The post Surprising Collaborations That Actually Turned Out Great appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>We’re bringing you some of the best musical team-ups of the year that took the whole world by surprise.
It’s not common to see our favorite mainstream artists teaming up with K-pop performers, but that changed this year when Halsey jumped on board for one of BTS’ biggest hits to date.
What do you get when you put a TikTok-obsessed teen and a washed-up country singer together? The biggest hit of 2019, apparently. What a time to be alive!
Madonna’s new album Madame X gave us a series of collaborations we honestly didn’t see coming, but we’re going to give a slight edge to “Medellín” since it’s the cream of the crop.
Taylor Swift’s songs rarely feature other artists, and even when they do, she makes pretty obvious choices. There was nothing obvious about her collaboration with Panic! at the Disco singer, yet he fit right in.

]]>It was just a matter of time before this moment came, but “Old Town Road” had a pretty good run on Billboard Hot 100. It spent 19 consecutive weeks on no. 1 and set an amazing new record that will be difficult to break in the future.
Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, who are responsible for this smash hit, both sent messages of support to Eilish and congratulated the young singer for her enormous success. They also thanked the fans who allowed them to break such an important record with “Old Town Road”.
After dethroning this viral hit, “Bad Guy” became Eilish’s first no. 1 single. This accomplishment was a long time coming, since her first album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? previously debuted at no. 1 and gave us a total of five Top 40 singles.

]]>After seventeen weeks spent at the top of the charts, this breakout hit earned the title of the longest-running no. 1 single in the history of Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“Old Town Road” previously shared the record with “One Sweet Day” by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men and “Despacito” by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, but this country-trap song managed to outrank them both.
Lil Nas X was head over heels after his debut single broke this major record. He celebrated his accomplishment in an emotional emoji-filled Instagram post and described his incredible journey to the top of the charts.
“Did I know it would become the longest-running number 1 song of all time? NO! But I am so thankful that this blessing has been placed upon me. This song has changed my life and the way I see the world around me in less than a year,” the rapper wrote in the post.

]]>Taylor Swift returned to the spotlight and really made a splash with her latest singles “ME!” and “You Need To Calm Down”, but both of them still debuted at the no. 2 spot.
This dream pop-duo gave us the song of the summer with their new collaboration “I Don’t Care”, but still failed to give Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus a run for their money.
Billie Eilish is undoubtedly the biggest rising star of 2019, and her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? repeatedly made it to no. 1 on the albums chart, but she failed to replicate the same success with individual singles due to “Old Town Road”.

]]>The enormous success of this two-minute-long smash hit is leaving music experts puzzled, and we won’t judge you if you feel the same way.
Total unknowns like Lil Nas X rarely make it to the top of Billboard charts this easily. “Old Town Road” is, in fact, the first single he ever released and it’s a part of the Yeehaw Challenge. He promoted it using memes, and users of the emerging social media app TikTok eventually embraced it and helped it make it to no. 83 at Billboard Hot 100.
This meme-worthy single became so popular that it caught the eye of country legend Billy Ray Cyrus. He joined forces with Lil Nas X and recorded a remix which gave rise to dozens of memes after its release on April 5.
Despite the fact it’s a strange hybrid between rap and country, “Old Town Road” is nowhere to be found on Billboard’s country chart. They removed it after coming to the conclusion it doesn’t embrace “enough elements of today’s country music”.
Lil Nas X was disappointed by their decision but said it’s just the kind of things that happens when you’re trying to do something new.
