Mariah Carey ‘responds’ as huge Billboard Number One record is BROKEN by Lil Nas X

Mariah Careh has responded after Lil Nas X overtook her long-held Billboard Hot 100 record.
Her song One Sweet Day with Boyz II Men spent a total of 16 weeks at the summit in 1995-6, a feat that had - until now - gone unbroken.

After Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber matched her in 2017 with Despacito, now both songs have been overtaken, Express.co.uk reports.

Yesterday it was confirmed that Old Town Road by Lil Nas X by Billy Ray Cyrus has clocked up that all-important 17th week.

Carey has now spoken out on Twitter about the rapper’s huge achievement.
“Sending love & congrats to @LilNasX on breaking one of the longest running records in music history!” she wrote.

“We've been blessed to hold this record with a song that means a great deal to @BoyzIIMen and myself and has touched so many. Keep living your best life!”

She added: “One Sweet Day will always hold a special place in my heart and I want to thank anyone who's ever told me how this song has affected them and their loved ones.”
