weeks?
