He also has a total of 3 singles those being “Industry Baby”, “Montero (Call Me By Your Name” and again “Old Town Road” reach number 1 on the billboard charts. He has been nominated for 107 awards for his music and won 25 of them including BET Hip Hop awards, Grammy awards and MTV Video Music Awards.
