[DISCUSSION] Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus' "Old Town Road" is now the longest running #1 hit in Hot 100 history (17 weeks).

Now he has the longest running #1 hit of all time.

What do you guys think about this situation ? Do you think it's a big step for hiphop culture ? Do you think he deserves it ? Let's discuss, i wonder what y'all think.

Also:

It breaks the record previously held by "One Sweet Day" & "Despacito."
The song has now surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify (all versions).
He is the first and only artist to spend 17 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 with one track.
Billy Ray Cyrus is the first artist to earn a 16 week #1 single and a 16 week #1 album in US chart history.
