Nelly's new single, "Over And Over," featuring Tim McGraw, has helped the country superstar earn some more space in the music history books. The track debuts at Number 67 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks Chart, while simultaneously taking the Number One position on the Mainstream Top 40 Chart. These achievements are history-making firsts. A country artist has never appeared on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Track chart, nor has a country artist ever been part of a chart-topping Mainstream Top 40 hit.
"Over And Over" also sits at Number Five on the Billboard Hot 100 and leaps from Number Seven to Number One on the Mainstream Top 40 Chart, breaking multiple records, including the largest positional jump to the top of the chart and the biggest spin increase for a Number One song (+1,783 detections). In its fourth chart week, "Over And Over" also ties the record for the quickest ascent by any song to Number One, giving Nelly his fourth chart-topping hit.
Back over on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, McGraw's latest single, "Back When," is a Top 10 hit.
The superstar will be part of a press conference taking place Monday (November 1) in Nashville regarding arena football.
