Variety reports:
Oliver Anthony’s viral breakout hit “Rich Men North of Richmond” debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making the singer-songwriter the first artist ever to notch the achievement with no prior chart history in any form.
He is the sixth artist in Billboard chart history to debut a first solo Hot 100 entry at No. 1, following Zayn, Baauer, Carrie Underwood, Fantasia and Clay Aiken.
With lyrics referencing high taxes and “the obese milkin’ welfare,” the song drew praise from the right and criticism from the left, with many deeming the Virginia-based singer, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere, an “industry plant.”

If you’re wondering why “Rich Men North of Richmond” is topping the charts, it’s Joe Biden.
If Biden isn’t at the beach, eating ice cream, or on a bicycle, he’s parading around the country claiming that “Bidenomics is working.”
It’s not.https://t.co/Ghcp3AvhWM— Katie Walsh Shields (@KMWalsh_GOP) August 21, 2023

“And thе obese milking welfare, Wеll god іf уоu’re 5-foot-3 аnd you’re 300 pounds, Taxes оught not to pay for your bags of fudge rоundѕ.”

If I were writing a song about “rich men north of richmond” I wouldnt talk about obese people on welfare, I’d sing about CEOs who make 400 times their average workers salary (up from 50 times 30 years ago) & corps that pay zero taxes & offshore tax shelters for billionaires.
