Oliver Anthony reiterates political neutrality as "Rich Men North of Richmond" tops charts again

Oliver Anthony's viral hit "Rich Men North of Richmond" reached #1 on Billboard for the second consecutive week, despite early embrace by conservatives.
Anthony clarified the song criticizes politicians on both sides, not specifically Biden, seeking to support working people and communities.
The song articulated frustrations of the alienated working class, but also faced backlash for targeting welfare recipients.
Its crossover country appeal has fueled its success, as the genre dominates the top of Billboard charts.
Anthony attributes his rise to fame to divine intervention and wants his message to transcend politics.
