This week we want to congratulate American rapper and singer Lil Nas X for scoring his 1st Number 1 on OLT20 with "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)". First previewed in a Super Bowl commercial in February 2021, the song is the title track from Lil Nas X's upcoming debut album Montero, which is expected for release sometime next month. The song is noted for its queer themes, including its sexually explicit homosexual lyrics, taking its name from the gay romance novel and film “Call Me by Your Name”. "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100, giving Lil Nas X his second number-one hit on the chart after "Old Town Road".
All details on this week’s Chart can also be found on both the OLT20 Mobile App & OLT20 website at www.olt20.com
On this 20th Chart of the year we only have 2 New Entries. The highest one “Save Your Tears” comes in at Number 19 from Canadian singer the Weeknd (originally taken from his fourth studio album “After Hours” - 2020) alongside American singer Ariana Grande. Our second New Entry comes in at Number 20 by Lebanese singer Elissa with “Ya Am Salamtak”.
