Another SQ21 route of flight question

Last night I was on UA932 IAD-FRA listening to channel 9 which is the audio channel that allows one to hear live ATC transmissions.

Shortly after passing New York, I heard SQ21 on our frequency.

In fact, it was with us over Gander through centers in Ireland, London and Maastricht.

I know our flight arrived FRA almost an hour early due to tail winds well over 100 mph for the entire flight.

Is this why SQ21 went over the Atlantic or is this normal?
