Bonnie Tyler’s classic hits 1bn streams – but singer reveals it ‘makes nothing’

With her instantly recognisable gravelly-voice and big, blonde hair, Gaynor Hopkins became an international sensation as Bonnie Tyler with her 80s hit, Total Eclipse of the Heart.

43 years on, and the song has cemented its place as one of the most famous power ballads of all time by surpassing a billion streams on Spotify.

But despite joining Taylor Swift, The Weekend and Eminem in the exclusive one billion club, Neath-born Tyler says that she’s made “about nothing” in revenue from the classic track.

Nope never understood the video and all of Jim Steinman’s song are 8 minutes long.

Just something different for a snow day.
