Ahead of England’s FIFA World Cup 2026 quarter-final win over Norway, fans flocked online to watch the iconic anthems Three Lions, Wonderwall and Hey Jude – making July 11th the most-watched day for these respective music videos so far.

Music video network Vevo analysed UK viewing habits and saw the following surges compared to daily averages on the day:


Baddiel & Skinner and The Lightning Seeds – Three Lions (Official Video)

81x the average daily views (or an +8,000 per cent lift in average daily views).
July 11th was the video’s highest-viewed day in the UK on Vevo since July 2024. The song has been described as the de facto anthem of English football since its release in 1996.

July 11th was the video’s highest-viewed day in the UK on Vevo since August 2024. A new tradition during the World Cup has seen the song being belted out by the men’s team and supporters after their victories across the tournament.
