Phil Collins' song 'In the Air Tonight' is back on the music charts nearly 40 years after its release, thanks to a viral YouTube video.

"He dropped a beat three minutes in a song," said Fred."That's unique. I've never seen that."

"I'm not sure why, but watching this brought tears to my eyes," one person commented."The innocence and the discovery perhaps." "When that drum solo kicked in, i pounded it on the dashboard and he thumped it on the steering wheel. I'll never forget how fun those few minutes were," she wrote."I'm so glad you liked this song. Thanks for helping an old rocker chick remember this great memory."

roseymciver You can’t hurry love for this song

Can picture Crockett & Tubbs while listening to this classic song.

Wasting time seeing this video with those two .... guys.

BlaineStewart thanks to those YouTube twins!!

I guess on the weekends news networks rebroadcast everything 9 or 10 times. but the first time I saw this, I wasn't impressed and I'm not impressed now.

This you retweet non-stop, but not CannonHinnant SayHisName, !!!!

Really? I thought it was because it was on CVS smash hits.

This amazing song also charted in 1988 and 2007.

Oh Laahhhd! FORTY YEARS? 🤦‍♀️ Guess it shouldn’t surprise me, I REMEMBAH...how could I ever forget listening to this cassette tape on my Walkman! EIGHTIES PhilCollins

Ok by me👍🏼👋🏼

Oh lord!

कांग्रेस सरकार गहलौत गद्दार इंदरागांधी के हतयारे को फांसी की सजा हो ओ मादरचौद गहलोतिया ओ साले गुंडों तुम्हारे बाप का माल नहीं हमारे खून पसीने की कमाई का पैसा वापिस दे हरामीयों कीऔलाद हराम का पैसा तेरे नाक में से निकलेगा परिवार सहित बुरी मोत मरेगा साले कुत्ते

Loved Phil from he was in Genesis!!!

WOW.....THIS IS BIG NEWS!!

It was great back then

Que loucura!

Thank you Phil for all the music!!

Ssuuu-suuu-suuudio

Sweet! Classic 😅

Great song. Drum solo. Miami Vice episode. Unfortunately, song reminds me of my former husband.

The fact that anyone is surprised by the drum-solo-in-the-middle thing makes me so sad.

Have you really lived if you haven’t air drummed to that song?

Fuckin YouTube 😈

It's a classic. 👍

Miami vice 1980s

Hamarneezy

As it should be.

Posted ad nauseam for days, still not newsworthy. Let it GO.

Unpopular opinion Nonpoint’s remake is better

TwinsTheNewTrend hot 🔥

Youth wants to hear good music again,..... British Music !!

cue the drum solo!

Glad the new generation looks back as well!

IAmSophiaNelson Great song.

Nice

Back when MTV actually played music...

Meanwhile, it still doesn't showcase the talent of his drumming..... it highlights how much echo people used to use in the 80s and why everyone should hate triggered drums.

As a long time Colts season ticket holder, every time I hear this song I always think of GaryBrackett58 playing the air drums during pre-game warm ups for the colts as they always played this song.

Is it a Covid joke?

Not newsworthy, esp when posted 5x a day.

THAT SOUNDS IS A MASTERPIECE....

Let me set the record straight on something what was said., And by the way, just get this straight.. And there is committed to t he act of abuse of black violence You had your turn.. .

Really? I mean I love that song and it's possibly his best song to date but its charting again?

please don't tell me this means miami vice is gonna make a comeback too? i mean the remake with foxx and farrell still hurts, oh yea still hurts...

Sheep

Love Genesis, but in the air will forever be in my jukbox from hell playlist. I spent 16 hours in the Astrodome at the Texxas Jam the year this was released. The Raido station piped in played it every 90 minutes.

Love it!!

Good story for once, well done to the gents and of course PC

Damn you guys are only about 28 hours late to the party.

What about 'Illegal alien'. Remember that video?

Gotta love the inter webs!

Imagined if they would have thrown a hissy fit, and had it taken down immediately over copyrighted infringement.? That free endorsement has made them more money instead of losing money. Same for Dolly Parton's, now viral song.

When Kamala was chosen: I can feel it coming in the air tonight Oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, Oh Lord..

Great song, I always liked Phil Collin’s music. Funny seeing young people in the viral video listen to music from way back when for the first time.

Please shut down YouTube If this doesn't make things clear, what needs to happen?

What's next? This pandemic has been so crazy!

unagi_anago Anyone remember the false rumor about this song, a drowning, and a guilt-ridden guy at a Phil Collins concert?

Nearly naked Phil Collins is something I thought not to see again.

And he showed me that poor kids are just as smart as white kids!. Calm down. Number one, as I said at the outset,, They did it in the Ebola crisis., and the kids, they loved it too man.. It ' s conversation there has to dramatically doctor

This is why I don't understand bands that block reaction videos on Youtube. It can lead to them making more money. Artists, let people discover and enjoy your music! Stop being greedy bastards. Led Zepplin I'm looking at you.

Great song

This media phenomenon is called 'synchronized swimming.' different media, same note, same day, and sometimes even the same title.

bethlesen look what you did! 😂👍

Stop torturing SportsJimShow !

استمع لأغانيه لأكثر من 25 عاما وما زلت ... phil وأغانيه الساحرة مزيج من الحب والليل والهدوء والنجاح وكل شيء ... له معزه خاصه هذا الفنان الجميل 👌🏻

Those boys are great. Love their channel.

Not bad for a 4 track recording.

Another days i'm paradise...

Never understood why the song was so popular, but I guess it is peak 80s, so why not? 😑

Best song ever!

Best drum solo ever

Can’t keep a good drum beat down

Oh lord...

'BidenHarris of Tonight' I can feel it comin BidenHarris of tonight..Oh Lawd.. And I've been waitin for this moment all my life..Oh Lawd.. Can you feel it comin BidenHarris of tonight..Oh Lawd, oh Lawd..

Slow news day?

The most boring song ever recorded except for the super compressed drum fill.
