“Old Town Road” and “ME!” are the top songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

Lil Nas X’s global sensation “Old Town Road (featuring Billy Ray Cyrus)” holds off Taylor Swift’s “ME! (featuring Brendon Urie)” to retain its #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100.

The song is celebrating a fifth week as America’s #1 overall song.

The Hot 100 ranks songs from all genres based on sales, streams and radio activity. “Old Town Road” remains a dominant streaming performer. It also enjoyed another week of big activity in the other two columns.

“ME!,” which debuted at #100 last week based exclusively on early airplay, vaults to #2 following its first full week in the market. It takes #1 on the Digital Song Sales chart, #2 on Streaming Songs and #13 on Radio Songs.
