RICHMOND, VIRGINIA: A few weeks ago, hardly anyone had heard of the writer and performer of the controversial song 'Rich Men North of Richmond,' which recently ranked No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. But now that he has blown up, fans are curious to know every aspect of his life including his height.

A rising star in country music, Oliver Anthony, born Christopher Anthony Lunsford, recently made history when his controversial number became the first by a debut artist to reach No 1 on the Billboard charts.

Anthony went on tour as an undiscovered country music performer a few weeks ago, with only a few hundred fans on social media. He now claims to have declined offers of $8 million.

Despite standing strong in his stance and making his voice heard, Anthony's height allegedly reaches only 5 ft 9 in (1.75 m), as per CA Knowledge.

Different sources claim different heights for the rising country-folk singer and no trusted source has claimed his correct height.

Different sources claim different heights for Oliver Anthony

'Rich Men North of Richmond' singer Anthony's height falls between 5 ft 8 in (1.72 m) and 5 ft 11 in (1.80 m). However, there's no concrete source that could be trusted on this fact.

Following his unexpected success with his working-class anthem 'Rich Men North of Richmond,' Anthony is still standing strong and making his views heard.

The musician commented on his song being played at this week's Republican presidential primary debate in a video posted to YouTube on Friday, calling it "funny" because the song "is written about the people on that stage."

Anthony said, "It’s hard to get a message out about your political ideology or your belief about the world in three minutes and some change. But I do hate to see that song being weaponized."

As per The Times, Anthony does not have the appearance of a pop star with a thick red beard. But as podcaster Joe Rogan pointed out, "You can't fake authentic."

Oliver Anthony is a foot shorter than the tallest country music singer

According to WKML, the tallest country music singer is Charles Burgess Kelley who stands tall at 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m). Though Anthony doesn't have his labels yet, he is a foot shorter than the tallest country folk singer.

Kelley towers over other members of Lady A, Hillary Scott and Dave Haywood. One of the tallest country singers of all time, he has won fans' hearts as he attempts to become sober and resume touring in 2023.

Oliver Anthony drops new song that ends with a Bible verse

Oliver Anthony, who still doesn't have a record deal, has just released a new song titled 'I Want To Go Home' that ends with verse Mark 8:36 from the Bible.

The artist's most recent song deals with issues such as religion, war, the sale of family farms, and the disappearance of green space - all of which have recently dominated news headlines and political discussions.

His blue-collar ballad, in which he rails about working "overtime hours for b****** pay" and criticizes woke politicians for only caring about "minors on an island somewhere," is what launched his meteoric stardom.
