Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' Rules Billboard Hot 100 for Sixth Week; Shawn Mendes, Logic & Eminem Debut in Top Five

Lil Nas X extends his reign atop the Billboard Hot 100 to a sixth week with "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus.
Meanwhile, two songs launch on the Hot 100 in the top five: Shawn Mendes debuts at a career-best No. 2 rank with "If I Can't Have You" and Logic enters at No. 5 with "Homicide," featuring Eminem.
As on the Hot 100, "Road" leads the Streaming Songs chart for a sixth week, with 104.1 million U.S. streams (up less than 1%) in the week ending May 9, according to Nielsen Music. "Road" set the weekly streaming record following the April 5 arrival of its remix with Cyrus, and now claims five of the seven biggest streaming weeks ever. 
As "Road" marks Lil Nas X's first Hot 100 entry, he boasts the longest-leading debut No. 1 (among artists billed as leads) since OMI ruled for six weeks in 2015 with his first Hot 100 hit, "Cheerleader." No such rookie No. 1 has led longer since earlier in 2015, when Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk!," featuring Bruno Mars, dominated for 14 weeks beginning that January. (Before then, Ronson tallied two top 10s as a writer and producer, of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab," a No. 9 hit in 2007, and Mars' "Locked Out of Heaven," No. 1 for six weeks in 2012-13.)
"Road" concurrently adds a sixth week at No. 1 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts.

Mendes' "If I Can't Have You" soars in at a personal-best No. 2 on the Hot 100, as it opens at No. 2 on Digital Song Sales (64,000) and No. 8 on Streaming Songs (24 million) and bounds 43-27 on Radio Songs (35.7 million).
Logic's "Homicide" bounds in at No. 5 on the Hot 100, starting at No. 2 on Streaming Songs (36.3 million) and No. 3 on Digital Song Sales (42,000).
Logic lands his second Hot 100 top 10, after "1-800-273-8255," featuring Alessia Cara and Khalid (No. 3, September 2017). Eminem earns his 21st top 10, tying JAY-Z for the third-most top 10s among rappers, after Drake (33) and Lil Wayne (24).
