Bonnie Tyler's 1983 power ballad 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' saw UK streams surge by 94% on 12 August 2026, as a major solar eclipse crossed Britain, according to Spotify data. The spike came just five weeks after the Welsh singer's death, aged 75, on 8 July 2026, and coincided with more than 90% of the Sun being obscured across the country.
The song recorded the biggest overall jump in total streams among a group of eclipse-themed tracks described as 'celestial anthems' by Spotify. It also enjoyed a 14% uplift in streams worldwide.
