President Trump Attributes 'Y.M.C.A.' Chart Resurgence to His Dance Moves
During a recent speech at The Villages retirement community in Florida, President Trump claimed that his dance moves to the song 'Y.M.C.A.' by the Village People contributed to its resurgence on the Billboard charts. The song, originally released in 1978, topped the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart in late 2024, coinciding with Trump's presidential campaign. Trump frequently used the song during his rallies, describing it as the 'gay national anthem.' Despite initial resistance from the song's creator, Victor Willis, Trump was allowed to continue using it, which Willis later acknowledged as beneficial for the song's popularity.
