Bonnie Tyler Can 'Never Get Tired' of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' — Even as It Plays on Repeat During an Eclipse


Bonnie Tyler spoke about how she still loves singing her hit "Total Eclipse of the Heart" over 40 years later and the song's rise in popularity ahead of an actual solar eclipse.

Tyler's beloved power ballad — which was written and produced by the late songwriting icon Jim Steinman — does in fact pick up more listens during a solar or lunar eclipse. "They send me all these stats all the time, and it’s always amazing," Tyler told the New York Post in an interview about the the listening habits surrounding "Total Eclipse of the Heart." As for Tyler's plans on the day of the eclipse, she won't be able to perform the song as it happens, which she did during the August 2017 astronomical event with Joe Jonas' band DNCE while on a cruise ship.
