Singer-songwriter and everyone's flute-playing goddess Lizzo just nabbed her first #1 on the Billboard Hot 100!

Yup, after being on the chart for 17 weeks and rising two spots from its previous peak at #3, the LGBTQ+ ally's 2017 track "Truth Hurts" officially took the top spot on Billboard's most highly-regarded music chart, beating out the likes of Lil Nas X, Billie Eilish, Shawn Mendes, and Camila Cabello.
