Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow‘s “INDUSTRY BABY” has moved up to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

According to Billboard, the MONTERO single — released in July — earned 64 million radio airplay audience impressions, 23.2 million U.S. streams and 34,300 downloads in the week ending October 14. “INDUSTRY BABY” marks Lil Nas X’s third No. 1 entry, Harlow’s first and, notably, Kanye West‘s fifth Hot 100 song as a co-writer and co-producer.

“IT TOOK A FEW MONTHS BUT WE HERE! THANK U EVERYBODY! INDUSTRY BABY IS THE NUMBER 1 SONG IN THE WORLD! LESSSSSGOOOOOO,” Lil Nas X shared on Twitter, sharing a clip of his live performance with Harlow and a behind-the-scenes look from August 2020. Meanwhile, the Kentucky rapper wrote, “My first number one… I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see this coming while I was writing my verse. This song is something I’m gonna be proud to be a part of for the rest of my life. Thank you for having me @LilNasX.”

Elsewhere in music, Drake’s Take Care is the third rap album to spend 450 weeks on the Billboard 200.
