Bonnie Tyler's classic hit spiked in streams during solar eclipse
Bonnie Tyler's friend Mal Pope heard Total Eclipse of the Heart playing throughout Mumbles in Swansea.
On Wednesday, August 12th, a partial solar eclipse took place in the UK, prompting a surge in the streaming of Bonnie Tyler's 1980s hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Gaynor Hopkins, Tyler's former name, became famous with this power ballad, which has since become one of the most iconic songs of all time. In Mumbles, Swansea, a musician and friend of Tyler's, Mal Pope, observed the celestial event and noticed children singing along to the song.
Pope explained that the passing of Tyler was on everyone's mind, and the solar eclipse seemed to be an appropriate moment for people to remember and celebrate the singer's legacy.
