Barack Obama: Unusual success for the ex-president

This news sounds more than unusual: Former US President Barack Obama (57) made it to Billboard's Hot R & B Songs charts this week. Not with a song of their own, but as part of the remix "One Last Time". The track, released by Broadway star Lin-Manuel Miranda (38, "Hamilton"), was ranked # 22 on the charts list.

The song features songs by musical actor Christopher Jackson (43) and gospel musician BeBe Winans (56), as well as parts of Barack Obama's farewell address in January 2017, which he held as US President at the end of his eight-year term. The song is also part of the hit musical "Hamilton".
