Dub's Playlist

Oliver Anthony's new song is on Dub's playlist this week. This guy has blown up out of nowhere! Everyone has been talking about his song "Rich Men North Of Richmond", currently its the #1 song in the country. Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs are behind him right now!

However, the craziest thing is, Oliver Anthony doesn't really want to be famous. He's stated publicly in interviews that he doesn't want a huge bus and tractor trailers and a big tour. Oliver Anthony doesn't want to be a superstar. In fact he's turned down an $8 million dollar offer to sign with a major record label.

Oliver Anthony says that he wants to put out music to help people. He says that he wants his music to bring people together instead of dividing them. I love the fact that a man can release a song on his own and have it blow up like this. What it says to me is, if the song is good and people can relate to it, they'll find it.

And find it they did, the video for "Rich Men North Of Richmond" has over 34 million views on YouTube, if you haven't heard that song yet, you can check it out here.

Also if you want to check out the other songs that have been featured on Dub's playlist, you can find those here.

Oliver Anthony has just released a new song, and I like it just as much as "Rich Men North Of Richmond". Oliver Anthony's new song " I Want To Go Home" is on Dub's Playlist this week.
