Donald Trump’s labeling of Hillary Clinton as “such a nasty woman” during the final presidential debate has given a boost to Janet Jackson’s 1986 hit, “Nasty.”
Spotify says streams of “Nasty” are up 250 percent, though the company wouldn’t release specific numbers.
Some Twitter users are having fun with the comment Trump made Wednesday night.
One video being shared features Janet’s video for the song with Clinton’s face crudely pasted over top of the singer’s. It references the song’s lyrics with the note, “It’s Hillary. Madame President If You’re Nasty.”
So far, Janet hasn’t weighed in on the 30-year-old song’s sudden injection into the presidential race. It’s hard to tell just how popular the song was prior. The increase is comparatively low versus other pop culture events, though.
Spotify tells Engadget that when Bob Dylan won the Nobel Prize last week, streams of his catalog spiked 512 percent between the announcement and the next day.
When Katy Perry and Missy Elliot played the Super Bowl halftime show last year, miss Mizzundaztood’s catalog bumped 676 percent with “Lose Control” skyrocketing 1,396 percent.
Janet is married to a Qatari billionaire Wissam Al-Mana. She is pregnant.
