From Nowhere to #1: The Oliver Anthony Story
Oliver Anthony (real name Christopher Oliver Lunsford) is the first artist ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard chart with no prior chart history.
He shot to fame thanks to his breakout tune Rich Men North of Richmond, recorded live for a radio station and released on YouTube. The video went viral almost instantly, resonating with millions.
Following his rise, appearances on massive platforms like Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson helped spread his name even further. Suddenly, the man from Farmville, Virginia, became a household name.
This flood of attention naturally led to industry offers from all directions – everyone wanted to sign the internet sensation who had recorded all his songs on his phone. So far, he’s turned them all down.
Hilariously, the follow-up single to Rich Men North of Richmond is titled I Want To Go Home.
As it’s only been a few months since Oliver Anthony broke through, let’s leave it here and see what happens next. He may very well have written the song of 2023.
