RS Charts: Lil Nas X Returns to Number One on Top 100


Lil Nas Xs Old Town Road regained the Number One spot on the Top 100 on Monday. The track was temporarily dethroned last week by a strong opening week for Post Malones Goodbyes featuring Young Thug. But Old Town Road bounced back thanks to 21.1 million streams. Goodbyes dropped two spots to Number Three.

TheRolling StoneTop 100 chart tracks the most popular songs of the week in the United States. Songs are ranked by Song Units, a number that combines audio streams and song sales using a custom weighting system. The chart does not include passive listening like terrestrial radio or digital radio. TheRolling StoneTop 100 chart is updated daily, and each weekRolling Stonefinalizes and publishes an official version of the chart, covering the seven-day period ending with the previous Thursday.

The big winner on the latest Top 100 is Ed Sheeran, who debuts seven new songs from his No.6 Collaborations Project. Two of those landed inside the Top 20: South of the Border, which accumulated 10.2 million streams, and Remember the Name, which racked up 8.2 million streams.

Sheerans seven new entries join four of his older songs on the Top 100, so he singlehandedly accounts for 11 percent of the chart. Last week, the Dreamville Records compilation Revenge of the Dreamers IIIwas in a similar spot, with 12 different tracks on the Top 100. This week, however, nine of those 12 fell off the chart. The three Dreamville songs that listeners have kept in heavy rotation are Under the Sun, Down Bad, and Costa Rica.

A few other new songs debuted on the lower reaches of the Top 100 this week: Futures 100 Shooters with Meek Mill and Doeboy arrived at Number 50, while Kenny Chesneys Tip of My Tongue landed at Number 88.
