Juanes achieves a sixth week at Number 1 with “La Camisa Negra”, making his hit song the longest-running Number 1-hit by a male solo artist

It is no surprise that Juanes has scored the hit of the summer with “La Camisa Negra”, but this week, Juanes claims another incredible feat. “La Camisa Negra” is now the longest-running Number 1 by a male solo artist, as the single has claimed six consecutive weeks at the crown position. The record was previously held by “Geef Mij Je Angst” by Guus Meeuwis and “María” by Ricky Martin, which both held five weeks at Number 1. The longest-running Number 1 by a male artist - either in group formation or on a collaboration – are “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys, “Het Is Een Nacht” by Guus Meeuwis and his band Vagant, “Cray In Love” by Beyoncé with Jay-Z as a feature, and “Back For Good” by Take That. All those songs have eight weeks at Number 1.
