One of the silver linings throughout Donald Trump’s presidency was the fact that we always had “FDT” to uplift our spirits in times of despair–but now, the song has taken on a whole new meaning.

Immediately following Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ victory on Saturday, YG and Nipsey Hussle’s politically-charged track reached No. 1 on the iTunes charts. In case you’re new here, “FDT” stands for “F*** Donald Trump.”

Streams for the 2016 record were already soaring over the course of the past week as Americans headed to the polls on Tuesday. The song reportedly experienced a 221 percent jump in sales from Monday, November 2 to Election Day on November 3, surpassing more than one million streams on the day the polls closed.

While the writing was on the walls for a few days as we waited for states like Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia to count the last of their ballots, once Donald Trump was officially declared a loser on Saturday, “FDT” immediately became the celebratory song of choice. Celebs like Chrissy Teigen and John Legend uploaded a video dancing to the track once the news was called, and when fans started to go out into the real world to celebrate, the song could be heard blasting in cities across America.

Whether you’re happy that Joe Biden won, or simply excited that Donald Trump DIDN’T, there’s definitely reason to celebrate. Especially for YG, who’s gonna get a pretty payday out of this.
