Lizzo’s ‘Truth Hurts’ is 100% the No. 1 song in the country

Back in April, a few minutes before Lizzo finished her performance during Coachella’s second weekend, she directly addressed the crowd that spilled out on all sides of the Mojave Tent.

“As a big black woman in the industry I don’t see many women like me on the Billboard charts or at the Grammys or playing Coachella,� she said, flute in hand, tears welling in the corners of her eyes.

Now, five months later, Lizzo sits atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart as her empowering “Truth Hurts� rises from No. 3 to the top spot, two years after its initial release.

The bump comes after her galvanizing medley at the MTV Video Music Awards last week, and tops off a breakthrough year for the 31-year-old rapper-singer.

Originally released in 2017, “Truth Hurts� received a major boost when it was included in the Netflix rom-com “Someone Great,� which coincided with Lizzo show-stopping gig at at April’s Coachella.

Lizzo has wheeled her magic both on the road (her sold-out tour is currently moving across the States on its second leg) and at award shows like the BET Awards — where she performed “Truth Hurts� as a jilted bride — and the VMAs, where she was backed by an inflatable derriere and a cadre of dancers.

“This is a [win] for all of us. Anybody who ever felt like they voice wasn’t heard. Anybody who felt like they weren’t good enough. You Are. We Are,� she wrote in an emotional post on social media Tuesday morning. Cardi B. tweeted her congratulations.

“Truth Hurts� becomes the third different song to reach No. 1 in the past three weeks, following the historic 19-week run of Lil Nas X’s breakout single “Old Town Road.� Lizzo replaces Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello’s duet “Señorita,� which took the pole position from Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy.�
