For the 12th consecutive week, Lil Nas X's unstoppable "Old Town Road" maintains the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. "Old Town Road" is now the 20th single in the history of the chart to achieve such a feat, Billboard reports. Unfortunately for Taylor Swift, this means she's been prevented from the top spot by the same song again.
Swift's latest single, "You Need to Calm Down," has debuted at No. 2 on the Hot 100, while her song "Me!" previously debuted behind "Old Town Road" at No. 2. In fact, as Chart Data points out on Twitter, "Old Town Road" has blocked six songs from reaching No. 1 since it first entered the chart in April.
Elsewhere on the chart, Drake's Rick Ross-featuring celebratory track "Money in the Grave" has debuted at No. 7. Earlier this month, Drizzy tied the Beatles for second-most top ten singles in the Hot 100, but now he's broken out of that tie with his 35th top ten entry. This also marks Rick Ross' highest peaking single on the Hot 100. "Omertà," the other Drake song that released this past month, has entered the chart at No. 35.
