LIL NAS X AND BILLY RAY CYRUS RODE THEIR HORSE TO #1

Lil Nas X’s smash hit Old Town Road featuring Billy Ray Cyrus has been the #1 song in the country for four weeks. According to an interview that Lil Nas did with Time magazine, the song was inspired by his personal life and is a message of loneliness and perseverance.  

Just last year Lil Nas X was staying at his sister’s house, he had dropped out of college and his parents weren’t happy about it. X spent his days self-promoting his music but even that began to fall apart. Lil Nas said, “Old Town Road came after a period of feeling like I was out of options. I was living with my sister. She was pretty much fed up with me being there. That’s where the chorus lyric came from. It was me saying, ‘I want to leave everything behind…’ the ‘can’t nobody tell me nothing’ part is referring to my parents: wanting me to go back to school, not thinking it’s that likely for [me] to make it.” He said, “I felt like a loner cowboy, I wanted to take my horse to the Old Town Road and run away. The horse is like a car. The Old Town Road, it’s like a path to success”. 

Congrats go out to Lil Nas X for staying true to his dream and going down that path to success.

WHO IS BILLIE EILISH

Billie Eilish with her angst, bleak lyrics, heavy on creep factor music videos and too-cool-too-care look is far from the new Brittney Spears but she maybe a Madonna/Nirvanaadaptation for Gen Z. She’s the anti-pop edgy artist who has grabbed the pop universe by the throat and is ready to take it home. This girl’s got skills! At 13 Billie recorded her first viral hit. Prior to turning 17 this December her songs had been streamed over a billion times. Eilish’s critically acclaimed debut album When We All Fall Asleep, Where do We Go?, which dropped last month, debuted at No.1 and she currently has 8 tracks in the Hot 100! Billie and her 21 year old brother Finnias wrote and produced the songs almost exclusively in their childhood bedrooms. She designs her own merchandise and insists on near-complete control. Billie Eilish may not be the traditional pop star of old but she is a supernova that is rising fast and fans are obsessed!

I’m obsessed…with bringing you the BEST party soundtrack of the weekend! Get ready for exclusive HK remixes on Billie’s top 10 hit Bad Guy, plus remixes on H.E.R., Mabel, Post Malone, Ellie Goulding & Diplo, The Jonas Brothers, Lauren Daigle, Lil Naz X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, Ava Max, Ariana Grande, Lauv & Troy Sivan. Plus new singles fromBTS with Halsey, Jennifer Lopez featuring French Montana, mashups to turn up, a few surprises from the vault that will make your rump shake and so-much-more!
