Taken from the album Nevermind, the grunge group's song has been one of the most listened to songs in the United States since the film's release.


A soundtrack sometimes gives a film its identity.

For the dark world of

The Batman

, the ballad

Something in the Way

, the last track from the album

Nevermind

, fits Robert Pattinson like a latex glove in Matt Reeves' adaptation.

“When I write, I listen to music.

As I was writing the first act, I put

Something In The Way

Discreet in the trailer, more involved in the film, the song

Something in the Way

has experienced a resurgence on the platforms.

According to Spotify, the number of plays increased by 1200% in the week following the film's release.

The craze also benefits physical sales, since

Nevermind

appeared in ninth place among the best-selling CDs and vinyls on Amazon Music.

Unlike the staples

Smells Like Teen Spirit

or

Nevermind

's inveterate hits

In Bloom

,

Something in the Way

was never released as a single, making it one of the album's least popular tracks.

Thirty years later, the trend has reversed.
