Lil Nas X scores second Official Irish Singles Chart Number 1 with Montero (Call Me By Your Name)

Lil Nas X lands straight in at Number 1 on this week’s Official Irish Singles Chart with Montero (Call Me By Your Name).

The US singer and rapper’s provocative new single has been the talk of the internet all week, with its devilish official music video going viral. Lil Nas X previously spent four weeks at Number 1 in 2019 with Old Town Road.

Meanwhile, Cardi B’s Up hits the Top 10 for the first time this week, lifting one place to Number 10. There’s also a new peak for Australian rapper Masked Wolf with Astronaut in the Ocean, rising two spots to Number 15.

Storming into the Top 20 thanks to her 550,000-strong following on TikTok is English singer-songwriter Mimi Webb with Good Without at 17. British rappers Russ Millions and Tion Wayne also make a huge impression this week, new at 20 with Body.

Tom Grennan has two songs claim personal bests this week, as his Ella Henderson collaboration Let’s Go Home Together jumps three slots (27), and Little Bit Of Love vaults seven positions (33).

Boosted by the release of her new EP Diet Baby, County Meath singer-songwriter CMAT – real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson – makes her Top 50 debut with I Don’t Really Care For You at Number 34. The song also charges to Number 1 on the Official Irish Homegrown Chart, becoming her first female solo artist to top the chart since its May 2019 inception.

Taylor Swift scores her landmark 40th Irish Top 50 single with From The Vault track You All Over Me (35), and Maroon 5’s new single Beautiful Mistakes with Megan Thee Stallion enters the Top 50 for the first time (47).
