Donald Trump has claimed that his dance moves to the Village People's "Y.M.C.A.” helped a resurgence on the Billboard charts. The song topped Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart in late 2024, more than four decades after its original release. During a speech at The Villages retirement community in Florida, Trump claimed that the song was No. 5 32 years ago, and it went to No. 1 32 years later. The track was frequently used during his 2024 presidential campaign and spent two weeks at No.1 on the Top Dance-Electronic digital Song Sales Chart that November.
