The very week Donald Trump‘s alleged involvement in a hush-money scheme was set to make him the first U.S. president to be arrested and face criminal charges, the 76-year-old managed to also make history in an unexpected way: topping a Billboard chart.
Details inside.
As we reported here, the real estate mogul/reality TV personality/politician joined forces with a group of prisoners called the J6 Prison Choir *who were incarcerated for their alleged involvement in the January 6 insurrection) on a song called ‘Justice for All.’
The track – reportedly produced by a “major recording artist” who opted to remain anonymous – interpolates Trump’s vocals reciting the ‘Pledge of Allegiance‘ and credits him as a leading artist.

Other presidents who have been listed on various charts over the years include Bill Clinton, John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, Dwight Eisenhower, and Richard Nixon.
Despite being this week’s top seller, however, the absence of streaming and radio support blocked Trump and crew from entering the Billboard Hot 100. Instead, the cut premiered at #4 on the Bubbling Under Chart.
