Renewed Interest in 1976 Hit
Devil Woman, originally released on the album I'm Nearly Famous, previously saw a popularity bump from its use in the 2017 film I, Tonya. Its placement in the GTA 6 trailer has produced a far larger effect, with daily streams rising sharply since the Netflix extended look aired.
Richard's Comments on the Exposure
In an interview with The Times, Richard said he learned of the placement only after the fact and described the game as a television show. He noted that his nephew's children reacted strongly to hearing the track and expressed satisfaction that his catalog continues to reach new listeners.
“People will no longer just say, ‘Oh, Cliff Richard is from the past,’ Because I am, but that past is what makes everything what it is today.”
Soundtrack Context and Release Window
Rockstar has confirmed that the GTA 6 soundtrack will feature both older tracks and newer releases from artists including Yung Lean and Travis Scott. The game is scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles.
