YMCA tops charts after 40 years thanks to Trump dance sensation
Athletes copying president-elect’s moves and imitators on social media drives surge in sales of the Village People song

Victor Willis, the lead singer of the Village People who once asked the president-elect to stop playing their music, said he used to think Mr Trump would tire of the song. “But that never happened,” he added.

In February 2020, the Village People gave Mr Trump the go-ahead to use YMCA, Macho Man and In the Navy at its rallies despite what it said were “numerous requests” by his fans to stop him.

“At one point I thought he’d tire of the song, but that never happened,” Willis told NBC News.

He said he eventually decided not to cancel the Trump campaign’s licence which allowed it to play YMCA “because by that time I started noticing some very good things started happening”. When YMCA hit number one this month, he high-fived his wife.
