also - SERIOUSLY? this is the longest #1 ever? -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 11:06 6
- With streaming factored in, the list of longest-running number 1s has some recency biased, but novelty songs have always been there. - ty97 Jul 29, 11:23 5
  - it's just not a good song. -- nm - Andie Jul 29, 11:58
  - Of 38 songs with 10 weeks or longer at #1, 25 are post-2000. 13 are post-2010. So 1/3 are from this decade. -- nm - ty97 Jul 29, 11:24 3
    - bonus stat: only 2 of the 38 songs are pre-1990 -- nm* - ty97 Jul 29, 11:26 2
      - I could have sworn the record pre-End of the Road (1992) was only 9 weeks since that broke Elvis' record. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 29, 12:10
      - bonus bonus stat: Drake is on their 3 times. Boyz II Men 3 times (once with Mariah). Mariah twice (once with B2M), Santana twice. -- nm - ty97 Jul 29, 11:32
