In the wake of dueling Super Bowl halftime performances on Sunday night, Kid Rock's cover of 'Til You Can't' has overtaken Bad Bunny's 'DtMF' for the top slot on iTunes. Kid Rock's rendition of the song sat at the top spot as of Monday afternoon, with the original version by Cody Johnson at number two. This comes after Kid Rock's performance at Turning Point USA's 'All-American Halftime Show', which drew over 25 million viewers across platforms without corporate backing. Multiple country songs from TPUSA performers also climbed the charts simultaneously, signaling broader audience demand for entertainment that reflects traditional American values.
Why it matters
This iTunes victory proves that traditional American values still command a massive audience. When given options that honor their beliefs instead of mocking them, conservative consumers show up enthusiastically. This demonstrates that the infrastructure for alternative entertainment is growing, and the audience is there - suggesting the era of conservatives feeling like outsiders in their own culture might be ending.

Other country songs from TPUSA performers like Gabby Barrett also saw major chart success, with 'The Good Ones' climbing to fourth place and 'I Hope' landing at sixth.
