For the last 14 weeks, ‘As It Was’ – the megahit from Harry Styles’ #1 album ‘Harry’s House’ – has taken residence atop the Hot 100.

Penciled in history books for being the longest-running solo male #1 single this decade when it clocked its 12th week at the chart’s summit, last week it logged its 13th print at the top and became the longest-running solo male song of the century.

Now, the Kid Harpoon-helmed hit has its sights set on the all-time record.

Monday (September 19), the refreshed Billboard Hot 100 revealed ‘As It Was’ remained as it was last week and the 12 weeks before that:  at #1.  Here are the numbers that powered the stay.

• Streaming:  14.4 million streams
• Digital Download: 3000 units
• Radio Airplay: 68.2 million radio airplay audience impressions

Those figures not only helped secure Styles’ 14th week at #1 – his longest-running to date – but also helped him tie Elton John’s 1997 classic ‘Candle in the Wind’ for the record of lengthiest stay at the chart’s summit among solo males.

Among all acts, only a handful can say they have enjoyed a reign as long or longer. See the full list below.
