Amazon’s Fallout TV show has led to a massive boost in listenership for classic artists featured in the show.
The TV adaptation, which has been met with critical and fan acclaim, features music that originally appeared in the Fallout franchise, as well as new tracks exclusive to the television version.
Following its inclusion in the TV show, artists such as The Ink Spots, who perform I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire, have seen their monthly listenership on Spotify increase by over a quarter of a million.
This is according to data compiled byMat Ombler,using Spotify’s monthly listening data.
The biggest leap in listenership was earned by The Jet Tones, whose track Henry grew from 133 monthly listens to over 15,000. Notably, Henry wasn’t previously featured in a Fallout title.
The biggest increase in listenership for a song that previously featured in the games was Crawl Out Through the Fallout by Sheldon Allman, which is featured in the first episode and in the TV show’s marketing material. It previously appeared in Fallout 4.
