HBO's Heated Rivalry series has taken TV by storm with its romance story set in the world of hockey, but it has also introduced Gen Z fans to one of the biggest pop hits during the early 2000s. Heated Rivarly's recent episode used "All The Things She Said," by t.A.T.u, which generated a spike in Spotify numbers.
Anyone who grew up in the 2000s listened to the Russian pop duo consisting of Lena Katina and Julia Volkov religiously. The pair shot to international fame with their provocative, chart-topping hits “All the Things She Said” and “Not Gonna Get Us,” songs that dominated radio airwaves, MTV rotations, and pop culture conversations around the world.
In Heated Rivalry Episode 4, there's a pivotal scene that's been circulating on TikTok that uses both t.A.T.u. and British artist Harrison’s versions of the song. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the song has gained twice as many streams thanks to the new episode that was released on December 12.
The data shows the song has surged by 135% in the United States since the episode aired, racking up more than 700 million streams on Spotify. The platform also reports a 200% spike in new listeners discovering the track, with Gen Z driving 60% of that growth.
Released in 2002, the track served as t.A.T.u.’s lead single from their first English-language album, 200 km/h in the Wrong Lane, and quickly topped charts across Europe. In the United States, it peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100, making t.A.T.u. the first Russian act to break into the Top 40.
The single became one of the era's top hits, with its music video sparking controversy with Katina and Volkov appearing to kiss in the rain. It led to political statements and performances by the duo, with certain radio stations having banned or censored them for being suggestive.
Katina and Volkov disbanded in 2011, but have reunited over the years for special performances. Their recent comeback was a one-night-only show on July 19, 2025, in Yalta, Crimea.
