“bruno we can tell them about your remix now bro,” Lil Nas X responded, hinting at a collab between the two, possibly as a joke, though nothing is confirmed yet.
“Old Town Road” has also passed The Black Eyed Peas’ “I Gotta Feeling,” Mariah Carey’s “We Belong Together,” Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind 1997″/”Something About the Way You Look Tonight,” Los Del Rio’s “Macarena (Bayside Boys Mix),” Boyz II Men’s “I’ll Make Love to You” and Whitney Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” all of which also dominated the Hot 100 for 14 weeks each.
The infectious tune is one week away from potentially tying Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” featuring Justin Bieber and Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” for the longest run atop the Hot 100 all-time.
