It seems like it's unclear who actually sang it. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just recorded by a bunch of randos vs people actually in jail. But the idea than anybody could actually believe that a version of America the Beautiful would make the billboard charts and beat Taylor Swift is comical.

Well, it was from around the time the song released… it unfortunately seems true. It’d be interesting if there was a way to analyze the data to see how many of the downloads were unique…

It had 442,000 streams while Morgan "dipshit" Wallen's song had 38.9 million according to your source.
