Although Ingrid Andress’ rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Monday night drew heavy criticism online, the moment fueled the country singer-songwriter to her best streaming day in nearly 20 months as discussion of the performance spiked interest in her wider catalog.

For July 15-16, the day of and day following the performance, Andress’ song catalog registered a total of 1.2 million official on-demand U.S. streams, according to initial data reports submitted to Luminate. The two-day figure marks a 229% surge from her catalog’s 370,000 stream haul on July 13-14, the two days preceding her performance.

Of those totals, 941,000 streams alone occurred on June 16, the single-best streaming day for Andress’ catalog since it registered 964,000 clicks on Nov. 23, 2022, when she appeared on a pre-Thanksgiving episode of Drinkin’ With on Country Music Television.
