Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” (Columbia) is paved with gold, as he rakes in another $398k to nip a formidable challenger on our latest Song Revenue Chart. That would be Republic superstar Taylor Swift, who has “ME!” to thank for her debut-week take of just under $350k.
Tay is the only new name in the Top 10, which contains nine holdovers, each of whom has a ton of staying power, Billie Eilish (Darkroom/Interscope) and the double-dipping Post Malone (Republic) comprising the rest of the Top 5. Khalid’s “Talk” (RCA), the second-newest track on the leaderboard, is its lone gainer at +1%.
UMG, as usual, hogs the lion’s share of the Top 50 with 56%, followed by Sony Music with 23%, two percentage points above WMG.
