Kneecap’s Streams Nearly Double Following ‘Free Palestine’ Comments at Coachella
In this week's Trending Up, Kneecap's Coachella comments and the ensuing discourse around them lead to additional streaming interest.
This week: Coachella gains carry over for Kneecap after the group makes headlines for its onstage Palestine comments, Lorde’s promotion of her new song inadvertently offers some extra momentum to an old deep cut of hers, and much more. Along with top-billed acts like Lady Gaga and Charli xcx, Kneecap produced a slew of headlines following their Coachella performances earlier this month, as the Northern Irish rap trio advocated for Palestine and condemned the ongoing violence in Gaza. Between the song’s similarity to Lucki’s music, its sample of Ekkstacy’s “I Walk This Earth All By Myself,” Chuckyy’s Durk co-sign and lyrics like, “Super slime, I can’t trust nothin’, that’s why I’m rockin’ this Chrome,” the “My World” snippet quickly went viral.
