Drake broke TikTok’s record – VG

Reports various media, including The Sun.

Not since Kylie Jenner’s “Rise and Shine” last fall has a challenge in the TikTok video app – it went through a billion views so fast. So now three billion has passed, and the count continues.

Since then, local stars like Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo, Ciara, and Chance The Rapper have also taken up the challenge under the #toosieslide theme.

There is no doubt that TikTok is the number one app for the youngest audience right now; According to National Public Radio (NPR), all of the top five songs on the Billboard Hot 100 are the result of a TikTok challenge.

Also, Drake’s video for “Toosie Slide” works relatively well on YouTube during the day. It’s approaching 45 million views after just over two weeks online, and the video testifies that Drake has carefully thought in the direction.

It begins with images of crowded streets in his hometown of Toronto, before leading viewers through his own mansion, with his own basketball court and ten-car garage, where both the song and video are recorded.

And let it be said immediately; tourism shows that Drake has made a lot of money even before …
