Streams of The Honey Drippers' Iconic "Impeach The President" Soar Following Announcement of Trump's Impeachment Inquiry

The holy grail break clocked in a 1,053% surge in streams.

The Honey Drippers' iconic single "Impeach The President" is enjoying a late-phase breakout moment in the streaming age.
