Atlanta based rapper Lil Nas X crashed into the Billboard Country charts last week with his song, 'Old Town Road'. A viral phenomenon, with it's origins in both Tik Tok and Soundcloud, it was then removed by Billboard from the charts.

Is the decision based on music grounds? Racial grounds? Or something more suspicious?

This episode, James Daykin looks at the issue and discusses why it might actually be a good thing, in the long term, for the music industry and for fans of music alike.

You can find 'Old Town Road' on Youtube or on www.lyricmagazine.co.uk from Friday (29th March)  in the news update and from Saturday (30th March) in the podcast update.
