Earlier this week, Rockstar Video games launched the long-awaited first trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI, the huge sequel to 2013’s GTA 5. And whereas the trailer itself is shortly racking up tens of millions of views each hour, the Tom Petty tune featured in it is usually doing fairly dang effectively, too.
I most likely don’t have to inform you that on December 4, after a small leak, Rockstar launched the primary GTA 6 trailer a bit early and, within the course of, blew up the web. That trailer, which revealed the sport gained’t be out till 2025 and likewise showcased some incredible-looking NPCs, has since hit over 100 million views already, breaking some world information within the course of. And the trailer’s tune, “Love Is a Lengthy Street,” is predictably blowing up too, based on Spotify.
As reported by IGN, Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Lengthy Street” has seen a ridiculous improve in streams because the trailer went reside. In keeping with Spotify, streams of “Love Is a Lengthy Street” have elevated by 36,979% in comparison with final week. As of December 6, the tune has over 11 million performs on Spotify.
Initially launched in 1989, Tom Petty’s “Love Is a Lengthy Street” was included on his massively profitable album, Full Moon Fever, alongside hits like “Free Fallin’,” “I Received’t Again Down,” and “Runnin’ Down a Dream.” Whereas “Love Is a Lengthy Street” will little question proceed to blow up on-line because of the GTA 6 trailer, this isn’t the primary time Petty—who died in 2017—has had his music featured in a GTA recreation.
If you happen to performed GTA San Andreas again in 2004, you already know that “Runnin’ Down A Dream” was included on the sport’s basic rock radio station Okay-DST. In keeping with the official Tom Petty Twitter account, the well-known singer “loved contributing” the tune to Rockstar’s massively profitable open-world sequel.
I’d wish to suppose if he was nonetheless alive at present, Petty—who was born in Florida— would love his tune being featured in a trailer for what seems to be to be the last word “Florida recreation.”
