Australian singer/songwriter Grace lands at No. 2 with “You Don’t Own Me,” a cover of Lesley Gore’s 1963 No. 1 Hot 100 single.

The song garners 9,000 Shazam tags, 46,000 downloads sold and 21 million U.S. streams in September. Of those 46,000 downloads, 15,000 occurred in the first tracking week after the episode aired (tracking week ending Oct. 6), marking a 45 percent gain from the previous week.

The song, which was produced by Quincy Jones and G-Eazy, peaked at No. 57 on the Hot 100 chart dated Sept. 3. It was also Grace’s first charting single on a Billboard chart.

Additionally, Jidenna lands at No. 3 with “Long Live the Chief.” The song was featured in the fifth episode of Netflix’s superhero show Luke Cage, which premiered on Sept. 30. The song earns its spot with 12,000 Shazam tags, 13,000 downloads sold and 1.3 million U.S. streams in September, according to Nielsen Music. Nearly all of those 13,000 downloads occurred in the first tracking week after the episode aired (Oct. 6), marking a 138 percent gain from the previous week.
