Rapper-singer-songwriter Lil Nas X has all the reasons to celebrate. His latest single 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name)', which has been making headlines over the past week, debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart on Monday, April 5. The song released on March 26 and this makes his second Hot 100 No. 1 after his megahit 'Old Town Road' that set the record of 19 weeks in 2019.
"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," Lil Nas X wrote on Twitter on Monday. "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."
The song earned 46.9 million U.S. streams and sold 21,000 downloads in the week ending April 1. It also attracted 1.1 million radio airplay audience impressions in the week ending April 4.

The music video will soon reach 100 million views mark. After the release of the music video on March 26, Lil Nas X, whose real name Montero Lamar Hill, penned a letter to his 14-year-old self. “Dear 14-year-old Montero, I wrote a song with our name in it. It’s about a guy I met last summer. I know we promised to never come out publicly, I know we promised to never be ‘that’ type of gay person, I know we promised to die with the secret, but this will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist. You see this is very scary for me, people will be angry, they will say I’m pushing an agenda. But the truth is, I am. The agenda to make people stay the fuck out of other people’s lives and stop dictating who they should be. Sending you love from the future. -LNX," he wrote.
