Leonard Cohen in London in 2001.Eamonn McCabe—Getty Images by [Kate Samuelson](https://time.com/author/kate-samuelson/) ## Kate Samuelson Nov 22, 2016 2:17 PM UTC [Leonard Cohen](http://time.com/4567414/leonard-cohen-best-songs-listen-essential/)‘s enduring ballad “[Hallelujah](http://time.com/4567693/leonard-cohen-hallelujah-history/)” has made its first appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, two weeks after the musician’s death. According to [_Billboard_](http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/7581662/leonard-cohens-hallelujah-hits-hot-100-for-first-time)and Nielsen Music, the song received 33,000 downloads (up 1,177%) and 3.8 million U.S. steams (a 279% increase) in the week ending Nov. 17\. “Gains for ‘Hallelujah’ on the latest charts reflect a full week of consumption following the news of \[Cohen’s\] passing,” the article reads. The song is currently listed at No. 59 on the chart. According to a recent profile of Cohen in [the _New Yorker_](http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/17/leonard-cohen-makes-it-darker), ‘Hallelujah’ took the singer five years and multiple drafts to write before he settled on the finished version. It was released as a track on Cohen’s 1984 album _Various Positions_, but it was not well received by the singer’s record label at first. The song’s growth in popularity was instead driven by other artists, including Bono, Willie Nelson and Justin Timberlake, who translated their admiration for Cohen’s song into their own versions. Bob Dylan performed the song on the road in the late ’80s, [telling _The New Yorker_](http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/17/leonard-cohen-makes-it-darker) “That song ‘Hallelujah’ has resonance for me…this song has a connective chorus, which when it comes in has a power all of its own.” The Canadian singer/songwriter died on Nov. 7 at the age of 82. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4579763/hallelujah-leonard-cohen-billboard-chart/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4579763/hallelujah-leonard-cohen-billboard-chart/"},"headline":"Hallelujah!
