Montero Hill. You know him better as Lil Nas X.
His track “Old Town Road” has spent the most weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 (19 Weeks). Cock-blocking Billie Eilish from reaching the top spot and destroying “Despacito”’s reign. It’s gone platinum in: Sweden, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Belgium, New Zealand, Germany, Poland, America, The UK and Australia 8 times!
It surpassed Drake’s weekly streaming record (143 million vs 116.2 million for “In My Feelings”) He won Song of The Year at the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, performed at the BET Awards, Glastonbury and posed on the cover of TIME Magazine.
Lil Nas X has only been making music for just over a year. All of this is what a dedicated kid can do with an insanely catchy hook, a knack for making memes and a little luck. But there’s plenty an artist can learn from “Old Town Road”'s success.
This is how Lil Nas X created the most popular song ever.

Hi, can you do a video about Bjork? I only dove in her most obscure parts of her discography a few weeks ago and I just can't get over how much she somehow not only reinvented herself since the Sugarcubes and Debut era, but she reshaped the whole pop landscape by with her instantly recognizable crackly voice, her eclectic and meticulous music arrangements and her offputting visuals which somehow ended up being commercially successful in an era where big female voices and bass and drums were mostly prominent , she pushed the Trip Hop and Art pop and electronic music's boundaries so far in the music industry with Post and Homogenic (and maybe Vespertine) Thank you for your content.👍

Technically, he didn't have to, but seeing as it was a large component of his success (and I know what it's like to have someone approach you to buy your music), I really appreciate that generosity. It seems fair in the sense of creative license, and the guy didn't have much to lose if the song flopped because he got paid upfront if Nas never made one cent.

So I switch to Country Music and started being obsessed of listening to it. I couldn't TAKE NO MORE! The reason was not old town road, it was radio, I was questioning, should I or not? And I did. I hope you do videos on Country Music in the future. Some great video ideas: Will Country Pop be the future of Country Music? Will 2020s be full of Country Collabs with Pop? What is the Meaning Of Country Music? The Difference Between Country & Pop?
