The buzz surrounding HBO Max’s latest hit show continues to grow even after the conclusion of its first season. The lead singles from the beloved soundtrack of “Heated Rivalry” have now found their way onto the latest Billboard charts, as reported by the music magazine on Jan. 24.
Peter Peter, a Canadian musician, has made his Billboard chart debut with two songs from the soundtrack – “It’s You” and “Rivalry.” These tracks have debuted on Billboard’s all-genre Digital Song Sales and Dance Digital Song Sales charts, respectively, after their release on Jan. 9.
“Rivalry,” the electronic-dance track that kicks off the soundtrack album, has secured the No. 3 spot on the Dance Digital Song Sales survey. On the other hand, “It’s You,” featured in the second episode, has entered the Digital Song Sales chart at No. 19. Notably, it is the only track on the soundtrack with vocals, according to Billboard.
Fans of the show flooded the comments section of Billboard’s Instagram post, showing their support for the songs and the series. The two songs, performed, written, and produced by Peter Peter, are part of the full 34-track score soundtrack released on Jan. 16 for season 1 of “Heated Rivalry,” which has already been renewed for a second season.
Set in the high-stakes world of professional hockey, the series follows the secret, years-long love affair between rival stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. Premiered on Nov. 28 on HBO Max, the show is based on the bestselling novels by Rachel Reid.
In a recent episode of “Saturday Night Live,” a spoof of “Heated Rivalry” featuring Harry Potter characters was aired, imagining a new series called “Heated Wizardry.” The hilarious skit starred Finn Wolfhard and Ben Marshall as Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, respectively, exchanging heated words during their first day at Hogwarts.
As the spotlight shines on the music of “Heated Rivalry,” Peter Peter’s chart success marks a new milestone in his career, solidifying his position as a rising talent in the industry. With fans eagerly awaiting the second season, the show’s influence shows no signs of waning.
