Old Town Road was insanely popular. It got an award for that popularity.

Here's how I see it: Most of new country artists( this doesn't include the few that really love country music) know that their music is crap. They took the easy road, and went to Nashville instead of trying to make it in the big game. Now they have an inferiority complex, when they compare themselves to the big artists of rock and such.
So how do they make themselves feel better? Drag a famous rocker down into the same hole as they are in. Then they can say " see, we're the same".

That song was kinda a cultural phenomenon. It was a massive hit, and everyone wanted to be a part of it.

Why must everything be that way?
