END OF THE "ROAD," BILLIE GETS HER FIRST #1

UPDATE: After 19 weeks at the top of the Hot 100, Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" ends its record-breaking run as Billie Eilish earns her first #1 with "bad guy." The Darkoom/Interscope phenom spent nine weeks at #2, and re-fueled with a Justin Bieber-remix of the track on 7/11.

A late week push by Interscope for Eilish combined with what’s thought to be a shifting focus by Columbia to Lil Nas’ follow-up, Panini, could provide just the opening for Eilish to score her first #1.
