Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” with Billy Ray Cyrus is now the most certified song in RIAA history. The viral rap star shared on Twitter that the single, released in 2019, won 14x Platinum, which supplanted ‘All of Me’ by John Legend and ‘Despacito’ by Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi and Justin Bieber, who both won 13x Platinum certified. .
The RIAA’s single certification guidelines were revised in 2013 to count streams for the award of gold and platinum. In 2019, “Old Town Road” broke the record for most weeks at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 card, which was in first place for a total of 19 weeks before being put down by Billie Eilish’s ‘bad guy’. The song was recorded at his debut 7 EP. Last year he released the ‘Holiday’ produced single Take a Daytrip.
