Behind the OldTownRoad charts decision
When Lil Nas X self-released “Old Town Road” on Dec. 3, 2018, he marked it as a country song in the track metadata that streaming services use. “It’s a country trap song,” he now says firmly. “But once you take a look at it, I feel like it leans more toward country. Of course it’s easier to get seen [as a rap song], but I didn’t expect to see it on any chart. It’s not like my music was selling prior to it coming out.
In March, after signing Lil Nas X, Columbia did not initially promote “Old Town Road” as a country song, and ultimately the charts team decided to remove it from thechart dated March 19. “We did reach out to Sony in Nashville to see if they were involved with the project, which they were not at the time,” says Pietroluongo. Removing “Old Town Road” from Hot Country Songs was, he says, purely an internal decision.
