Frank Ocean‘s headlining set at Coachella may have been met with mixed reviews, but it’s also had a positive affect on his streams. Billboard reports the singer’s on-demand U.S. streams between April 15, the day of the show, and April 17 went from 5.2 million to 10.1 million, a 94% increase, according to Luminate.
Songs that particularly saw a rise in streams include “Pink + White,” which saw a 54% increase; “Nights,” up 94%; and “Novacane,” which gained 50% more streams.
As reported, Frank took the Coachella stage Sunday, arriving nearly an hour late and performing a set different than the one he’d intended. He was forced to nix a skating rink and accompanying routine after injuring a leg, which ultimately resulted in him pulling out for weekend two.
“It was chaotic,” he said of his performance in a recent statement. “There is some beauty in chaos. It isn’t what I intended to show but I did enjoy being out there and I’ll see you soon.”
