Tina Turner Tops 40 Million U.S. Streams in Week After Her Death


Fans have rallied to the late Tina Turner’s catalog in massive numbers in the week following the icon’s death.

Her tracks collected more than 40 million U.S. on-demand streams from May 24, the day of her passing, through the six days after, according to preliminary reports to Luminate.

Turner, the electric performer whose career spanned multiple generations and multiple genres – with pop, rock, soul and even country among her gifts – died at age 83 on May 24 at her home in Switzerland.

Tina Turner’s social media pages released the following statement:

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tina Turner. With her music and her boundless passion for life, she enchanted millions of fans around the world and inspired the stars of tomorrow. Today we say goodbye to a dear friend who leaves us all her greatest work: her music. All our heartfelt compassion goes out to her family. Tina, we will miss you dearly.

Her legacy includes a rare double induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as she was honored in 1991 as part of Ike & Tina Turner and again in 2021 for her solo efforts.

Artists and fans around the world have shared their condolences. Mick Jagger said “She was truly an enormously talented performer and singer. She was inspiring, warm, funny and generous. She helped me so much when I was young and I will never forget her.”

Other notable mentions include Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, John Oates from Hall & Oates, Diana Ross, Michael Bolton, Mariah Carey, and John Fogerty.
