The musician’s unmissable single “Old Town Road” steps up just one spot on the U.K. chart, becoming the latest No. This week, the cut moved 80,000 equivalent units in the U.K., which was easily enough to give it the coveted title. “Old Town Road” benefits from viral success, intense media coverage, as well as a high-profile remix that features American country musician Billy Ray Cyrus, who stepped in and helped take the tune to another level. While he hasn’t announced anything yet, it’s assumed that “Old Town Road” will serve as the lead single from Lil Nas X’s debut full-length, which he is likely working on now, especially since the cut has become an international phenomenon. “Old Town Road” finally ends the lengthy run at the top of Lewis Capaldi’s “Someone You Loved,” which ruled the singles listing for seven consecutive turns.
