Spotify reported that streams of Janet Jackson’s 1986 hit “Nasty” increased by 250% following Trump’s debate comment last night. It’s fitting that this streaming highlight would happen to Jackson, who’s already having a significant year; the 50-year-old singer recently [announced her pregnancy](http://time.com/4527745/janet-jackson-pregnant/ "undefined") and was also named as a [2017 nominee for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame](https://www.rockhall.com/vote "undefined").
