While a music exec said "Justice for All's" sales figures were "impressive," its streaming numbers---600,000 plays across--were not.

The track has not appeared on either Apple Music or Spotify's charts.

A spokesperson for Kash Patel, one of the organizers of "Justice for All," said she expects the song to appear on upcoming Billboard charts.

@z_everson On the plus side, this means Trump will not win a Grammy for this song. If he can only get an unsuccessful play he can get the anti-EGOT!
