Phil Collins’s “In the Air Tonight” is climbing the charts again, after becoming the subject of a viral video.
The tune was number two on iTunes as of Tuesday afternoon, right behind Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s newly released “WAP”.
“In the Air Tonight” came out almost four decades ago, in January 1981.
It was the lead single of Collins’s first solo album, Face Value, which came out the following month.
Its renewed popularity comes in the wake of a YouTube clip in which two siblings from Gary, Indiana, are seen hearing the song for the first time.
Tim and Fred Williams, 21, shared the video in July on their YouTube channel.
Titled FIRST TIME HEARING Phil Collins — In the Air Tonight REACTION, the video captures the twins’ elation, especially when the tune’s famous drum solo surfaces more than three minutes into the song.
The clip has been viewed four million times, with many on social media marvelling at the siblings’ stunned reactions.
