Evanescence’s ‘The Rehearsal’ Synch Flies to Top TV Songs Chart No. 1

25 June, 2025

After appearing in the second season of HBO’s The Rehearsal twice in the month of May, Evanescence’s “Bring Me to Life” reaches No. 1 on Billboard’s Top TV Songs chart, powered by Tunefind (a Songtradr company), for May 2025.

Rankings for the Top TV Songs chart are based on song and show data provided by Tunefind and ranked using a formula blending that data with sales and streaming information tracked by Luminate during the corresponding period of May 2025.

“Bring Me to Life,” which features vocals from Paul McCoy, was first heard in the third episode of the Nathan Fielder-led docu-comedy series’ second season, which premiered May 4; it returned on the season finale (May 25). The context of the song’s synch: Fielder posits that pilot Sully Sullenberger could have been listening to the track, No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2003, while he landed a plane in the Hudson River (the Miracle on the Hudson) in 2009.

In May 2025, “Bring Me to Life” earned 22.1 million official on-demand U.S. streams and sold 3,000 downloads, according to Luminate. It returned to Billboard’s Hard Rock Digital Song Sales chart twice, paced by an appearance at No. 6 on the May 17-dated ranking.

“Bring Me to Life” reigns on Top TV Songs over Stevie Nicks’ “Edge of Seventeen,” which enters at No. 2 after a synch in Will Trent that aired May 13. It was heard in the final episode of the third season of the ABC drama (with a fourth on the way, as it was renewed in April).

One of Nicks’ definitive solo tunes, “Edge of Seventeen,” which peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100 in 1982, earned 10.5 million streams and 2,000 downloads in May 2025.

The latest Top TV Songs also features three songs each from the premiere seasons of Netflix’s Sirens and Amazon Prime Video’s The Better Sister. Sirens leads the pair thanks to the No. 3 rank of Blue Swede’s “Hooked On a Feeling” from its fifth episode (8.7 million streams, 1,000 downloads), followed by The Rolling Stones’ “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” from The Better Sister at No. 5 (4.6 million streams, 1,000 downloads).
