Based on its box office numbers, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has made a serious impression. While the new Mario movie didn't earn completely favorable reviews, the 2023 new movie release arguably proved that video game adaptations have leveled up in the past 30 years. Universal and Illumination’s animated antics aren’t limited to the big screen, though, as the comedic love ballad “Peaches” has already sparked some Oscar talk in regard to Best Original Song. Prepare for that chatter to intensify, as the numbers behind the Jack Black tune have been crunched, and the song has already made a wild amount of money on Spotify.
Via a press release connected to the song, Unscrambled Words calculated that almost $76,000 has been banked by Bowser’s sentimental song. That sum comes from almost 15 million streams, which has also placed Jack Black on the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist for the first time. Talk may be cheap, but the viral buzz surrounding “Peaches” has given the film yet another gold star to put in its trophy case.
