- Lil Nas X continues to dominate 2019.
His record-breaking hit song Old Town Road
featuring Billy Ray Cyrus
has officially reached Diamond status,
which means it sold
over 10 million copies.
Now the craziest part is
that it accomplished the feat
in only 11 months, which is
the fastest song in history
to reach this milestone.

♪ You can't tell me nothin' ♪
- Now as you may recall back in July,
Old Town Road broke the
record for the most time spent
atop the Billboard Hot 100,
sitting at number one for a
whopping 19 weeks in a row.
It also has been remixed numerous times.
Just to give you some context,
Lil Nas X joins other
artists such as Bruno Mars,
Justin Beiber, Eminem, and Lady Gaga,
who have also reached Diamond status.
