British songstress Amy Macdonald has elucidated how Cristiano Ronaldo’s impact has significantly contributed to her topping the Spotify charts in Saudi Arabia.
Macdonald’s 2007 hit, “This Is The Life,” has gained immense popularity in the Middle East, and it’s all thanks to the intriguing role played by Ronaldo.
Macdonald disclosed that the surge in the song’s popularity can be attributed to montage highlight videos featuring Ronaldo playing alongside her music as the backdrop. She explained (according to GOAL):
“I had started noticing I was getting a lot of comments in Arabic on social media. I was like, ‘It looks lovely but I’ve got no idea what it says,’ and there was just more and more of it.”
Furthermore, Macdonald shared:
“Somebody looked into it and there seems to be a lot of videos on social media using This Is The Life that are like Ronaldo playing football in Saudi Arabia. I said to one of my mates about it and they sent me a Photoshop of Jordan Henderson wearing an Amy Macdonald t-shirt.”
Cristiano Ronaldo, a superstar at Al-Nassr, and Jordan Henderson, a recent signing at Al-Ettifaq, both hold esteemed positions in the Saudi Pro League. Their influence transcends the soccer field, as they’ve been instrumental in rejuvenating Macdonald’s song from over 15 years ago and catapulting it to viral fame.
