Former President Barack Obama made his debut on the Billboard Hot R&B Songs chart this week, landing at No. 22 on the Jan. 5-dated rankings with "One Last Time (44 Remix)."
奥巴马本周首次登上了公告牌节奏布鲁斯热门歌曲榜单,他参与的单曲《最后一回》(44混音版)在1月5日的排行榜中位居第22名。
The song starts with 307,000 on-demand US streams and 9,000 downloads sold in the week ending Dec. 27, according to Nielsen Music.
尼尔森音乐报告显示,截至12月27日,这首歌在美国在线点播网站上的单周点击量达30.7万,下载量达9000。
Creator of the Broadway hit musical Hamilton Lin-Manuel Miranda released the track, which is a gospel-inspired remix of a song from the show, on Dec. 20. The release was part of a series of "Hamildrops" that are aimed to raise money for several different nonprofits.
百老汇热门音乐剧《汉密尔顿》的创作者林-曼努尔·米兰达于12月20日发布了这支单曲,这首歌曲是《汉密尔顿》中同名歌曲的混音版,灵感源自福音歌。米兰达还发布了来自该音乐剧的一系列其他歌曲,为多家非盈利机构筹集资金。
The chart appearance comes after Hamilton co-creators Miranda, Thomas Kail, Andy Blankenbuehler and Alex Lacamoire received a special honor for groundbreaking work at the Kennedy Center Honors in early December.
在这首歌发布前,《汉密尔顿》的主创米兰达、托马斯·凯尔、安迪·布兰肯布勒和艾利克斯·拉卡摩尔在12月初因为突出贡献获得了肯尼迪中心荣誉奖。
The track — whose name is a throwback to Obama, the 44th president — features original Hamilton cast member Christopher Jackson, gospel musician BeBe Winans, and of course, the former politician, who delivers George Washington's farewell address. Jackson played Washington in the original run of the musical.
这支单曲名中的数字44让人联想到美国第44任总统奥巴马,在单曲MV中亮相的有原版《汉密尔顿》的演员克里斯托弗·杰克逊、福音歌手贝贝·怀南斯,当然还有美国前总统奥巴马,他在MV中朗读了美国前总统乔治·华盛顿的告别演说。杰克逊在原版《汉密尔顿》中饰演华盛顿。
Obama previously appeared on two now-defunct Billboard charts. A Moment in History: The Inauguration of Barack Obama hit No. 6 on the TV DVD Sales tally in March 2009, while a song, "Pop Off," by JX Cannon featuring Obama, reached No. 10 on Billboard + Twitter Emerging Artists in December 2015.
此前,奥巴马也曾有两支MV在公告牌上榜(现已停止发行)。一支是《历史时刻:贝拉克·奥巴马的就职典礼》,2009年3月在电视DVD销量上排行第六;另一支是J·X·加农演唱与奥巴马合作的《Pop Off》,2015年12月在公告牌+推特新星榜中排行第十。
