  "account": "When the Grand Theft Auto VI extended look trailer debuted on August 27, it generated significant excitement among fans, and a major contributor to this buzz was the trailer's impressive soundtrack. The action-packed playlist featured a mix of 1970s and 1980s classics, as well as newer tracks from the past decade. The result of this musical collaboration was a notable spike in streaming activity for many of the featured songs, reflecting the trailer's impact on the music industry. Among the songs that gained considerable traction were \"Se Me Nota (Agárrame)\" by Chimbala x Omega, which saw an extraordinary 3,047% increase in streams, and \"Inner Light\" by Elderbrook and Bob Moses, with a 462% surge. These tracks also managed to break into Shazam's Top 200 chart in the United States, with \"Inner Light\" even topping the list. Additionally, the revival of Oh Wonder's 2015 hit \"Without You\" gained attention, propelled by the nostalgia surrounding the Tumblr era. The song's rising popularity can be attributed to its use in popular TikTok edits, as well as its association with the final season of the TV series \"Outer Banks.\" With the main character of the show facing a solo journey, the pre-chorus of \"Without You\" resonated with many users, leading to a surge in streams. Meanwhile, Noah Kahan's latest single, \"End of August,\" also experienced a significant rise in streaming, climbing to No. 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 after a 35% increase in streams on August 31. This surge suggests that Kahan's work may soon join other notable songs, like Taylor Swift's and Earth, Wind & Fire's, as calendar staples on the streaming calendar.",
