The sound of the dispossessed.

Oliver Anthony’s Rich Men North of Richmond, the out-of-nowhere country song that went viral earlier this month, has debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making him the first artist to ever notch a top single with no prior chart history in any form.


The song, which Anthony says is the first he ever recorded with a professional microphone, was widely shared online along with a video of bearded, Virginia-based singer playing an acoustic guitar in the woods. The song was streamed 17.5m times during the week ending 17 August, and a video of Anthony’s performance posted by the channel RadioWV has racked up 30 million views in 12 days.

Love it when the Regressive Left/Democrats get their panties in a bunch and start clutching their pearls.  Of course this author hits all the main points, but keeps coming back to Q.  Remember, 6+3+2+1+5 = 17, and Q is the 17th letter in the alphabet.  I think Trump was simply tolling the highly schooled, but unintelligent Left/progressives with his stats.  Regardless, what else to expect from an ultra-left site like Vox.

 

What’s going on with these viral, right-wing country music hits?

 

Hard on the heels of Aldean and Wallen, complete unknown Oliver Anthony went viral in August for his oppressed common-man anthem “Rich Men North of Richmond,” after a YouTube user released a video of Anthony performing the song live. Despite lyrics that reference QAnon themes and mock people on welfare with what many have read as racist stereotypes, the song is so popular that Anthony now has 18 songs currently ranking in the Apple Music Top 100. On August 22, he became the first artist in Billboard history to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 without any prior chart history. His song was so popular as an expression of conservative rancor, in fact, that at the beginning of Wednesday night's GOP debate, Fox News moderators used the song to frame their opening questions to candidates.

Did amse me, inevitable that the usual Progressive suspects went full on Racist, Bigot etc etc as could have been easily expected.

 

And then of course the GoP try and pick it up as their song when it was obviously directed at all of them.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Oh hold on let me read the above posts 

Edited by cocoVAII

When tomorrow starts without me..

please try to understand, That an Angel came and called

my name, and took me by the hand; The angel said my

place was ready, In Heaven far above, And that I'd have

to leave behind all those I dearly love. But when I walked 

through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home, for God

looked down, smiled at me, And told me "Welcome Home."

So when tomorrow starts without me, 

Don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me,

I'm right there in your heart.
