This Female Musician is Going Viral On TikTok with Her Song
Gracie Abrams just hit No. 4 on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 with one of her best songs right now "I Love You, I’m Sorry"
TikTok sees that's a good song so will definitely promote it for her. She's lucky to have it happening on TikTok instead of other platforms because nowadays, songs don’t blow up because of radio play or strategic releases anymore, it’s all about going viral on TikTok and you're a hit.
Just get one viral lip-sync or one trending video and you'll suddenly be climbing the charts. But for real, TikTok being able to do this kind of cheapens the artistry itself or maybe it doesn't.
Because now I ask myself, are the people even listening to the song or they are just here for the 10-second clip? But at least it's making an impact and that's what every musician really wants.
Gracie’s track didn't just climb straight up when it was first released, it was at No. 34 on the chart then it dropped off and afterwards came back stronger.
The way that TikTok trends shift is almost like how volatile crypto is, your music or content could be off the radar in one moment and the next, you're right at the top of the charts.
It’s not just the new artists that are benefitting from TikTok's power also the old ones like Johnny Cash. His song titled Folsom Prison Blues is at No. 7 because of hurricanes. It'll probably drop by the time you read this blog and check or maybe it'll be higher, that's what I'm trying to say, it's very unpredictable now.
TikTok can resurrect music from decades ago, and that'll give it a whole new audience. I bet there's a teenager right now who just started following Micheal songs because they heard trailer on TikTok.
I think it's a very good thing because it'll connect Young generations to old music. I wonder who's getting paid if Micheal Jackson's songs are still earning money. Can someone answer that question for me?

The estate of Micheal Jackson owns his catalog I believe. Jackson bought the catalogs of many artists. Most notably he bought the Beatles catalog
oh then this perfectly answers my question. Now I see where the Beatles catalog is right now... Thank man
