Bowie Spotify Streams Jump 42% After Space X Launch

After Tuesday’s triumphant launch of a Falcon Heavy rocket by Elon Musk’s SpaceX, David Bowie streams jumped 42% on Spotify globally. The launch of the rocket, which features a dummy sitting in a Tesla Roaster listening to David Bowie, prompted a surge in streams of the late singer’s space-themed repertoire:

· Life On Mars? +332%

· Space Oddity +188%

· Starman +181%

You can listen to a collection of David Bowie’s greatest songs on the playlist, This Is: David Bowie

*Increases were calculated by comparing global streams during the hour immediately after the launch with the same time period the previous week.
