Old Town Road (Young Thug & Mason Ramsey Remix)

A third official remix of "Old Town Road", following the second official remix by Diplo in April 2019, was released on July 12, 2019. The remix retains Billy Ray Cyrus' guest appearance and adds American rapper Young Thug and American singer Mason Ramsey. The remix was released in an effort to keep "Old Town Road" at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, as the song is one week away from tying for the all-time Hot 100 record held by "One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men and "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee; it is also two weeks away from surpassing that record.
