Barack Obama<\/a> made the Billboard charts this week thanks to Hamilton<\/a><\/em> creator\u00a0Lin-Manuel Miranda<\/a>. The former president appears on\u00a0\u201cOne Last Time (44 Remix),\u201d a gospel-inspired remix of the Hamilton<\/em> hit, which landed at Number 22 on Billboard\u2019s Hot R&B Songs chart.<\/p>\n

The track, which also features Broadway star Christopher Jackson and gospel singer\u00a0Bebe Winans, was released by Miranda on December 22nd as part of his \u201cHamildrops\u201d series, which raises money for various nonprofits. The song\u2019s title is a reference to Obama, the 44th president of the United States, and showcases the former POTUS delivering\u00a0George Washington\u2019s farewell address.<\/p>\n

This is not actually Obama\u2019s first time appearing on a Billboard chart. The president has previously charted twice, landing on two now-defunct charts. In March 2009,\u00a0A Moment in History: The Inauguration of Barack Obama<\/em>\u00a0landed at No. 6 on TV DVD Sales chart and in December 2015 he appeared on the\u00a0Billboard\u00a0+ Twitter Emerging Artists chart for featuring on the song\u00a0\u201cPop Off\u201d by JX Cannon.<\/p>\n

Obama is known for his love for music, particularly R&B and hip-hop. He recently shared<\/a> his end of year 2018 music list on Facebook, which included tracks by Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar and Leon Bridges.<\/p>\n
