[GetBack]

To be fair, his EP is as popular as the single.

Congrats!

(And it‘s better than Despacito IMO so there‘s that)

I‘d be ok if it won‘t break the record though.

all 3 songs are good songs imo

[JeremySpears]

Someday, there will also be a single debuting at No. 1 and staying there longer. Just as you say, records are meant to be broken...

And hopefully it‘ll be a good one then

[marcsgirl85]

records are meant to be Broken though some seem as though they never will be which 16 weeks at #1 on The Hot 100 Chart seemed like it never would be just like N'sync's 2.42 million first week for No Strings Attached seemed unbreakable until Adele's 25 obliterated it nearly 16 years later the only difference with One Sweet Day is it debuted at #1 where old town road debuted at #83 on March 16th dated Hot 100 Chart

[BeeBoy]

I also think he'll remain a one hit wonder.

Panini already hit Top 20 though

[spiritboy]

I also think he'll remain a one hit wonder.

The more Mariah fans cry with her records being broken, the more it seems that all she has in her legacy are Billboard achievements. Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley records have been broken here and there but their songs are still remembered today. A real icon doesn't need the validation of chart statistics to justify their relevance.

Not all the fans are crying and dude Mariah has Hero, All I want for xmas (hello?), Always be my baby etc Mariah isn't crying at all, indeed she's ok with this.
Her billboard achievements are part of her, but don't discredit her for good

I think once OTR dies down, he’ll be done.

He’s literally a one-trick pony.

[GetBack]

I'm overwhelmed by the support Lil Nas X is getting from his team in terms of promoting 'Old Town Road' considering that it's his debut single and not even Lady Gaga, Adele or Taylor Swift had that at the peak of their career. They really seem to believe in him and it, additionally, looks like every promo step eventually pays off. Finally, Lil Nas X appears to be a person easy to hang out with judging by the amount of established acts wanting to collaborate with him. The pressure on single No. 2 will be extreme - Will it be a Katy Perry- (two big hits in a row), a PSY- (big hit, then small hit) or a Gotye-esque scenario (big hit, silence)?

Well, Gotye is out of the picture since he had a big hit but he is not an actual pop star with a label that wants him to release hit after hit.

Ed Sheeran's 'No. 6 Collaborations Project' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart
By Keith Caulfield | July 21, 2019

Lil Nas X’s 7 is steady at No. 4 with 50,000 units (up 3%).

[MENTION=32120]Tansike[/MENTION]: You don't see both songs reaching higher peaks? After all, 'Old Town Road' is still at No. 1 and therefore charting higher than both of them. It does happen, but it's rather rare that a subsequent single peaks when an earlier (e.g. lead) single is still actively charting higher.

[Tansike]

^ his second single Panini already peaked at #16. plus Rodeo also peaked at #22. So he already has two other songs with an okay peak at least.
