Cool to see ‘I Don’t Care’ hang in there for another week, but I think ‘Old Town Road’ might make it back to the top next time given how much it challenged Ed this week.
I like the debuts for ‘Cross Me’ & ‘One Touch’, but haven’t heard the others just yet.

Ed released an acoustic version today of I Don't Care. I hope it keeps OTR (lol) from the top.

That might actually save it! Did he upload it to streaming services too?
I think 'Old Town Road [Remix]' should also naturally lose views in its second full week.
