Amazon‘s Fallout TV show has led to a massive boost in listenership for classic artists featured in the show.
The TV adaptation, which has been met with critical and fan acclaim, features music that originally appeared in the Fallout franchise, as well as new tracks exclusive to the television version.
Following its inclusion in the TV show, artists such as The Ink Spots, who perform I Don’t Want to Set the World on Fire, have seen their monthly listenership on Spotify increase by over a quarter of a million.
This is according to data compiled by Mat Ombler, using Spotify’s monthly listening data.
The biggest leap in listenership was earned by The Jet Tones, whose track Henry grew from 133 monthly listens to over 15,000. Notably, Henry wasn’t previously featured in a Fallout title.
The biggest increase in listenership for a song that prevously featured in the games was Crawl Out Through the Fallout by Sheldon Allman, which is featured in the first episode and in the TV show’s marketing material. It previously appeared in Fallout 4.

Bethesda's very own Mr Handy (director and executive producer) Todd Howard has addressed the controversy surrounding the Fallout TV show's treatment of Fallout backstory, reaffirming the canonicity of Obsidian's Fallout: New Vegas and promising that Bethesda and Amazon are being "careful" to maintain consistency between the games and the TV series. Are you new to this latest lore scandal? Watch out for Fallout Season 1 spoilers ahead, then.
Amazon's Fallout TV show has — a few minor controversies aside — been a hit with fans since arriving last week; but while the show has covered plenty of the video games' post-apocalyptic basics — from Pip-Boys and Power Armour to Vaults and Vault-Tec — not everything made the cut, and its creators have now explained they deliberately held back some «iconic» stuff, including Deathclaws, to better do them justice in a potential Season 2.
I sort of reject that the Fallout TV show has Easter eggs hidden in it because it, as a whole, is the equivalent of one of those fancy Hotel Chocolat ostrich-sized patisserie collection bastards that cost 40 quid. However. Eagle-eyed viewers of the Fallout show noted that episode 6 gives you a number for Valt-Tec that you can actually get in touch with - 213-25-VAULT (or, 213-258-2858). Charges apply, as well as international codes if you're outside the US, which makes it 001-213-258-2858.
