President Donald Trump’s tweet featuring “Photography” by Nickelback apparently helped the band see some increased song traffic.
What happened: Trump tweeted a doctored clip of Nickelback’s hit, “Photography,” last week that included Nickelback’s lead singer Chad Kroeger holding a photo of Vice President Joe Biden, his son Hunter Biden and two other men with the label, “Ukraine gas exec.”
- The tweet received 400,000 likes. However, the tweet’s video was taken down due to a copyright complaint, as reported by the Deseret News.
Yes, but: Nickelback saw its downloads for the song “Photography” jumped 569%, according to Billboard (via data from Nielsen Music).
- The song had 772,000 on-demand streams from Oct. 2 to Oct 4, which is a 38% gain from Sept. 30 to Oct. 1.
- Digital downloads for the song umped 569% from Oct. 2 to Oct. 3. For the week ending Oct. 3, the song only had 1,000 downloads, though.
