“As It Was” is the #1 song in America for a 15th nonconsecutive week. As Billboard reports, Harry Styles’ signature hit now holds sole position of fourth on the list of longest-running Hot 100 chart-toppers, breaking a tie with seven other hit songs. It moreover becomes the longest-running #1 hit by a solo versifier and the longest-running #1 by a British act. If it spends flipside week at the summit, it will move into a tie with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s “One Sweet Day” and Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber’s “Despacito” for second all-time. Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” set the record at 19 weeks in 2019.
