A Twitter account called 'American Idiot For UK No.1 When Trump Visits' was launched in 2015 and aims to get the song by Green Day to top musical charts for the US President's visit in Britain on July 12.

The song has now topped Amazon's list of best-selling songs in Britain.

In January 2017, the page urged users to help get the hit to top spot on UK's Official Chart.

The social media campaign was backed by many online users. 

The US president arrives to the UK on Thursday evening. His schedule is packed with meetings, including the UK PM Theresa May and the Queen. 

His visit is expected to take place among mass protests and rallies.
