Lil Nas X track goes ?
Lil Nas Xâs âOld Town Roadâ remix featuring Billy Ray Cyrus has officially been certified diamond, making it the first song released in 2019 to do so. Following the news, Lil Nas took to Twitter to celebrate the milestone.
âOLD TOWN ROAD IS OFFICIALLY DIAMOND!! ?????â he tweeted earlier today.
He also tweeted a Spongebob meme in reference to a promise he had jokingly made once the song reached diamond status. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) announced that âOld Town Roadâ had finally reached diamond status. âOld Town Roadâ has also become the fastest song in history to go diamond. Other artists who have achieved the diamond status include Justin Bieber (âBabyâ), Elton John (âCandle In The Windâ), Carly Rae Jepsen (âCall Me Maybeâ), Imagine Dragons (âRadioactiveâ), Lady Gaga (âPoker Faceâ, âBad Romanceâ) and Florida Georgia Line (âCruiseâ),etc
âOld Town Roadâ was first released in December 2018 but later went viral on TikTok, and was further boosted after Cyrus contributed his guest verse. In July, their chart-topping country trap crossover broke the record for the longest running country US number One in History. It even knocked off Billie Eilishâs âBad Guyâ off the spot.
Letâs see if Lil Nas X can top this powerful debut track with his next album, considering his talent, that wonât be too hard at all!
