Don't Stop Believin'

The finale of The Sopranos may have irritated some fans (I saw the last five minutes on You Tube and thought it was great), but it's been fantastic for Journey.

According to Legacy Recordings, a division of Sony BMG Music Entertainment, downloads of the song from iTunes went from about 1,000 on the day before the episode to 6,531 the day after. For the week, the song climbed to No. 17 in popularity on iTunes, while the band’s “Greatest Hits” also cracked the Top 20.

On the radio,airplay of “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” increased 192 percent Monday through Thursday over the first four days of the previous week, according to Nielsen BDS, which tracks airplay.

I think a lot of people watched the finale and thought "Hey, I kind of like that song." I certainly couldn't get it out of my head for a few days after hearing it in the clip.

Don't get me wrong...it's not like I'm going to go out and start listening to this song or anything.
