Adele's breakout single is broadly charting today, tracked across 43 country and platform charts after a month-long dip. The likeliest engine is TikTok, where the track's opening bars have been paired with a scene from the final season of Stranger Things — the kind of prestige-TV needle-drop energy the song has courted since its release. That heritage runs deep: the "dark blues-y gospel disco" cut, as Adele herself described it, first gained attention through a trailer for I Am Number Four and later soundtracked a Gossip Girl season finale, a Doctor Who premiere, and the Scandal pilot promo. As the lead single from 21, it was Adele's first US number one, holding the top of the Hot 100 for seven weeks. Fifteen years on, it remains her most durable calling card.
