Was only a matter of time tbh. Nowadays a lot of hit songs start going viral on TikTok before hitting the charts.

I just wish they did this earlier when Weeekly's 'After School' went viral on the app. The song has now been used in close to 400,000 videos. For a rookie group, that's pretty darn impressive. To put it into perspective, their debut song 'Tag Me' has only been used in 3800 videos. Their closes competitor is STAYC and 'ASAP' has been used in 37,000 videos despite performing better on Korean charts. aespa's 'Black Mamba' and 'Next Level' were used in 69k and 34k videos respectively.

Heck, even as someone who ults TWICE, I'm not surprised that 'After School' has been used more than pretty much every TWICE song on the app with ICSM being the closest with 308k videos.
