The star’s number one country-rap anthem, Old Town Road, has been awarded its 14th platinum certification in the United States, becoming the most certified single in history.
The title was previously held by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber’s reggaeton collaboration Despacito. In response to the news, Lil Nas X excitedly wrote on Twitter: “OLD TOWN ROAD IS OFFICIALLY 14 TIMES PLATINUM!
MOST PLATINUMS FOR ANY SONG EVER! LETS GOOO!” Old Town Road conquered the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 historic weeks last year, three weeks longer than the two previous record holders; Despacito and One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men.
