A round of matte-black Gucci cowboy hats for the whole bar, and a bunch of baby carrots for the guys in the back! After leaping from No. 15 to No. 1 on its āHot 100ā chart last week, Billboard now reports that Lil Nas Xās āOld Town Roadā officially had the biggest streaming week of all time. The previous record was set by Drakeās āIn My Feelingsā during the week of July 28, 2018, with 116.2 million listens. Lil Nas Xās country-rap fusion track? 143 million streamsĀ in the United States over the course of last week, as reported by Nielsen Music.
Interestingly, per Billboardās rules, both the original song and the Billy Ray Cyrus remix count toward the āOld Town Roadā streaming numbers. If Billboard starts counting every version by an older country star toward the songās total, like Keith Urbanās banjo rendition below, Drake will never psychologically recover.
