Not bad for someone described by the arrogant, smug left who refers to Oliver Anthony as a dumb redneck. Rich Men North of Richmond is now #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the first time, making left wing extremists pee their pants even more.
Fame and fortune in equal measure have found country singer Oliver Anthony with his breakout viral hit “Rich Men North of Richmond” debuting Monday at the very top of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
In doing so, Billboard reports the new Virginia icon becomes the first artist ever to launch atop the list with no prior chart history in any form.
Anthony spoke exclusively to Billboard, telling the outlet,“The hopelessness and frustration of our times resonate in the response to this song. The song itself is not anything special, but the people who have supported it are incredible and deserve to be heard.”
His now No. 1 song takes aim at the moneyed elites in Washington, DC, the backroom dealmakers happy to cruise through life while everyday men and women sweat and toil just to get by.
