"Old Town Road" is a song by American recording artist Lil Nas X. It was originally released independently on December 3, 2018. The song later gained popularity on the social video sharing app TikTok.
"Old Town Road" has been officially remixed four times, featuring a different array of guest artists including Billy Ray Cyrus, Diplo, Young Thug, Mason Ramsey and RM.[5][6]
In March 2019, the song reached number 19 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart before the magazine disqualified it.[7] The song was not re-entered onto the overall country charts. However, both the original version of the song and the remix featuring Cyrus eventually peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 for a record-break of nineteen continuous weeks.[8][9]
