The first track released was “Old Town Road”, which turned into a whole pop culture moment. The song broke records when it stayed no. 1 on the Billboard Charts for 19 straight weeks. The rapper was able to knock down Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber’s previous record of 17 weeks.
Lil Nas X released a series of “Old Town Road” remixes with Young Thug and other artists. He has already promised Joe Jonas a spot on the “Panini” remix, after axing the remix they did for “Old Town Road”.
