t.A.T.u.'s 'All the Things She Said' Sparks Biggest Streaming Rivalry Bumps Yet

Heated Rivalry: A New Show Making Waves in the Music Industry

The world of music synchronization has seen a new phenomenon take center stage with the show Heated Rivalry. This Canadian queer hockey drama, which has captured the attention of American audiences in just over a month, is making waves across the streaming landscape. The impact of the show is evident through the increased streams of songs featured in its episodes.

Last week, it was reported that the first three episodes of the Crave-produced show, which airs on HBO Max in the United States, led to an increase in official on-demand streams from synched tracks by Feist, Wet Leg, and Wolf Parade. With episode four now available, three new songs have received a boost, and the numbers are growing rapidly.

Feist's "Sealion" played in episode one, and she returns with "My Moon My Man," which opens episode four. During the period of Dec. 5-8, "My Moon" earned over 28,000 official on-demand U.S. streams. By the next comparable four-day period (Dec. 12-15), that figure jumped 734% to over 240,000 official streams. However, the most talked-about moment in the episode was the use of t.A.T.u.'s classic "All the Things She Said."

During an extended club scene that transitions into two cold sex scenes, t.A.T.u.'s original version morphs into Harrison's dance cover, creating a cathartic and chaotic moment. During the period of Dec. 5-8, the original "All the Things" earned just under 640,000 official streams. By the time viewers got time to sit with the new episode (Dec. 12-15), that figure leapt 103% to 1.3 million official streams. Harrison's version, which arrived in 2022, earned under 1,000 streams during the period of Dec. 5-8. After episode four (Dec. 12-15), his cover ballooned an astounding 114,173% to over 685,000 official streams.

As Heated Rivalry approaches its season one finale on Dec. 26, it's expected to remain at the center of pop culture well into the new year.

Jon Hamm's Role in Reviving a Danish EDM Classic

A 2010 EDM single titled "Turn Off the Lights" has recently experienced a resurgence in popularity, thanks in part to actor Jon Hamm. The song, originally credited to Danish house producer Kato with a featured appearance from Jon Gade Nørgaard, has gained new life due to its use in the Apple TV series Your Friends & Neighbors.

In the show, a scene featuring Hamm on a club dancefloor has been paired with the song, leading to a viral trend on TikTok. Users have substituted the original track for a more sentimental version, resulting in a massive increase in streams.

"Turn Off the Lights" has grown from around 37,000 weekly official on-demand U.S. streams to nearly 2.5 million (for the week ending Dec. 11), a gain of 6,516%, according to Luminate. The song has also seen a significant rise in sales, with over 5,000 digital downloads recorded during the same period.

With the numbers continuing to climb, it seems likely that the song will make an appearance on the DISCOVERTREND Hot 100 before the holiday season.

U2 and Tom Waits Benefit from Knives Out Release

Each new installment in the Knives Out franchise has led to an increase in streams for the rock song that inspired its title. The third film in the series, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, has boosted the streams for U2's "Wake Up Dead Man" and Tom Waits' "Come On Up to the House."

From Dec. 12-15, "Wake Up Dead Man" earned over 2,000 official on-demand U.S. streams, showing an 82% increase from the previous week. Meanwhile, "Come On Up to the House" saw a 309% jump in streams after the film's release on Netflix.

Tyla's Rising Hit: "Chanel"

Tyla, known for her hit "Water" in 2023, is making a comeback with her latest single, "Chanel." The song has seen a 172% increase in streaming activity over the past four weeks, driven by a viral TikTok dance challenge and buzz from her Asia tour.

The song was first teased in July, and Tyla officially released "Chanel" on Oct. 24 after previewing it at the Global Citizen Festival. A TikTok user named @kipittok shared a dance challenge set to a snippet of the "Chanel" chorus on Oct. 5, which has since garnered over 256,000 views.

Tyla herself participated in the challenge, earning 55.5 million views and 2.9 million likes. The song has continued to climb in streams, reaching over 4.6 million official U.S. on-demand streams during the period of Dec. 5-11.

Already a chart-topper on U.S. Afrobeats Songs and the Bubbling Under Hot 100, "Chanel" is poised for even greater success.
