This is good news for fans of the female singer born in 2001, when “Bad Guy” continuously ranked second for many consecutive weeks.
Coming in second on the list is Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s “Senorita,” which leaves “Old Town Road” at No. 3 on the chart, after Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus broke the record held by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men (“One Sweet Day”) in 1995, and Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber (“Despacito”) in 2017, to become the artist with the longest-running No. 1 song in Billboard history.
“Bad Guy” is the title track of Billie Eilish’s first album “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?” – an album with a musical style that blends pop, electropop and trap, which was highly rated by Metacritic critics, with 81 points out of 100. “Bad Guy” is the first song to bring Billie Eilish into the top 10 of the prestigious US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and also helped the female singer set many impressive records in the world music industry when “touching the top” of the charts in many other countries such as the UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway…
