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

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.
"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.

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).

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%).
 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).
