The Weeknd's 19th week at the top of Radio Songs breaks 22 year record

[jonjon2000]

"It might not be as recognizable a Billboard chart record as Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men setting the then-Billboard Hot 100 endurance mark in the mid-'90s with the 16-week reign of "One Sweet Day" -- but the Goo Goo Dolls' 18-week record run atop the Radio Songs tally with "Iris" in 1998 was just as impressive, and lasted for nearly as long."

"After 22 years, though, the historic radio dominance of the Goos' City of Angels soundtrack single has been overtaken by a new four-quadrant smash: "Blinding Lights," the fifth Hot 100 No. 1 for pop superstar The Weeknd. This week, the song spends its 19th week atop the Radio Songs tally, passing "Iris" and moving into sole possession of the record for the chart's longest-reigning No. 1 since its introduction in 1990." - Billboard

""Blinding Lights" has proven to be the right song at the right time for total 2020 radio omnipresence... 'Blinding Lights' is one of those special, melodic, mass-appeal songs with… I don’t know that during a pandemic, you want to be so sad and 'the world is ending,"

Not sure how is radio in the US, but while I was stuck in Peru the past 5 months (thanks COVID), most radio stations kept on playing this song daily several times. (My mom loves to hear radio just to have background noise) so something similar might be in the US

This is just another proof of Max Martin's magic/talent, and relevance after more than 30+ years in the industry

Wow, impressive. I’m happy for him though. The Weeknd is definitely an artist that’s worthy of the hype imo.

[Jordan Miller]

Well deserved!! He's a legend

Wow amazing I had no idea this song has max martins involvement but now it makes sense .

Abel and Max Martin create fire together

I like The Weekend and love After Hours but I feel that he’s an MJ rip off  all that’s missing is Abel dancing

Wow I didn’t even realize this album was that successful.  I loved star boy and all his older stuff.  I might have to give this new album a listen.
