HDD: TikTok star Charli’s influence on music takes the biz by storm

[BUtterfield 8 41,664]

16-year old Charli D'Amelio has emerged as the most-followed TikTok creator with over 54m followers. Her influence on music has caught the biz by storm. The top breakthrough songs of late have one common denominator: Charli featured them on her page. 

Songs that have been featured multiple times on Charli's platform this year include Doja Cat's "Say So," Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage," BENEE's "Supalonely," Surfaces' "Sunday Best," StaySolidRocky's "Party Girl" and most recently, the world premiere of Marshmello & Halsey's "Be Kind." Is it a coincidence these tracks are now ascending to the top of DSPs and Pop charts?

the fact that it's true is kinda scary though 

[I Bow Down To Pray 193]

It won't last long though (so many influencers that were popular 5 years ago are barely internet famous now).

what's she gonna do after this. I'm genuinely concerned for some of these people. I hope we won't see them go into high fashion modelling/serious acting--bc most clearly don't have the talent for either...

why cant a gay have that power instead of a basic girl, make all the pop girls go back up the charts

they get so much money from going on youtube and doing their merch and brand deals on insta you're worrying about the wrong people lol

Honestly being a tik tok star looks exhausting, you gotta upload new content all the time and stay up with all the new trends. 

But yeah it really depends on if she is able to transition this into some sort of career a la James Charles or Bretman Rock

i'm not worried about their finances, i'm worried about society breeding a bunch of teenagers who think all they need to do is go viral for a couple months and then they'll be set for life living out a greatly unfulfilling existence past their teen years
