Hadouken!’s homemade video for new single ‘Levitate’ has been viewed over 25million times on YouTube since its release on January 22.
The viral promo became the most watched video on the channel last week, and, as a result, has sent the track rocketing up iTunes charts across the globe, including Top 10’s in the UK, Canada and Australia. Incredibly, thanks to the video’s use of footage of American football, basketball and skateboarding stunts, the track is now Top Five in the US iTunes chart after selling 15,000 copies online in the past 9 days.
The success of the video in America is considered to be a major coup for the band, as they don’t have a record deal in the US and have only visited the country once. The view count has even taken the band by surprise. They wrote on Twitter: “Mind=blown”. You can watch the video for ‘Levitate’ above.
Hadouken! release their first album in three years new on February 18. Titled ‘Every Weekend’, it will feature 10 tracks including recent singles ‘Parasite’ and ‘Bad Signal’. In addition, the physical and iTunes editions of the album will come with a pair of bonus tracks, ‘Mecha Love’ and ‘Oxygen’.
