Music fans and industry experts are wondering whether to call Lil Nas X’s viral single “Old Town Road” a country song or a hip-hop banger. The track debuted simultaneously on the Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Country Songs charts before being removed from that last one. “‘Old Town Road’ does not embrace enough elements of today’s country music to chart in its current version,” Billboard explains. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber declared the track a “banger” on Instagram this week.
What are your thoughts… Is Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” a Country Song, a Hip-Hop Song, or Both?
