Tadhana's Ride to 400 Million Streams

While I still believe that nothing beats the sparkling sound of a spinning vinyl record, I am very thankful that streaming platforms have been invented.

I love the fact that those modern creations keep recordings no matter from where or when available all the time.

Just think, without something like Spotify online, those who wanted to get a copy of Tadhana by Up Dharma Down (UDD) would have had to scour record bars trying to get a 45 RPM single or the Up Dharma Down album, Capacities, and most likely those would not have been available anymore.

Back in the old days, it was the practice of record stores to return unbought copies of old slow-selling singles and albums back to the labels to make room for new releases. And although Tadhana is now considered timeless, it is most certainly old.

Up Dharma Down's former girl soloist and keyboard player Armie Millare composed Tadhana and it was recorded by Up Dharma Down in 2017. The song was used as the theme of a GMA 7 anthology series on television, hosted by Marian Rivera. It was also later used in the soundtrack of the movie "That Thing Called Tadhana."
