Fans have requested Bowie tracks on online connected VHubs over 11,000 times in the past week, leaving other popular artists such as Justin Bieber and Adele in the shade.
“We get on average 19,635 track plays per day, which is about 7,166,775 track plays per year on our VHub jukeboxes,” says Mike Black of Sound Leisure. “However, over 85 per cent of the tracks chosen tend to be chart or new releases.
