Bonnie Tyler Will Perform ‘Total Eclipse of the Heart’ as Moon Eclipses Sun

Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart” is a legendary pop song with an evergreen eminence that 80s fans around the world can testify to. In August, the Welsh singer will perform the song on the Royal Caribbean’s Total Eclipse Cruise during – wait for it – the actual solar eclipse.

If that isn’t the most perfect fusion of pop and science, we frankly don’t know what is.

Mark it in your calendars. On Monday, August 21, 2017, a total solar eclipse, during which the moon fully covers the sun, will be visible to all of North America. Those lucky enough to be on the path of totality from Lincoln Beach, Oregon, to Charleston, South Carolina, will have a view of the total eclipse. Observers who are not along the path of totality will still get to experience a partial eclipse.

“It’s going to be so exciting,” the singer told Time Magazine. “It doesn’t happen very often, does it?”

Tyler’s trademark song is naturally a go-to for many music lovers during eclipses. Spotify, the digital music service with thousands of subscribers, noticed that there was a 75 percent increase in streaming of the song after March 2016’s total solar eclipse, according to Time. After this exciting announcement went live, YouTube views of the video shot over 302 million views and will likely continue to rise.

“Total Eclipse of the Heart” was written and produced by Jim Steinman and is on Bonnie Tyler’s 1983 album “Faster Than the Speed of Night.” The single, which has sold more than 6 million copies and has made the Billboard Hot 100 and UK Singles charts — has become a favorite karaoke choice.
