The record is the rapper’s most critically acclaimed project yet.
Since Lil Nas X’s long-awaited Montero was released in the early hours of Friday, the rapper’s debut studio album has received high praise in music reviews, driving the record to become Lil Nas X’s most critically acclaimed project yet. On Friday afternoon, Montero was listed as Apple Music’s second-highest charting album after Drake’s Certified Lover Boy, which dropped two weeks ago and has dominated the charts since. Montero ’s second single, “Industry Baby,” was ranked #12 on the Apple’s singles charts, following 11 songs from Drake’s new album. Lil Nas X took to social media to poke fun at NME’s review of Montero, which rated his album three out of five stars.
