Singer Oliver Anthony emerged out of nowhere this week with a major social media hit with his folk song “Rich Men North of Richmond,” a folk song aimed at condemning D.C. elites.
Now, the singers hit has reached the Number 1 spot on iTunes.
From Breitbart:
Anthony released the song earlier this week on social media where it quickly went viral thanks to its anti-establishment sentiment that has resonated with millions of Americans. Even before the audio of the song was available on music streaming platforms like Spotify, a live performance of “Rich Men North of Richmond” for an Appalachian YouTube channel took the Internet by storm and culminated in an offer from country music star John Rich to produce a full album with Anthony.
