Did TikTok save Bebe Rexha?

Featured Replies

Her single "I'm Good (Blue)" is a global smash - going #1 in Australia, Switzerland, Finland and Norway and already top 5 in 20+ countries in its first week of tracking

 

David Guetta first played the song during his set at Ultra Music Festival 2017. However, it was not until August 2022 that a snippet of the song would go viral. By time it was released, it had already amassed 130,000 creations and 500 million total views on TikTok and they rush released the release.

 

Her last album "Better Mistakes" debuted at #140 on the Billboard 200 in May 2021.

No. A tiktok hit doesnt mean you have a career, there's a lot of one hit wonder-hits coming from the medium.

 

She has a smash tho and could profit of off that 

 

it is a smash with or without tiktok. people just needed to hear it.  it happens that tiktok was how it got discovered and spread to begin with. 

considering that they recorded AND released it because of tiktok... yes? :rip: 

This is such a tired ‘drag’. Songs going viral is not a crutch, especially not for someone like her or David Guetta. :rip: The app making songs hits is not some kind of payola or something. It’s genuine and organic and it’s impressive because it’s pure demand. Stop acting like it ‘saves peoples careers’

It's more impressive it went viral and no one was claiming payola :rip:

 

Project your insecurities somewhere else 

Every song that becomes a hit nowadays is due to TikTok so yes

Not really. She seems to get a smash every couple of years so she was due for one. She’s still faceless tho

Project my insecurities? You’re very weird. :rip: 

 

It’s just this dumb argument people keep making repeatedly when artists get hits. People did it with Lizzo earlier this year. A hit is a hit. People act like TikTok is some kind of cheap payolaesque thing and it’s really not, simple as that, but y’all aren’t so keen on picking up on basic concepts sometimes, clearly.

No bc it's short term success and limited to one song

Her career is not necessarily saved or revived, she's always had hits here and there and this is no different, it just does not translate to album sales

 

Didn't her last album sell like 700 copies... she deserves better.

Ignore that person he literally called me a wierdo just because I was asking about an artists music. He just seems very angry for no reason.  :skull: 

Not yet. If they REALLY want to save her, we'll see her best record "I Can't Stop Drinking About You" show up on the Billboard Hot 100.

 

 

Not really, regardless of TikTok Bebe always gets a smash hit out of nowhere :skull:

 

Her next album will tank too but then she'll have another monster hit after that, and so on. It's always like that

Exactly. :dies: 

Bebe is the roach of pop.

She is not destined for superstardom but somehow always stays afloat by scoring random mega hits. 

The only good song she has put out is sacrifice and it’s her biggest flop so I think people just like generic music from her 

It will still do nothing for her career though

 

She has had multiple smashes before and no one bothered to check out her new album

Most singers, actors, producers, etc. will never be superstars. Having gigs and success here and there is a much more sustainable existence.

It's not even about being a superstar, it's more about having a brand and standing out. There are many stars that aren't exactly huge but have loyal fan bases and have left a mark in some way like Charli XCX, Tove Lo etc. 

Bebe has nothing to offer tbh
