Seven years after his death to cancer at age 18, a Minnesota singer-songwriter has returned to the top of the iTunes chart with his inspirational tune "Clouds."
"Clouds," by Zach Sobiech, took over iTunes’ No. 1 slot on Sunday, according to iTunes’ top songs chart. It comes just two days after the Hollywood movie of the same name based on Sobiech’s life premiered on Disney+.
The ranking is based on downloads of the song.
Movie about Zach Sobiech to be released on Disney Plus
The single first climbed to the top of iTunes in 2013, shortly after the Stillwater-area teenager’s death. Sobiech had been diagnosed with bone cancer four years earlier.
The movie is an adaptation of the memoir "Fly a Little Higher" by Zach’s mother, Laura Sobiech. It was filmed in some parts of Minnesota, including the Mall of America last Christmas during the Clouds Choir for a Cause concert.
