So, what next? Littlemore said he wants to take this moment in time, this achievement and attention, and use it to nurture, spotlight and grow other artists who may not have had such opportunities yet. At time of writing, it’s climbed to #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US. The song went #1 in the UK and #2 here in Australia. “We feel incredibly grateful and it’s a privilege to work with Sir Elton and Bernie, and any chance we get and to have Dua Lipa grace our record, it’s a dream come true,” he added. Having the song act as a springboard for PNAU to reach millions of listeners is ‘surreal’, he said, noting the group is now being mentioned in the same breath as other world-leading artists. And it’s not an overdone record… It’s just ignited people in a nostalgic way, and I guess we’ve all had a lot of time to reflect over the past 18 months, and a song like this brings up all this nostalgia of our youth and of times long gone.” “Obviously Dua Lipa carries such a weight right now in the world, and it was just the right time for the right record.
“I think it’s probably the combination,” he said. Littlemore told TMN a combination of factors had seen ‘Cold Heart’ – a track featuring the amalgamated lyrics of four songs from the 1970s to the 1990s – go off globally, and it’s not just the Sir Elton John effect. PNAU was this week sitting at #88 on Spotify, with over 27 million monthly listeners. The streams are largely originating from the group’s ‘Cold Heart’ track featuring Elton John and Dua Lipa – currently #7 on the Spotify Global Chart – however band member Nick Littlemore told The Music Network that fans are now going deeper and discovering more of PNAU’s back catalogue.
Australian dance act PNAU has this week made it into an elite group of artists who are generating the most streams on Spotify.
