Posted April 8, 20197 yr 5ho88VXJTBg This from US rapper Lil Nas X which entered the UK Top40 at #39 on Friday and it has continued to climb on Spotify. What do you make of this?
April 8, 20197 yr This SLAPS *.* Especially the remix. I'm interested to hear more as this melding of country with trap is so so good, Sam Hunt did some R&B influences but this is taking it even further! There's been controversy with Billboard as they took this off the Country chart and it would have been #1 if it was kept on!
April 8, 20197 yr Like this on first listen (the remix), tbh reminds me of the Justin Timberlake album last year which was some sort of country/funk/Timbaland fusion.
April 8, 20197 yr I don't know if I want to see country trap becoming a proper trend but I'm here for it for this one song at least - crazy that it's got to #1 on the Hot 100 already and could well be coming for UK #1 this week or next as well! *.* (Billy Ray's verse on the remix is genuinely not bad as well xx)
April 9, 20197 yr It’s managed to get to #1 Without the remix even counting yet The margins are going to be huge next week
April 9, 20197 yr didn't think he was gonna make it this week without the billy ray cyrus version Edited April 9, 20197 yr by Bjork
April 9, 20197 yr I LOVE this song! It's taken off over here. Love the Country and Hip-Hop vibes combined. March Madness, the annual three week, 64 team college basketball competition just finished last night, with Virginia beating Texas Tech in the Final. Texas Tech were 200-1 to reach the final before the season, and were the Cinderella story of the tournament (think of it as Plymouth Argyle or Exeter City reaching the FA Cup Final). They are from Lubbock, a small-ish university city in west Texas with about 350 miles from the next nearest city. It's Cowboy country out there. Anyway, they adopted this song as their anthem a few weeks ago, and they have been going crazy celebrating each unlikely win by blasting this in the changing room. 8NIxVxkCOq0 Edited April 9, 20197 yr by DannyAdelante
April 15, 20197 yr Author Managed to climb 37 places to #2 back on Friday in the UK. Strong contender for #1 on Friday? We'll have to wait and see.
April 16, 20197 yr I think the remix is absolute genius. I've had it in my head constantly for well over a week - Billy Ray's "rap" is excellent :lol: Edit - the remix is now #1 on the Hot 100 with 143 million streams, breaking the previous record of most streams in a single week set by In My Feelings. Glad it's set to be the UK #1 this week too after being cheated of it last week by the stupid rules regarding Thursday streams
