When the holidays come around we all like to put on tunes that fit the theme of the day, and it seems that on Valentine’s Day, everyone clamours to Linkin Park. But you’ll never guess which song saw an 890% view increase on this day for lovers.
YouTube gathered statistics for the top love and break-up songs on their site, comparing their views on Valentine’s Day to the average daily views they accumulate the rest of the year. Linkin Park’s appropriately-titled track was one of the love songs with the highest spikes, following Jim Brickman and Martina McBride’s ‘Valentine’ and John Paul Young’s ‘Love Is in the Air.’
Chester Bennington’s early band Grey Daze will be releasing the album Amends on April 10, featuring the late vocalist and some other special guests.
