Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' Leaps to No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

Quote

"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.

 

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.

Billie Eilish's 'When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart

Billie Eilish scores her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? storms in atop the tally with 313,000 equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 4, according to Nielsen Music, scoring the second-largest week of 2019 for any album. Of the album’s starting sum, 170,000 were in album sales, the second-largest sales week for an album this year.

 

Third-Biggest Streaming Week Ever for an Album by a Woman: Of When We All Fall Asleep’s starting total unit sum of 313,000 units, SEA units comprised 137,000 units. That latter total translates to 194 million on-demand audio streams for the album’s songs during its debut week. That figure represents the third-biggest streaming week for an album by a woman, following the debut weeks of Thank U, Next (307.07 million) and Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy (202.65 million; chart dated April 21, 2018).

 

Youngest Woman at No. 1 Since 2009: Eilish is the first artist born in the 2000s to have a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. (Her birth date is Dec. 18, 2001.) At just 17 years and 3 months old, she is the youngest artist to hit No. 1 since 2015, when a then 16-year-old Shawn Mendes topped the chart dated May 2, 2015 with Handwritten. (Mendes was 16 years and eight months old at the time.) Eilish is the youngest woman to reach No. 1 since Demi Lovato debuted at No. 1 on the Aug. 8, 2009-dated chart with Here We Go Again, when she was 16 years and 11 months old.

DESERVED.

 

Talent, good music, unique image, stellar visuals. She carved her own space and people noticed her. I fell in love after my first listen of bury a friend, and was hooked after experiencing Bellyache. So excited to see where she goes from here
