Jeff Buckley's haunting ballad "Lover, You Should've Come Over" has finally reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart, marking a poignant milestone in the late singer-songwriter's posthumous career resurgence.
The song, originally released on his 1994 album "Grace," was catapulted to new heights by its explosive popularity on social media platforms such as TikTok. Fans used snippets of the track to create emotive and introspective videos, generating a tidal wave of online interest that eventually translated into mainstream success.
Buckley's music has always held a special place in the hearts of fans worldwide, even in death. His iconic rendition of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" first cracked the Billboard charts in 2008, reentering them after Cohen's passing in 2016 and becoming a staple of pop culture.
Similarly, Buckley's posthumous chart success follows a pattern set by his other songs. After his death, four more titles from his catalog made an impact on the Billboard 200, further solidifying his enduring influence on music.
The renewed attention surrounding "Lover, You Should've Come Over" has also boosted the album "Grace," which previously peaked at No. 149. The LP's recent jump to No. 82 is a testament to Buckley's timeless appeal and his ability to transcend generations of listeners.
With this latest achievement, Jeff Buckley continues to prove that his music lives on long after his passing, speaking to those who are still drawn to the haunting beauty of his voice and the depth of his artistry.
