Creedence Clearwater Revival experienced a surge in popularity on streaming platforms earlier this week, with one of their tracks, 'Bad Moon Rising,' gaining significant traction once again. The resurgence in streams was particularly notable on Monday, coinciding with a solar eclipse event that captured the attention of many Americans.
According to reports from Billboard, 'Bad Moon Rising' saw a remarkable increase in streams, reaching a total of 559,000 plays on Monday alone. This surge in consumption marked a substantial achievement for the decades-old song, surpassing the weekly streaming numbers of many other classic rock hits.
Comparing the streaming figures from the previous Monday, it was evident that 'Bad Moon Rising' experienced a notable uptick in popularity during the eclipse, with a 48% increase in streams. This surge in activity could potentially propel the Creedence Clearwater Revival single back onto one or more Billboard charts in the upcoming week.
It is anticipated that 'Bad Moon Rising' will likely make a return to the Rock Streaming Songs chart, which tracks the most-streamed rock songs in the country. With over half a million streams recorded in a single day and ongoing momentum, the song's chart performance is poised to be significant.
'Bad Moon Rising' is not the only track from Creedence Clearwater Revival to have made an impact on the Rock Streaming Songs chart. The band's hit 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain' has also climbed the rankings, moving from No. 22 to No. 17 in the latest streaming-only tally. The song previously peaked at No. 11, showcasing its enduring appeal among listeners.
