AceShowbiz - Elle King's breakout hit "Ex's and Oh's" shows no sign of slowing down. The song has been steadily climbing up the charts and continues to reach new milestones despite being released more than a year ago.
The catchy country/rock tune is currently sitting atop Billboard's Hot Rock Song. It becomes only the fourth song by a female artist or female-led act to reach No. 1 in the chart's six-year history, following Lorde's "Royals", Paramore's "Ain't It Fun" and Tove Lo's "Habits (Stay High)".
The track has also topped the Alternative Songs chart, making King only the second solo female performer to reach the top since 1996. Previously, Lorde achieved the feat with "Royals" in 2013. Additionally, King's song keeps hitting new peaks on Billboard Hot 100. Most recently, it rose to No. 15 on the all-genre singles chart.
"Ex's and Oh's" serves as the lead cut off King's debut album, "Love Stuff". The 26-year-old daughter of comedian Rob Schneider has said in multiple interviews that the song was inspired by her own past relationship. In fact, a lot of songs on her LP were based on things that had happened to her.
"They're true stories. I write about my different relationships and different things I've gone through in my life," she once said. "I had a crazy couple of years of touring and dating and falling in love really fast and falling out of love even faster."
