Hector Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Quote What's bigger than new material from global superstars? A cultural phenomenon. Lil Nas X's anthem, "Old Town Road" is on pace to to be the #1 song in the country for the seventh week in a row. This week, Nas' track will fend off a debut from a power collab, Ed Sheeran f/Justin Bieber's I Don't Care." The week before it was a new Shawn Mendes single, and at the end of April is held its own against the queen of debut releases, Taylor Swift. And "Old Town Road" is showing no sign of slowing down. The video is due to drop on Friday, while more and more viral renditions keep popping up. Although Lil Nas withstood the initial heavy artillery from Team Swift, but the Sheeran/Bieber camp has a big game plan coming in hopes of unseating the viral sensation (they too will be dropping a video shortly). Oddsmakers say Apple Music will be the difference-maker here. Per the updated YTD Top 5 songs below, "Old Town Road" has now surpassed Ariana Grande's "7 rings" as the biggest song of 2019 so far. http://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=316423&title="OLD-TOWN"-PHENOMENON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
