The “Old Town Road” remix craze continues.
Artist Lil Nas X teamed up with BTS’ RM to release another version of his No. 1 single on Wednesday called “Seoul Town Road.”
BTS, short for Bangtan Boys, is a wildly successful South Korean–based group with chart-topping albums and a massive fan base worldwide.
X has collaborated with several artists for remixes of the track since its original release, including Billy Ray Cyrus, Young Thug and Mason Ramsey.

Lil Nas X and RM then switch off verses.
X shared the cover art for the remix on his Instagram, which used a purple horse to represent the new collab with RM.
BTS also tweeted out the remix, writing, "Seoul Town Road with my Ho-Mi @LilNasX."

"Old Town Road" has held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts for 16 weeks.
It's now tied with with the chart-topping records of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito," featuring Justin Bieber, and Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day." It's also on track to become the longest-leading No. 1 on the Billboard charts.
It set the record as longest-running No. 1 hip-hop song in history earlier this month. This new remix pretty much ensures that "Old Town Road" will remain at No. 1 for an additional week, setting the all-time record.
