“Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus

“Old Town Road” is American rapper Lil Nas X’s first hit single. It’s more like a smash hit, given all the fame and success this song has given him. He originally dropped the song in December of 2018 and it went on to become a meme on the popular video app TikTok. With all the attention he was was getting online, Columbia Records then signed Lil Nas X. Since the song is in the “country trap” genre (a hybrid of country and rap), it went on the Billboard Hot Country Chart as well where it peaked at #19. But it was taken off because Billboard felt it wasn’t “country” enough, sparking a bit of controversy. Then Billy Ray Cyrus collaborated with Nas and they put out a remix to the song that reached #1 on pretty much all the charts and is still going strong. At just under 2 minutes, the original “Old Town Road” is the 5th shortest #1 song in history.
