Though Lil Nas X has broken chart records and become a streaming juggernaut with his breakout country rap hit “Old Town Road” with Billy Ray Cyrus, the song faces an uphill challenge to get a nomination for a CMA (Country Music Association) award. | AP

The song’s genreless approach by mixing trap beats with a Nine Inch Nails sample and Western-themed lyrics appealed to millennials on TikTok but took Nashville’s music industry by surprise. While pop, rap and rock artists have gotten CMA nominations before, it is a lot harder to earn a nomination without broad support among Nashville’s labels and country radio.

“I have not really decided what I am going to do where that is concerned,” Macias said. “There is no doubt it is the musical cultural phenomenon of the year. I am on the fence on whether or not it sits in there. It deserves some recognition, and frankly no matter what happens in the voting part, it will be interesting to see what the CMA does.”

“If you talk about a musical event, it is still 19 weeks at No. 1,” Kelly said. “It is the all-time No. 1 on the Hot 100, so as a musical event, it totally deserves a nomination.”
