Ocean Alley - Confidence
'Confidence' is the chart topping single from Ocean Alley.
Since November 1, the song has seen a 1142% increase of average daily streams on Spotify, and a 2571% increase on Apple Music, initially led by the Behind Every Girl TikTok trend - spawning billions of views, and the audio being used over 93,000 times on platform.
Off-the-back of the viral TikTok trend, daily streams of “Confidence” in the USA have overtaken Australia for the first time ever, with an uplift in consumption globally seeing the track reach over 1 million streams per day. The song has placed on Spotify’s Top 50 Chart in New Zealand (#8), Australia (#15), UK (#35), as well placing on the Viral 50 Chart in USA (#1), Iceland (#1), Lithuania (#1), Denmark (#2), Portugal (#2), UK (#2), Ireland (#2), Sweden (#3), Canada (#3), Norway (#3) and #4 in each of South Africa, Belgium and Netherlands, just to name a few. The track has also landed as high as #9 on Spotify’s Viral 50 - Global Chart and #66 on Shazam’s Global Chart.
The track is from the bands 2nd album 'Chiaroscuro. Since release, the track has gone on to achieve 6x Platinum certification in Australia, and earlier this year, surpassed 110 million streams on Spotify alone. For the first time, during the week of November 27 2023, the track landed in the US Billboard Singles Charts for Rock & Alternative, landing at #15 Hot Alternative Songs, #21 Hot Rock Songs and #27 Hot Rock & Alternative Songs, #16 in New Zealand’s Top 40 Singles, and #19 in the UK’s Independent Single Breakers Chart. At home, the song re-entered the ARIA Singles Chart at #40 this week, more than five years since the track first debuted.
With its stacked harmonies and soulful swagger, “Confidence” resonated with Ocean Alley’s home audience in Australia following the release of their breakthrough second album, Gold-certified Chiaroscuro. It became the song of the summer, taking out the #1 spot in Australia’s largest annual music poll - triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2018. It also found fans in internet celebs like the Dolan Twins and One Directioner Louis Tomlinson. “Confidence” peaked at #9 on the ARIA Singles Chart and Year-end chart performance saw the single placed at #64, later nominated for Song of the Year at the 2019 ARIA Music Awards and Rock Work of the Year at the 2019 APRA Music Awards.
The resurgence of “Confidence” follows a huge 12 months of touring for the band - selling more than 42,000 tickets across their Australian headline shows, plus a further 35,000 tickets sold across 34 shows in the UK, Europe, North America and New Zealand. The band had a number of key festival call-ups, including replacing Lewis Capaldi at the last minute for Splendour In The Grass. Continuing to grow their devoted following both at home and abroad, Ocean Alley are solidifying their place as one of Australia’s most beloved and influential bands, and are poised to make an indelible mark on the global music scene for years to come.
