"Road" bests the previous record of 16 weeks first achieved by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day," in 1995-96, and later matched by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber in 2017.

I think it's a pretty fun song, great concept, genre fusion, meaningful lyrics in the context of the artist's career and what's he achieved, sounds good too. Deserves to be a hit tbh.

It's contemporary, middle of the road "pop" music with all the power of social media behind it. Nothing to panic about. Good for him.
