After 15 weeks at the top of the singles rankings, Harry Styles’ ‘As It Was’ has become the fourth longest-running number one in US chart history – and the longest by one single artist.
The song has scored a 15th week on top of the Billboard Hot 100, breaking the record previously held jointly by Mark Ronson and Sir Elton John.
Their hits, Uptown Funk and Candle In The Wind respectively, each spent 14 weeks in the chart’s top spot.
Styles is also currently at number one on the US cinema box office chart with his film ‘Don’t Worry Darling’.
The former One Direction star has followed in the footsteps of Eminem and Prince by becoming one of the few artists to have topped the music and box office charts simultaneously.
The movie, directed by Olivia Wilde, stars Florence Pugh and Chris Pine. It took a healthy $19.2m (£17.7m) on its opening weekend in North America.
The film has enjoyed significant publicity in recent weeks, thanks to media reports of behind-the-scenes drama and off-screen feuds during its production.
Old Town Road by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus holds the overall record of 19 weeks.
Despacito by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber, and One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, each reigned for 16 weeks.
