When Benson Boone released his sledgehammer ballad 'Beautiful Things' in January, he didn't anticipate the overwhelming success it would achieve. The 21-year-old artist was pleasantly surprised when the song started gaining traction on its own, unlike his previous releases that required extensive promotion efforts.
'Beautiful Things' quickly climbed the charts, debuting at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and eventually reaching the third position. The song's impact was felt globally, with Boone's Spotify streams increasing by 200 percent in the week following its release and daily streams surging by 370 percent through February.
