“Old Town Road” by Lil Nas X skyrocketed to popularity earlier this year after it was pulled from country charts, apparently for not being country enough. That’s when Billy Ray Cyrus stepped in and added some more country flair to the track.

According to Billboard stats, it was the seventh most popular track of the 2010s.
