Do Unconventional Collaborations Create More Popularity?

In class we talked about the song Walk This Way by RUN-DMC and Aerosmith, which is two artist you wouldn’t normally hear on a track together during this time, and this helped push rap music into the mainstream by collaborating with a rock group. Today do unconventional collaborations like this song spike more talk than an artist collaborating with someone from their genre. Such as the song Old Town Road that had recently been super popular, which is a song collaborated with the artists Lil Was X and Billy Ray Cyrus. This song combines the two genres of hip hop and country, this song probably became popular due to it being so different from what has been put out recently. Is this song going to help bring country into the mainstream like Aerosmith did for rap?
