Nirvana: “Something in the Way” returns to the Billboard Top 10 thanks to ‘Batman’


-Robert Pattinson's decision to be an emo Batman has really connected with the public. Since the release of 'The Batman', Nirvana's “Something in the Way” – which appears twice in the film as an impromptu song for the Kurt-Cobain-inspired “Bruce Wayne” – has seen a massive increase in streaming numbers and Sales.


According to Billboard, "Something in the Way" received 3.1 million streams in the US alone during the first four days of The Batman's release, March 4-7. In the four days prior to the release of the tape, the song received 372,000 reproductions, which represents an increase of 734% in that period.


The biggest bounce occurred between Sunday March 6 and Monday March 7, when the topic went from 808,000 streams to 1.5 million, an increase of 86%. On Tuesday, March 9, the song had slipped into the top 5 of the ranking of the 50 best songs on Spotify.

-These figures also put “Something in the Way” on several Billboard song charts, including No. 6 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart; number 20 on the Digital Song Sales; and number 27 on the Billboard Streaming Songs.

“Something in the Way” provides the soundtrack to the earnest “Batman” monologues in the film, but it first appeared in a trailer for the project in 2020. At the time, the song reached No. 2 on the sales chart. of digital rock songs and number 45 in the ranking of sales of digital songs of all genres.

Director Matt Reeves explained Nirvana's influence on his Batman film noir in an interview with Esquire, comparing "Wayne" to Cobain, saying they're both addicts in a way.

“In the beginning, when he was writing, he started listening to Nirvana, and there was something in 'Something in the Way', which is in the first trailer, that is part of the voice of that character (…) Is he a moody guy, reckless and drug addict? And the truth is, he's kind of a junkie. His drug is his addiction to this drive for revenge. He's like a Kurt Cobain from Batman."
