Selena Gomez celebrates first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1

Selena Gomez‘s long awaited combeack ballad, Lose You to Love Me, is spending its second consecutive week on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart after debuting at No. 15.

This time around, however, it’s on top of the chart.

That’s right. For the first time in her decade-spanning music career, the 27-year-old pop star has just earned a No. 1 single.

The piano-heavy love track knocked Lewis Capaldi’s Someone You Loved off of the top spot of the chart after only spending a week there.

In wake of the news, Gomez took to Instagram stories to express her excitement.

“WHAT?! Omg!” she wrote. “Thank you SO much @billboardcharts for a first for me! I’m so grateful.”

Gomez continued: “Thank you guys for streaming and committing to this song! It means the world to me! This song has my whole heart.”
