Lil Nas X clearly sees the value in remixes.
Over the weekend, the "Old Town Road" rapper tweeted that deep down inside he 
wants to release another remix of his No. 1 smash. A confession that prompted reactions 
from legendary pop diva Mariah Carey and rock band Smash Mouth… 
With Mariah suggesting the viral country-trap song be mashed up with "One Sweet Day," 
her 1995 mega-hit with Boyz II Men, and Smash Mouth replying simply with "let's do it." 
And of course, Nas X is down. He wrote back, "Ok mariah carey lets get this remix in."
Last week, "Old Town Road" celebrated its 14th week atop the Billboard Hot 100, with 
13 of those weeks including featured remix guest Billy Ray Cyrus. Only two songs have 
surpassed 14 weeks atop the chart. Mariah and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day” 
and Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's 2017 hit featuring Justin Bieber, "Despacito,” 
both hold the record, with 16 weeks. 
Is “Old Town Road” is about to be right up there with them? We’ll have to see.
