“Old Town Road” has officially held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 18 weeks. The song was originally created by Atlanta-based rapper Lil Nas X, but was remixed with country music legend Billy Ray Cyrus in May.
Cyrus also released a new single this past week called “Chevys and Fords” with up-and-coming country artist Johnny McGuire. Earlier this year, McGuire broke up from his band Walker McGuire and decided to go solo.
“When I heard ‘Chevys and Fords,’ I just knew it was everything I look for in a country song. People are passionate about their Chevys and Fords, and people are passionate about their music. It seemed like a beautiful collaboration,” Cyrus said.

This is the second time Cyrus has made it to the top of the Billboard charts for several consecutive weeks.
