SONG REVENUE CHART:
A NEW HORSE RACE

For the first time since income taxes were due, Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” has registered weekly earnings south of $300k. The game-changing record’s slippage coincides with the initial appearance of a pair of challengers: Drake’s NBA Finals-triggered “Money in the Grave” f/Rick Ross, and “You Need to Calm Down,” the latest from fellow Republic megastar Taylor Swift.

Drizzy’s track finished with $234.9k—only $32.4k behind “Road,” while Tay’s single registered a robust $215.3. This turn of events brings some drama to our updated Song Revenue Chart; namely, will either or both of these new challengers overtake Nas, and if so, when?

It's also worth noting that Drake's other new track, "Omerta," debuted at #9 with $114.1k, bringing his weekly total to $349k—which is $458k in Canadian dollars.
