Billboard Magazine reports:
Lil Nas X launches at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart with “Montero (Call Me by Your Name).”
The song, propelled by its buzzy official video, is his second Hot 100 No. 1, after his breakthrough smash “Old Town Road,” featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, reigned for a record 19 weeks in 2019.
“Montero,” released March 26 on Columbia Records, is the 1,120th No. 1 in the Hot 100’s 62-year history. It’s the 51st single to debut at No. 1, and Lil Nas X’s first.
Credit, in part, for this achievement goes to Candace Owens, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, and all the other right wingers who screamed the existence of the track into the general public’s awareness.
