At five weeks on top, "Again" is the longest-ruling rap No. 1 on the Hot 100 by a lead solo male in nearly five years: Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie," featuring Rihanna, spent seven weeks at No. 1 in 2010.
They misread it on the little show they did and said that it was the longest reigning #1 from a solo rapper since Eminem & Rihanna. So much about that didn't make sense, but I'm glad the article was spot on.
