After the performance at the stadium, the expected happened. With the whole world watching and singing along with Dayo and Luna, the numbers skyrocketed.
The song, which had been sliding down the charts, shot right back up. Within a week, it climbed back into the Top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. In fact, it held the #1 spot in over 30 countries, from Brazil to South Africa to France. This was the effect of having a song as the World Cup anthem.
Spotify – 92.6 million streams (+37.2M)
Apple Music – #1 in 62 countries (+14)
YouTube – 128.4 million views (+83.2M)
Audiomack – 24.3 million streams (+8.6M)
Billboard Global 200 – "Hall of Fame," which had slipped to #12, surged back up to #3 (+9 spots)
The revival shocked the industry. One World Cup performance had brought the song back to life in a way no one predicted. Labels across the globe were stunned, and the press called it "the performance of the year."
