[twelvevinylrecords]

Thank god it's over. Congrats Billie!

[Az Paynter]

Does this mean that OTR's record for blocking the most songs at #2 has also been spoiled? Because now that Billie actually did it, and ShawnMila is in a prime position to replace her, that's two songs it 'blocked' that will have now been able to get over that hurdle.

[thegreatdivine]

Señorita is definitely hitting #1 next week.

Billie Eilish's 'Bad Guy' Hits No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100, Dethroning Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' After Record 19 Weeks on Top
8/19/2019 by Gary Trust

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.

"Bad Guy" additionally claims the honor of conquering the longest-leading Hot 100 all-time, as it halts the 19-week domination of Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.

Let's run down the top 10 of the Hot 100 (dated Aug. 24), which blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and digital sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Aug. 20).



"Bad Guy," released on Darkroom/Interscope Records and written by Eilish and Finneas O'Connell (her brother), who solely produced it, becomes the 1,087th No. 1 in the Hot 100's 61-year history.

The song rises 4-3 on the Streaming Songs chart, up 10% to 39.1 million U.S. streams in the week ending Aug. 15, according to Nielsen Music, and 7-6 on Digital Song Sales, up 11% to 20,000 sold in the same span; it was aided on the last day of the streaming and sales tracking period by the arrival of a new vertical video, as well as a cassette single available only through Eilish's official website. On the Radio Songs chart, the track drops 3-6, down 3% to 93 million audience impressions in the week ending Aug. 18.


No. 1 after record 9 weeks waiting at No. 2: "Bad Guy" tops the Hot 100 after nine nonconsecutive weeks at No. 2, the most weeks spent at the runner-up spot before leading the list. It passes The Weeknd's "Starboy," Justin Bieber's "Sorry" and OutKast's "The Way You Move" (featuring Sleepy Brown), each of which ruled after eight-week waits at No. 2 before leading at last in 2017, 2016 and 2004, respectively.

Alt back at No. 1: "Bad Guy" tallies a second week atop the Pop Songs airplay chart (thanks in part during its run to a remix with Bieber), after leading the Alternative Songs airplay survey for two weeks. It's the first Alternative Songs No. 1 to top the Hot 100 since Lorde's "Royals," which ruled the Hot 100 for nine weeks beginning in October 2013, after leading Alternative Songs for seven weeks.

21st century leader: Born Dec. 18, 2001, Eilish is the first artist born in the 2000s to top the Hot 100. Lil Nas X previously came closest to the distinction, having been born April 9, 1999. Eilish, 17, is the youngest artist to reign since Lorde, who was 16 when "Royals" began its nine-week command.

No. 1 album & song: "Bad Guy" is from Eilish's LP When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which debuted at No. 1 on the April 13-dated Billboard 200 albums chart and has led the list for three total weeks. She first reached a Billboard survey in October 2017, while, the next month, her 2017 set Dont Smile at Me entered the Billboard 200 at No. 185; it has since reached No. 14 (and ranked in the chart's top 40 every week of 2019; When We All Fall Asleep has placed in the top five in each of its first 20 weeks).

"I'm in the good old days right now," Eilish marveled in a May Billboard cover story.

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello climb 3-2 on the Hot 100 with "Señorita," as the duet returns to its peak rank, first reached upon its debut in nearly July. The collaboration surges 7-3 on Radio Songs (96.1 million, up 7%) and rises 5-4 on both Streaming Songs (36.2 million, up 4%) and Digital Song Sales (23,000 downloads sold, up 4%).

Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Cyrus, drops to No. 3 on the Hot 100 after its record 19 weeks at No. 1. Still, it becomes the first single to top Streaming Songs for 20 weeks (53.1 million, down 10%). It rules Digital Song Sales for a 16th week (26,000, down 23%), moving to within one week of the record: Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Bieber, dominated for 17 weeks in 2017. On Radio Songs, "Road" falls 21-28 (34.2 million, down 13%).

"Road" additionally tops the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a record-extending 20th week each and the Songs of the Summer chart for a 12th frame, having led the list each week since its annual return after Memorial Day.

("Road," as of this week, kept a record six songs peaking at No. 2 during its No. 1 run, with "Bad Guy" having now risen from a No. 2 high to the summit. The titles to reach No. 2 below "Road," listed chronologically by peak date: Post Malone's "Wow."; Taylor Swift's "ME!," featuring Brendon Urie; Mendes' "If I Can't Have You"; Ed Sheeran and Bieber's "I Don't Care"; Swift's "You Need to Calm Down"; and Mendes and Cabello's "Señorita.")

Lizzo's "Truth Hurts" is steady at its No. 4 Hot 100 high and Khalid's No. 3-peaking "Talk" keeps at No. 5, while ruling Radio Songs for a 10th week (123.6 million, down 5%) and Hot R&B Songs for a 17th frame.

Chris Brown's "No Guidance," featuring Drake, repeats at its No. 6 Hot 100 peak and Sheeran and Bieber's "Care" is stationary at No. 7.

Lil Tecca's "Ran$om" reaches a new No. 8 Hot 100 high, rising from No. 10 with top Streaming Gainer honors, as it pushes 3-2 on Streaming Songs (43.3 million, up 18%); Post Malone's "Goodbyes," featuring Young Thug, holds at No. 9 on the Hot 100, after debuting at its No. 3 best; and, rounding out the top 10, Mendes' "If I Can't Have You" returns to the tier (11-10).

We love an icon and a future legend. Scoring achievements with a debut album that some people never score over the course of a career and all before her 18th birthday. Billie's life is so cool. Can't imagine how psyched she must feel right now.

[brady47]

Wait - so just 1 day of a vertical video and a cassette was enough to hit #1?

That's crazy perfect timing, considering "bad guy" dropped 3-6 on airplay this week.

Congrats Billie!!

[Deleted]

I'm glad Bad Guy hit #1 this week but it's a shame that the #1 streaming & sales song is #3 on the Hot 100

[Deleted]

Congratz to Billie Eilish for getting her first #1, she really surprised a lot of us here.

[Kris]

bad guy is a dreadfully awful song and her whole vibe creeps me out, but I'm glad someone finally replaced OTR.

All we need now is for “OTR” to have a “In My Feelings” size DROP out the top ten and all will be good in the world!

💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿💃🏿

I want “Truth Hurts” to hit number one now... 🙏🏿

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

Wow! Headline Planet was right.

[twelvevinylrecords]

Senorita number 1 next week, then Truth hurts the week after ya heard it here first

[KeepDeanWeird]

Sweet! So glad BG made it. Wasn't expecting OTR to drop to #3. Didn't Simon have it at like a 40-point (15%) lead over #2 and #3?

Let the 1-week #1s begin!

[Deleted]

Wow!!! I'm so shocked, I thought Nas X had this and he fell to 3, wow! Go Billie, that's great patience it had to stay at number 2 for so long. Didn't expect this, great shocker this week.

[Gary]

Just for fun the Chartbeat writeup from 20 weeks ago also involving Bad Guy and Old Town Road in the headline




Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' Leaps to No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
4/8/2019 by Gary Trust


Plus, Billie Eilish earns first her top 10 with "Bad Guy," from her first Billboard 200 No. 1 album, "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?"

Lil Nas X blasts from No. 15 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with his debut hit and viral smash "Old Town Road."
Plus, Billie Eilish scores her first Hot 100 top 10, as "Bad Guy" bounds onto the chart at No. 7. The song is her from album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which launches as her first No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

Additionally, Ariana Grande's "7 Rings," which falls to No. 3 on the Hot 100 after eight weeks at No. 1, becomes her first leader on the Radio Songs chart.
Let's run down the top 10 of the newest Hot 100 (dated April 13), which blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and digital sales data. All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (April 9).




"Old Town Road" becomes the 1,086th No. 1 in the Hot 100's 60-year history. Here's a look at highlights of the list's new leader by Atlanta native Lil Nas X, whose real name is Montero Lamar Hill; he was born April 9, 1999, and, thus, celebrates his 20th birthday tomorrow with a host of chart honors to unwrap.


No. 1 in streaming: "Road" roars to No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, from No. 7, up 60% to 46.6 million U.S. streams in the week ending April 4, according to Nielsen Music. The song wins the Hot 100's top Streaming Gainer award for a third consecutive week.
"Road" also rises 11-3 on Digital Song Sales, surging by 83% to 22,000 downloads sold in the week ending April 4, as it claims top Sales Gainer honors for the second time in three weeks.

The song additionally gains by 190% to 11.9 million all-format audience impressions in the week ending April 7, as it continues to approach the Radio Songs chart.

Debut 'Moves': While Lil Nas X is the first artist to take an initial Hot 100 entry to No. 1 since Bradley Cooper just five weeks earlier, thanks to Cooper's duet "Shallow" with Lady Gaga, Lil Nas X is the first artist unaccompanied by another act to top the Hot 100 on a first try since Cardi B, whose "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)" spent three weeks at No. 1 in October 2017.

Lil Nas X is the first male artist (in a lead role) to lead the Hot 100 in a first visit since Desiigner took "Panda" to the top for two weeks in May 2016.

15 to 1: "Road" makes the second-biggest jump to No. 1 on the Hot 100 this year. "Shallow" soared 21-1 following its win for best original song at the 91st Academy Awards.

Quick 'Road' to No. 1: "Road" reaches No. 1 on the Hot 100 in just its sixth week on the chart. While the song it replaces at the summit, Grande's "7 Rings," debuted at No. 1, "Road" marks the fastest flight to No. 1 for an artist's debut entry (in a lead role) since Zayn's "Pillowtalk" opened on top in February 2016.

As Zayn was already known as a former member of powerhouse boy band One Direction, Lil Nas X makes the swiftest ascent to No. 1 on the Hot 100 for an act with no prior Hot 100 history at all since Baauer blasted in at the top spot with his five-week leader "Harlem Shake" in March 2013.
Columbia in command: After buzz began building for "Road," Lil Nas X signed with Columbia Records. Now, the label boasts its first Hot 100 No. 1 since The Chainsmokers' "Closer," featuring Halsey, reigned for 12 weeks from September through November 2016.

"Road" is the first debut Hot 100 No. 1 for an artist on Columbia since OMI's "Cheerleader" stood atop the chart's pyramid for six weeks in 2015.

NIN at No. 1: As "Road" samples Nine Inch Nails' track "34 Ghost IV," from the industrial rock band's 2008 album Ghosts I–IV, NIN's Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross sport co-writing and co-producing credit on "Road." (Lil Nas X also earns a writing credit, while YoungKio additionally claims producer credit.)
Reznor and Ross make their first trip to No. 1 on the Hot 100 as writers and producers. As a band, NIN hit a No. 17 Hot 100 high in August 1999 with "The Day the World Went Away" (written and co-produced by Reznor).

No. 1 hip-hop & rap: "Road" concurrently becomes Lil Nas X's first No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, leaping from No. 7 on each list.

'Road' ahead: "Road" should benefit on next week's charts (dated April 20) thanks its new remix, featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, released Friday, April 5; data for the remix's first full tracking week will feed next week's tallies, which will reflect the streaming and sales week of April 5-11 (with both the remix and original version counting toward the song's singular chart placement).




Post Malone's former one-week Hot 100 leader "Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)," with Swae Lee, rebounds 3-2 and Grande's "7 Rings" descends to No. 3 after eight weeks at No. 1, her career-best rule among her two toppers; "Thank U, Next" led for seven weeks beginning in November.

Still, "7 Rings" becomes Grande's first No. 1 on Radio Songs, rising from No. 2 despite a 3% percent dip to 88.7 million in audience. Grande previously reached a No. 2 high on the chart with "Problem," featuring Iggy Azalea, in 2014 (and sent five subsequent singles to No. 3, including "Next").

Post Malone's solo single "Wow." drops to No. 4 on the Hot 100 from its No. 2 peak; Halsey's former two-week No. 1 "Without Me" falls 4-5; and Cardi B and Bruno Mars' "Please Me" retreats 5-6 after reaching No. 3.



Billie Eilish notches her first Hot 100 top 10, as "Bad Guy" vaults onto the chart at No. 7. The song is her from album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, which arrives as her first Billboard 200 No. 1. She outdoes her prior best Hot 100 rank, as fellow Asleep song "Bury a Friend" reached No. 14 in February.
After the official video for "Bad Guy" premiered March 29, the song starts at No. 2 on Streaming Songs with 34.7 million U.S. streams. On Digital Song Sales, the track enters at No. 7 (16,000 sold).

"Bad Guy" is one of five songs that Eilish places in the Hot 100's top 40, joined by "Friend" (41-25); current pop radio single "When the Party's Over" (a re-entry at No. 29, a new high); "Wish You Were Gay" (84-31); and "Xanny" (new at No. 35). (She had previously appeared in the top 40 only with "Friend.")

Jonas Brothers' "Sucker," which started as the trio's first No. 1 on the March 16-dated Hot 100, lifts 9-8, while achieving top Airplay Gainer honors for a fourth week. The track becomes the group's first Radio Songs top 10, pushing 12-8 (69 million, up 24%).
Marshmello and Bastille's No. 2 Hot 100 hit "Happier" backtracks 6-9, while ruling the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 29th week, and J. Cole's No. 4-peaking Hot 100 hit "Middle Child" slips 7-10.

In essence, yes, but it’s not as if the numbers in each metric are so spread out compared to a few weeks ago.

“OTR” is rapidly freefalling in Radio (and Radio Airplay is very strong in the current formula) and the gap with its sales to “Bad Guy” is a mere 6K units and that gap will only shorten next week.

“OTR” has also fallen from the top spot in on-demand streams this week which means that YouTube is its primary base now.

In all honesty, it was time for a new number one song.

[Zach]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[HolidayGuy]

If "Senorita" hits No. 1, it won't have overtaken OTR for the top spot. Thus, OTR technically kept six tracks from hitting No. 1 during its run.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

So did Old Town Road tie or set a new low for a #1 in Digital Song Sales?
