"'She hates when I dance to what's sometimes referred to as the gay national anthem,' Trump said, referring to his First Lady's disapproval of his dancing to 'Y.M.C.A.'"
"'It never hit No. 1 until me! It was No. 5 32 years ago, and it went to No. 1 for months during the last months of the campaign. We love that song!' Trump claimed."
"'Y.M.C.A.' peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 following its release in 1978 - 46 years before Trump's 2024 campaign.'"
"'Billboard also notes that 'Y.M.C.A.' spent a mere two weeks at No. 1 on the Top Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart in November 2024, not 'months' as the president claimed.'"
During a speaking engagement, Trump claimed that the song 'Y.M.C.A.' reached No. 1 due to his influence during the 2024 campaign. He stated that the song was No. 5 32 years ago and then reached No. 1, attributing its success to his rallies. However, historical data shows that 'Y.M.C.A.' peaked at No. 2 in 1978 and did not chart in the years Trump referenced. Billboard confirmed the song only spent two weeks at No. 1 on a different chart in 2024, contradicting Trump's claims.
