Rice's current single, "Eyes On You," from his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, recently sat atop Billboard's Country Airplay chart and is currently on Billboard's all-genre Hot 100 chart for its 13th straight week. The single has become the most-streamed song of Rice's career with more than 130 million streams and counting. The Tar Heel State native has become one of country music's most exciting figures since arriving in Nashville, building a loyal fan base across the country through his energetic live shows and gaining the attention of music critics and industry professionals alike with his edgy, eclectic sound.
Lambs & Lions followed Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits - the Platinum-certified "Ready Set Roll" and "Gonna Wanna Tonight." Rice recently served as direct support on the Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2018 and headlined a U.K. run in advance of his highly anticipated Eyes On You Tour, currently underway.
Lil Nas X has created a country trap song for the masses. The 20-year-old from Atlanta, Ga., born Montero Hill has entered the same rarified space in culture where top superstars like Ariana Grande and Post Malone seamlessly experiment with any genre-hip-hop, country, and pop-and gain acceptance beyond bounds.
"Old Town Road," has reached #1 on The Billboard Hot 100 chart, topped the Apple Music Top 200 Songs chart, the Spotify US Top 50 chart, and the iTunes Top Songs Chart. The track broke records for having the most streams in a single week outpacing Drake's "In My Feelings," as well as having the biggest single week for an artist.
