‘Rich Men North’ Top Charts, Defeat Taylor Swift
Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” Tops the Charts, Beating Out Taylor Swift
Oliver Anthony’s viral, working-class anthem “Rich Men North of Richmond” continues to make waves in the music industry. Since last week, the song has dominated the iTunes charts and now holds the coveted No. 1 spot on Apple Music’s global charts.
Surprisingly, Anthony, a former factory worker turned singer, is surpassing more established musicians like Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift. Even Taylor Swift, one of the biggest music stars in the world, is no match for Anthony’s viral success.
Excitingly, outlets are already predicting that the track might debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 next week, potentially dethroning Morgan’s “Last Night” from its long-held title.

Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a Fox News medical contributor, recently explained Anthony’s meteoric rise. She believes that his popularity stems from his ability to understand and acknowledge the pain, suffering, and struggles that many Americans face on a daily basis.
Nesheiwat stated, “He is a voice for all of those who aren’t able to express what they’re feeling, what they’re going through, and be able to say, we need change now.”
Anthony himself addressed why his songs resonate with everyday people in a heartfelt Facebook post. He emphasized that his songs connect with millions because they are sung by someone who feels the words in the very moment they are being sung. No editing, no agent, just raw and authentic music.
Despite his rapid rise to fame, Anthony turned down lucrative offers from music industry executives, choosing to stay true to his roots and the style of music that he believes we should have never gotten away from.
