Bonnie Tyler's 'Total Eclipse' Tops iTunes

Interest in Bonnie Tyler's 1983 Total Eclipse of the Heart was strongly renewed ahead of Monday's rare total solar eclipse.

In honor of the event, Royal Caribbean announced on Aug. 16 she would perform a rendition of the song with DNCE aboard its Total Eclipse Cruise Monday, reports USAToday.

On Aug. 11, the song had 55,768 streams according to Nielsen's preliminary reports. A week later, on Aug. 18, that number increased 67% to 93,148 streams. Plays on Amazon and Apple were not taken into account as those figures were not yet available, but on Monday the song hit no. 1 on iTunes, ahead of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's Despacito.

Nielsen reports Apple sales of the track have risen from 310 on Aug. 11 to 2,277 on Aug. 18, an increase of approximately 635%.

As of early Monday afternoon, Tyler's music video, published in 2009, had amassed more than 305 million views on YouTube.
