THERE’S nothing like a solar phenomenon to boost your popularity – at least if one of your hits is called Total Eclipse of the Heart.
Welsh pop star Bonnie Tyler – who was on board Royal Caribbean’s Oasis of the Seas this week for a special voyage to view the solar eclipse in North American waters (CW 17 Aug) – is certainly enjoying her place in the (lack of) sun after her song hit the top of the iTunes charts.
Tyler’s eyes would be particularly bright after Spotify saw plays of Total Eclipse of the Heart increase almost 3,000% in the USA, while iTunes sales of the US$1.29 single also jumped 500% this week.
