Review: ‘Old Town Road’ spends 16 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 (Includes first-hand account)

The single “Old Town Road” was released via Columbia Records and it also tops the Streaming Songs, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and Hot Rap Songs charts respectively for 16 weeks each. It has taken the music industry by storm and rightfully so. It deserves to be a major contender at next year’s Grammy Awards.

The song’s music video features guest appearances from such entertainers as Chris Rock, Haha Davis, Rico Nasty, Diplo, Jozzy, Young Kio, and Vince Staples.

“Old Town Road” is one of the three longest-running No. 1 singles in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 charts, along with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito” featuring Justin Bieber, and “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men. It is one week away from becoming the longest-running chart-topping single of all time. It is available on Apple Music and on Spotify.

The Verdict

Lil Nas X joining forces with Billy Ray Cyrus on “Old Town Road” is a match made in musical heaven. They are so different as artists, but that’s why it works so well, and they are able to appeal to a wide demographic of fans. “Old Town Road” garners an A rating.
