What do we actually do with this information?
While Billboard violently refuses to acknowledge its own controversy in any report of this song... they compiled a list of records here. Problem is, in every achievement Nas X is only the second person (since a certain time period) to achieve these feats every time. Is it even worth noting? Trillfendi (talk) 01:07, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
- I think it is worth noting.--Democratic Backsliding (talk) 22:20, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

- ... that Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus' "Old Town Road" is the longest running number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 at 17 weeks?
- ALT1:... that "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus is the longest running number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100 at 17 weeks?
- Comment: Originally proposed this for ITN but no consensus was reached. Some pointed towards phrasing this story for DYK.

- Comment, just go with Alt 1 because it’s the grammatically correct version. Trillfendi (talk) 16:30, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
- Alt 1 is the best. --evrik (talk) 16:44, 31 July 2019 (UTC)

- @Evrik and Nice4What: is there something that I'm missing or I can't see that the article created or expanded 5x or promoted to Good Article within the seven days. Looking at the article history Nice4What has made edits however they aren't major edits (meaning not 5x expanded). Also in the review above it says it is new enough but I can see it was created back in March.___CAPTAIN MEDUSAtalk 12:08, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
- At the time I looked at it, I thought it grad grown sufficiently, more importantly, it had just crossed the threshold of being the longest #1. --evrik (talk) 19:39, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
Regrettably, this article simply does not qualify for DYK: it is not new, it was not expanded fivefold in the seven days prior to nomination (it went from 15256 prose characters to a current length of 15253, essentially flat), and it has not recently become a Good Article. Indeed, the article's only chance here at DYK is to at some point become a Good Article through the nomination process, and then be nominated again here within seven days of being approved. Whether a particular song has become a longest-running #1 or not is completely irrelevant to whether it qualifies for DYK, evrik, except perhaps in the making of a hook; the criteria involve newness and length/expansion within the newness period, plus a number of other things related to the hook, verifiability, neutrality, and so on. Nice4What, I hope you'll try again here at DYK with a newer article, or return with this one if it becomes a GA. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:58, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
