Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” is continuing to break records, as it became the first song of 2019 to be certified diamond.
Diamond certification is for albums or singles that sell at least 10,000,000 units. “Old Town Road“ previously occupied the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 19 consecutive weeks, making it the longest-running number-one single in history.
Other artists who have achieved diamond success are Justin Bieber (‘Baby’), Elton John (‘Candle In The Wind’), Carly Rae Jepsen (‘Call Me Maybe’), Imagine Dragons (‘Radioactive’), Lady Gaga (‘Poker Face’, ‘Bad Romance’) and Florida Georgia Line (‘Cruise’).
