Sweet Sexy Savage Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 "Play Date" is a song by American singer-songwriter Melanie Martinez from the deluxe edition of her debut album, Cry Baby (2015). In April 2020, the song gained popularity due to its use in an edit of actor Timothée Chalametwhich led to its widespread use on the video-sharing app TikTok, receiving over 1.9 billion views for the month.[1] On May 1, 2020, the song was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over 500,000 units in the United States. It was then certified Platinum on December 9, 2020 With the amount of streams it has now, which would equate it to being 2xP or more, do you think any other alt pop girl has a bigger song than Play Date?

I don’t think the girls here realize that Play Date was the first song to blow up and to be carried by the platform, which is why all these other girls started re releasing their old singles and making sped up versions that cater to tik tok
Gorjesspazze9 Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 Biggest no? As other songs have blown up bigger. But it was one of the early songs that started the Tiktok trends. Cry baby was a good debut concept album, I wish K-12 got more attention. Those songs would be massive on Tiktok right now

BGXKB Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 Undoubtedly one of, along with the rest of that album. Cry Baby made waves. Melanie is a main alt girl.
