\u201cOld Town Road\u201d tops charts<\/strong><\/p>\n

Country music is relevant again. Lil Nas X in now a household name and everybody wants their horses in the back. Radios, iPods, and speakers across America are blasting \u201cOld Town Road.\u201d However, after initially allowing the song on the Hot Country chart, Billboard has since removed it. Not everybody agrees that \u201cOld Town Road\u201d is a country song. Billboard claimed the song, \u201cdoes not embrace enough elements of today\u2019s country music.\u201d because it includes sounds from modern hip-hop. Billboard\u2019s decision has been criticized as perhaps racist due to the fact Lil Nas X is African-American. Lil Nas X has since enlisted Billy Ray Cyrus on the remix, shocking social media and pressuring Billboard to return the song to the charts. \u201cOld Town Road\u201d is only the third country song in 30 years to make it to number one. A second remix featuring Young Thug is scheduled for future release.<\/p>\n
