  "account": "Cliff Richard, the 86-year-old British singer, is experiencing an unexpected resurgence at the age of 86 following his song \"Devil Woman\" being featured in the Grand Theft Auto 6 (GTA 6) Extended Look on Netflix. However, the immense GTA 6 phenomenon seems to have bypassed Richard himself. The 1976 single from his album \"I'm Nearly Famous\" witnessed a staggering 325% surge in daily streams since the game's Extended Look. Despite Rockstar Games paying out for its inclusion on the extensive GTA 6 soundtrack, Richard admits he has no idea what Grand Theft Auto is. An interview with The Times revealed that it was his tech-savvy nephew who first brought the connection to his attention, as the boys were astonished to hear their uncle singing. While Rockstar Games has revealed some of the tracks for GTA 6, including tracks from contemporary legends like Yung Lean and Travis Scott, the 86-year-old rock legend remains content that his music still resonates in the 'big 2026'.",
