Lil Nas X is definitely selling what we're buying!
As of today, "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" is officially Lil Nas X's second number one song on the Billboard charts. "Montero" had 46.9 million steams in its first weekend, and is Nas X's first song to debut at number one.
"Y'all told a 19 year old who had just escaped the lowest point of his life that he would never have a hit again," Nas tweeted, celebrating the milestone. "You told him to stop while he's ahead. He could've gave up. but 4 multi platinum songs and 2 #1's later, he's still here. thank you to my team and my fans! Ily."

When "Old Town Road" first started climbing the charts, many said that Lil Nas X was destined to be a one hit wonder. But Grammy Awards for Best Music Video and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, multiple platinum songs, and a second Billboard number one song are proving the haters wrong.
"Montero" hitting number one comes on the two year anniversary of the release of the "Old Town Road" remix featuring Billy Ray Cyrus. That song became the most streamed song in US history earlier this year. What an amazing way to celebrate the anniversary of the song.
Conservatives have reacted to the song and video, in which Nas pole dances to hell and gives Satan a lap dance before breaking his neck and stealing his crown, with a mix of shock, faux-outrage, and moral panic. But none of that has slowed down the song, or Lil Nas. "Y'all love saying we go to hell but get upset when I actually go there," he tweeted in response to conservatives claiming his video has a satanic, anti-Christian message.
Now, Lil Nas has been followed to Hell and back over 46 million times, earning another number one song. This is the gay agenda.
