SCOTUS Rulings Pushes Macklemore’s ‘Same Love’ Up The Music Charts

Macklemore‘s “Same Love” is flying up the music charts thanks to the Supreme Court ruling and “seems to have captured the nation’s mood,” the NYT reports:

On Wednesday, the same day the Supreme Court handed historic victories to same-sex couples in both cases, “Same Love” rose to No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, up from No. 65 three weeks ago. On the strength of online streaming more than airplay, the song was No. 5 on the Rap Songs chart, where lyrics in support of gay rights are almost unheard of. 

Sales of the single surged 23 percent last week from the previous week to a total of more than 788,000 copies, and views of the single’s video on YouTube had approached 53 million by Sunday.
