Justin Bieber’s Weird ‘Everything Hallelujah’ Song Gets 240% Streaming Bump After World Cup

Rolling Stone · 13 hours ago

Justin Bieber's 2025 song "Everything Hallelujah" has seen a 240% surge in global Spotify streams following his acoustic performance of the track at the FIFA World Cup 2026 halftime show. The pared-down performance, introduced by Jason Sudeikis in character as Ted Lasso, puzzled many viewers who had expected the singer to play more familiar hits, but the unusual choice has nonetheless driven a significant boost in listener numbers.

The performance took place on Sunday, with some viewers criticising the acoustic rendition as an odd fit for such a high-profile sporting event, having anticipated songs like "Yukon" or "Baby" instead. Data shared with Rolling Stone shows the streaming spike coincided with "Justin Bieber hallelujah song" becoming a top Google Trends search under his name, suggesting curious fans sought out the track afterwards. This mirrors an earlier surge following Bieber's Coachella 2026 headline set, when he logged his biggest streaming day of the year on 12 April with 24.6 million streams, and went on to reach 140 million listeners within weeks.
