“Old Town Road” LIL NAS X

“Old Town Road” is a country rap song that was recorded by American rapper, Lil Nas X. In 2019, it gained widespread popularity (after becoming a viral sensation on the social media platform, TikTok).

The song’s fusion of hip-hop and country elements, along with its catchy hook, contributed to its popularity. However, controversy arose when the track was removed from the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart (with some arguing it didn’t fit the genre’s criteria).

In 2020, it won two Grammy Awards for “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” and “Best Music Video”.

On this very day, June 16th 2019, it was the #1 song in America, topping Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. If you’d like to have a listen, please feel free to use the provided link. Re-released in April 2019 (as a remix), here’s LIL NAS X featuring BILLY RAY CYRUS, with “OLD TOWN ROAD”…
