Singer Celine Dion’s song ‘My Heart Will Go On’ reportedly saw a surge on streaming platforms after the search for a missing submersible exploring Titanic wreckage came to an end.
The news came in the days following the search of the submersible, which recorded the death of five people on board due to a ‘catastrophic implosion’. OceanGate’s submarine, Titan, shook the world while sparking great interest in the 1912 tragic incident of the great Titanic; and the 1997 movie of the same name based on the tragedy starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet.

However, The Inquirer debunked all such reports, claiming that Billboard chart records show that the title track of the 1997 movie did not resurface on the Hot 100 or Hot 200 Charts this week.
It also dismissed another claim made by the tweet that the song received nearly ‘8 million streams on Spotify’, revealing that the charts data for the platform does not reflect those statistics.
“My Heart Will Go On” is a 1997 song recorded by the Canadian singer Celine Dion as the theme for the film Titanic. It was composed by James Horner, with lyrics by Will Jennings. It was produced by Horner, Walter Afanasieff and Simon Franglen.
