Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus have parlayed their smash hit, “Old Town Road,” into a Super Bowl spot for Doritos.

The tune, which spent a record 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, has won a number of awards in the past year, including the Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, CMA Award for Musical Event of the Year, MTV Award for Song of the Year and more.
