Mariah Carey Congratulates
Lil Nas X for Breaking Her
'Billboard' Record Carey congratulated Lil Nas X for overtaking her hit,
"One Sweet Day," as the longest-running number
one song on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 chart. The viral cowboy rapper's
mega-hit, "Old Town Road,"
has rolled into its
17th week at the top. Carey's 1995 duet with Boyz II Men
spent 16 weeks at number one. The 20-year-old star replied immediately and hailed
Mariah as a "legend and an icon" and admitted it was
surreal getting a message from his idol.
