Oliver Anthony Beat Out Luke Combs & Morgan Wallen (Again) for No. 1 Song in the Country
It's the third time in history three country songs topped the Billboard Hot 100
For the second week in a row, viral sensation Oliver Anthony has the No. 1 song in the country on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
According to Billboard, Anthony's song "Rich Men North of Richmond" is the most popular song of the week, based on streams, sales and radio airplay.
Last week, the track debuted at No. 1 on the chart, beating out Luke Combs' cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car" and Morgan Wallen's "Last Night." The ascent to the top of the chart marked the second time in history that three country songs topped the chart. This week is the third.
Taylor Swift and Doja Cat round out the Top 5 spots with "Cruel Summer" and "Paint the Town Red," respectively.
The news of Anthony's second week at the No. 1 spot comes a few days after he called out the use of the song at last week's Republication presidential debate. "I wrote that song about those people," he said, referring to the candidates featured in the debate. "It's aggravating seeing people on conservative news trying to identify with me like I'm one of them."
The following day, Anthony criticized Democratic President Joe Biden on Facebook to make it clear that he does not take a firm side politically.
