The British musician can thank the 22-year-old twins Tim and Fred Williams from Gary, India, for placing him on the no. 3rd place on the iTunes shortcut after her reaction to the song went viral.
The twins recorded themselves on YouTube back in late July, listening to the 1981 song and were completely blown away by Collins’ talents and specifically the famous drum break in the hit.
