奧巴馬新歌上榜？哪個奧巴馬？沒錯，就是你認識的那個美國前總統奧巴馬！繼奧巴馬夫人成為2018最暢銷書的作者之後，奧巴馬也不甘示弱，成為歌壇一枚嶄露頭角的“新星”。

remix[ri'mɪks]: n. 混錄版歌曲

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)."

奧巴馬本周首次登上了公告牌節奏布魯斯熱門歌曲榜單，他參與的單曲《最後一回》（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.

尼爾森音樂報告顯示，截至12月27日，這首歌在美國在線點播網站上的單周點擊量達30.7萬，下載量達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.

百老彙熱門音樂劇《漢密爾頓》的創作者林-曼努爾·米蘭達于12月20日發布了這支單曲，這首歌曲是《漢密爾頓》中同名歌曲的混音版，靈感源自福音歌。米蘭達還發布了來自該音樂劇的一系列其他歌曲，為多家非盈利機構籌集資金。

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.

在這首歌發布前，《漢密爾頓》的主創米蘭達、托馬斯·凱爾、安迪·布蘭肯布勒和艾利克斯·拉卡摩爾在12月初因為突出貢獻獲得了肯尼迪中心榮譽獎。

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.

這支單曲名中的數字44讓人聯想到美國第44任總統奧巴馬，在單曲MV中亮相的有原版《漢密爾頓》的演員克裡斯托弗·傑克遜、福音歌手貝貝·懷南斯，當然還有美國前總統奧巴馬，他在MV中朗讀了美國前總統喬治·華盛頓的告别演說。傑克遜在原版《漢密爾頓》中飾演華盛頓。

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，奧巴馬也曾有兩支MV在公告牌上榜（現已停止發行）。一支是《曆史時刻：貝拉克·奧巴馬的就職典禮》，2009年3月在電視DVD銷量上排行第六；另一支是J·X·加農演唱與奧巴馬合作的《Pop Off》，2015年12月在公告牌 推特新星榜中排行第十。
