cliche_display Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 (edited) The male/female co-lead with the most chart longevity in the Hot 100's 62 year history is maybe not the first duet that comes to mind. For all of their excellence and chart scaling prowess: The coed duet with the most chart staying power was not life-giving "Shallow" performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper for the Oscar-Award-wining remake of "A Star is Born", recent global Latin pop No. 1 by Shawn Mendes and his senorita, or even any variety of last century chart-toppers like Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" or Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". Interestingly enough, no other male/female co-lead has had more Hot 100 chart longevity than the sleeper hit below ( brought to life by a Billboard Music Awards performance 2 years ago ): Spoiler Appearing on 51 consecutive weekly Hot 100 frames, no male/female lead has charted longer in the 60+ year history of the weekly Billboard chart than "Love Lies" by Khalid and Normani. Americans especially, couldn't go a year without hearing this in their cars, playing at retailers, or bumping into it at big summer festivals.
