Over the past year or so we have seen quite a few country artists take off on Tik Tok, many of them finding huge success on the iTunes chart and some of them even being signed to major labels. I love these kinds of stories - especially coming out of 2020 where many traditional ways new artists get themselves noticed (playing bars, etc) have not been an option. I thought it would be interesting to track some of the country artists who have found success from Tik Tok.
Please reply with any that I missed or as you come across them yourself! I am sure there are many, many more.
Major Label Artists discovered from Tik Tok:
Priscilla Block (UMG)
Andrew Jannakos (Sony)
Robyn Ottolini (Warner)
Lily Rose (Big Loud)
Jaden Hamilton (Sony)
iTunes Charted Songs & Other Popular Songs from Tik Tok
Priscilla Block - "Just About Over You" (All Genre #1 & Charting on Country Airplay) & "Thick Thighs"

Found this artist today on Tik Tok and her song is climbing the iTunes charts. It looks like she is signed to Big Machine but I can't tell if it's just a writing deal or what's going on exactly. I really do think this song is catchy and one of the better ones I've heard come out of a viral video, kind of gives me Cassadee Pope pop/rock vibes.

Thank God for Tik Tok. When I want to hear a country song about tag teaming I now know where to go. I didn't think anyone could top Wheeler Walker Jr. I was wrong.

"Dicked Down in Dallas" is a jam and better than anything Wheeler Walker Jr. has ever put forth, lol. He definitely has a good voice. That said, IMO, the song is slightly over the top. And I am not offended by 2 Live Crew or Cardi B's more graphic tunes. |

Currently watching Maddie Zahm climb the country iTunes chart again. She's been one of my personal favorite Tik Tok artists to watch. This song "Family Reunions" has a killer hook and sounds like an absolute country hit. It went mega viral and kind of gives me Ingrid Andress energy but with better vocals. I hope it can sell or stream enough to get a label's attention.

I hate the comparison to Wheeler because DDID to me isn’t even a comedy song. It’s about a guy that’s upset his girl left him. |
