Cliff Richard's song gets huge GTA 6 bump, but singer is clueless about the game
A classic Cliff Richard tune in the latest GTA 6 trailer has sent streams of the track soaring, but the singer himself has no idea why. Per IGN, the 1976 song "Devil Woman" saw a 325% daily streaming increase after featuring in the game's extended look.
Speaking to The Times, the 86-year-old music legend revealed he is unfamiliar with Grand Theft Auto. He reportedly thought it was a television game show when his nephew's children recognized his music.
He was quoted saying, "People will no longer just say, 'Oh, Cliff Richard is from the past.'" The singer expressed happiness that his music remains relevant.
In a separate report, IGN also highlighted a deal for the game itself. A promotion allowed players to get a $100 PlayStation Store card for $85, effectively discounting the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition. The deal has since sold out.
Grand Theft Auto 6 is scheduled to launch on November 19.
