“I’ve been getting phone calls, mums at my kids’ schools ,” Empire of the Sun co-founder Luke Steele says of the song’s recent exposure. 30 on the Digital Songs chart - and, in turn, a place on the Hot 100, where it debuts at No. Those viewers have undoubtedly braced the Honda Civic commercial “The Dreamer” a countless number of times: a (literally) imaginative, visually stunning ad soundtracked by, of course, Empire’s “Dream.” Increased exposure of the track has led to increased digital sales - moving nearly 30,000 last week units, according to Nielsen Media, good enough to climb to No. How did this happen? Well, the answer will be unsurprising to anyone who’s sat through seven straight hours of nationally televised football these last few playoff weekends. But the really surprising thing is that it’s not a new single that marks their first appearance: It’s “Walking on a Dream,” the band’s debut single, finally charting after eight years. Though the band has managed a number of blog-conquering underground hits since their 2008 breakthrough - including “Walking on a Dream,” “We Are the People,” and “Alive,” all of which were Top 25 hits in their home country - they’ve never before cracked the pop charts in the States. Those parsing the lower stretches of Billboard‘s Hot 100 this week will come across an unexpected sight: Australian space-synth duo Empire of the Sun.
