‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ Star Oliver Anthony Rides the Film’s Popularity


Oliver Anthony is a musician from Farmville, Virginia, who has decided to go on a national tour to share his music with more people.

The first show of the tour will be on Monday in Currituck, North Carolina, and people will be able to go for free.

The choice comes after he recently shot to fame thanks to the huge success of his song “Rich Men North of Richmond,” which got a lot of attention on YouTube.

Since it came out on Tuesday, this song has gotten 4.5 million views and more than 302,000 likes in a short amount of time.

Anthony’s last release on his record label didn’t get nearly as much attention.

His most recent album quickly moved up the charts to reach the top spot on iTunes.

The artist’s song “Ain’t Gotta Dollar” is also very famous, and it is currently at No. 2 on the platform.

His monthly listeners have gone from 40,000 to a very amazing 260,000, which shows how fast his fan base has grown in a very short time.

Between Thursday and Friday, the number of people who follow him on Instagram jumped by almost 50,000. This is a big change from his previous number, which was less than 10,000.

Rich Men North of Richmond makes hints about politicians in Washington, D.C., which is more than 100 miles north of Richmond, Virginia. This smart choice of words in the lyrics seems to have struck a chord with listeners, which helped the song become popular quickly.
