Here’s Why This Coldplay Song Just Hit the Hot 100 for the First Time, 25 Years After Its Release
Coldplay's "Sparks" finally hits the Hot 100, 25 years after its release. Here's how it happened.
Sometimes you can point to a clear and obvious reason — a prominent synch in a film or TV show, such as Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” resurging after Stranger Things season four, or Nirvana’s deep cut “Something in the Way” getting its moment thanks to The Batman. Other times, the resurgence is a little more unexpected — like when Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams” or Fetty Wap’s “Again” returned to the Billboard Hot 100(in 2020 and this February, respectively) thanks to light-hearted viral moments on user-generated content apps such as TikTok. The renewed interest stems from a viral breakthrough on TikTok, driven by a surge in streams following Coldplay’s two-night set at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on June 6 and 7.
