Day-one chart numbers
Reported (Kworb, from Spotify's daily charts):
| Chart | Oct 16 position | Oct 16 streams |
|---|---|---|
| Global | #41 | 2,129,960 |
| United States | #27 | 598,112 |
| United Kingdom | #49 | 147,507 |

On October 17 it fell to #108 Global with 1,372,112 streams. Kworb's running total of chart streams across both days is 3,502,072. That counts only streams on days the song charted. It's not the song's lifetime total. spotify-top.com tracks the same chart history.
How to read these numbers
Analysis:
- A #41 global debut for a trailer song is strong, since it arrived mid-week with no album around it. Hit singles typically debut much higher. The fair comparison is other game-trailer songs.
- The day-two drop is normal for a song driven by a single event (the October 15 trailer). Watch whether it climbs back near launch, when the radio stations and album arrive.
- Chart streams undercount. Spotify's public charts only list songs above each day's cut-off, so plays in non-charting countries are missing.
- Don't trust round "X million in 24 hours" claims on social media unless they cite a chart or Spotify's own figures.
Where the song comes from
Confirmed: Rockstar's launch trailer page features "Flower in a Hurricane". The single is on streaming services, for example Apple Music, credited to Justice featuring Tame Impala, SZA and King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard. Rockstar's Spotify partnership goes back to album-cover-style billboards in LA, New York and Miami in September (GTA BOOM). The score side is in our Justice score guide.
