It’s been a good year for Lil Nas X, who came out in June, had a song sit in the #1 spot on the Billboard Top 100 for 19 weeks (more than any other tune in history), and took home the trophy for “Song of the Year” at the MTV VMAs Monday night.
Upon accepting the award for “Old Town Road”, the 20-year-old rapper unraveled a scroll to read his acceptance speech.
It was a moment:

He’s so adorable. Queerty missed the best part, though: he unrolled the scroll, then read off “Thank you.” That was it!

I’m happy for him. The last I heard he was close to signing a deal with Wrangler Jeans. The kid is articulate and talented. You go Nas.
I went over on google and put in the question “what artist has sold a million copies this year” and nothing came up. I rephrased the question again but this time I asked “who was the last artist that sold a million copies” and still nothing came up. Strange, but now that I think about it I don’t remember the last news flash that some ones album went gold or platinum, even if it was downloaded. My how times have changed. Even Best Buy is practically empty of cd’s or lets just say they dont stock them like they used to.

@Bob LaBlah – Best Buy announced last year that they were planning on stopping the sale of CDs, that’s probably why they’re empty.
