Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road' Tops Hot 100 for a Hip-Hop Record 13th Week; Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello's 'Senorita' Debuts at No. 2

Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road," featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, leads the Billboard Hot 100 for a 13th week, rewriting the record for the longest reign ever for a hip-hop hit.

The track passes three such songs that led for 12 weeks each: "See You Again," by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth, in 2015; "Boom Boom Pow," by The Black Eyed Peas (2009); and "Lose Yourself," by Eminem (2002-03).
"Road" is also just the 12th single in the Hot 100's six-decade history to dominate for at least 13 weeks. It's the first since Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito" (featuring Justin Bieber), which spent a record-tying 16 weeks at No. 1 in 2017.

Meanwhile, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's "Señorita" bounds onto the chart at No. 2, marking their second shared hit. Plus, Mendes ties his best career rank set in May with "If I Can't Have You."

As previously reported, Lil Nas X's EP 7 debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 77,000 equivalent album units. The set, which features both the Cyrus and original Lil Nas X-only versions of "Road," also opens at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and Top Rap Albums charts.  Two other songs from the set debut on the Hot 100: "Panini" (No. 16) and "Rodeo" (with Cardi B; No. 22), marking Lil Nas X's second and third entries on the ranking.

Mendes and Cabello's "Señorita" surges in at No. 2 on the Hot 100. The song marks Mendes' fifth top 10 and earns him his first set of top 10s in consecutive chart visits, as he ties his best placement: "If I Can't Have You" debuted at its No. 2 high on the May 18-dated survey (and bullets at No. 14 this week). Cabello collects her fourth top 10 as a soloist (after earning one as a member of Fifth Harmony: "Work From Home," featuring Ty Dolla Sign, in 2016) and her second top two hit, after "Havana," featuring Young Thug, spent a week at No. 1 in January 2018.
