Should Lil Nas X Be Enlisted As A Country Artist?


Why is Lil Nas X finding it hard to gain acceptance in the world of mainstream country mirrors? Influential black artists found it difficult to get airplay on country radio.

Lil Nas X's viral country rap hit "Old Town Road" soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Lil Nas X now has the ultimate revenge story as his song, "Old Town Road" which was pulled from Billboards country charts for not being country enough, is now the no.1 single in the country.

In a world where everything is racist, this goes to show how even the music industry has discrimination. Lil Nas X has introduced African Americans to a new sound of Country music which they have come to love.

Who am I to tell Billboard that "Old Town Road" is Country and deserves it's spot. Many blacks of today's generation didn't even know who Billy Ray Cirus was unless you talk about Miley Cirus.

We can now say that all cultures from hip-hop to country can now swing to a new tempo. Times are changing and I do believe that this may be the correct way to go. This vote this song even higher. Let it be known that more will come for its spot in country music billboards.

"Old Town Road" Remains At #1


It's safe to say that Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" is the biggest hit of the year, and he recently showed off the streaming numbers to prove it. The hit song has five of the biggest streaming weeks in the U.S. this year.

The news comes as "Old Town Road," which features Billy Ray Cyrus, remains at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the sixth consecutive week. The song also returned to #1 on Digital Song Sales for a fourth week. 

Last month, it was revealed that "Old Town Road" broke Drake's streaming record. Drake previously held the record for 116.2 million streams for "In My Feelings," which Lil Nas X smashed with 143 million streams for the week of April 20.
