The new, viral song from Virginia factory worker and up-and-coming country singer Oliver Anthony has climbed to No. 1 on Apple Music’s global charts.

'Rich Men North of Richmond' which was released earlier this month is sitting alongside top names in the industry including Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, and fellow country singer Morgan Wallen. The song has also taken the top spot in the US.



In only five days, the song has amassed nearly 8 million listens on Spotify and is predicted to be likely to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart by the end of the month.



In the video for the song, Anthony sings into a mic while playing guitar in the woods with his dog by his side.

The song got over 2 million views in the first two days it was released and had over 1 views million on YouTube. Legendary country star John Rich has offered to help Anthony produce a record.  

Rich Men North of Richmond highlights the struggles of the working class in America and begins, "I've been selling my soul, working all day, overtime hours, for bullsh*t pay. So, I can sit out here and waste my life away. Drag back home and drown my troubles away."

Anthony sings about "rich men north of Richmond" who "want to have total control" over the country. "Your dollar ain't sh*t, and it's taxed to no end, 'cause of rich men north of Richmond."



On Sunday, Anthony drew a massive crowd for a musical performance at the Morris Farm Market.
