Whether they were hitting the woahs to Megan Thee Stallion’s
“Savage'' or getting in the “Mood” with 24kGoldn, without a doubt,
creators have propelled new artists to popularity and catapulted
tracks into the music charts. According to “Year on TikTok: Music
2020” report, more than 176 different songs surpassed 1 billion
video views as TikTok sounds in 2020. Nearly 90 of these songs that
trended on TikTok in 2020 climbed onto the Top 100 charts in the
U.S., with 15 of those reaching #1 on a Billboard chart. In the
past year, more than 70 artists who became popular on the platform
have also received major label deals. Of the tracks that trended on
TikTok, 20 have been nominated for a GRAMMY.
“Ahead of the 63rd Annual GRAMMY Awards, music’s biggest night,
we’re excited to celebrate creators who have played a role in
skyrocketing songs to record-breaking success and award nominations
through dance, memes and challenges on TikTok,” said Meridith
Rojas, head of global creator marketing at Logitech. “The Song
Breaker Awards is one of the ways Logitech is spotlighting the
power of the creator community and recognizing groundbreakers who
are making an immeasurable dent on pop culture.”
Lil Nas X, a creative collaborator with Logitech, credits the
TikTok community with helping the now 14-times platinum "Old Town
Road" first reach the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “I was promoting
‘Old Town Road’ using memes and the song was already moving, but
once it got on TikTok and it was trending, that was it,” said Lil
Nas X, on how the community helped the song go viral with the “Yee
Haw” challenge, catapulting it into the music charts.
“TikTok is the best platform for music discovery, where emerging
artists can connect with new fans and breakthrough to larger
audiences,” said Isabel Quinteros Annous, music partnerships and
artist relations at TikTok. “Lil Nas X is one of the first bonafide
breakout TikTok stars, and it's been a pleasure to witness his
success as an artist, a true testament to the power of the TikTok
community's connection to music.”
Logitech is honoring 14 creators, who as a group, inspire and
influence more than 241 million people globally. The nominees
consist of “Originators,” creators who started the trends, dances
and challenges; “Amplifiers,” popular creators who are responsible
for amplifying the challenges to their audiences; and “Artist
Breakers,” emerging artists whose music broke big because of its
popularity on TikTok. During the show, winners of the Originator,
Amplifier, Artist Breaker categories will be announced, as well as
winners of the Breakthrough Award, Groundbreaker Award and the Song
Breaker of the Year.
The Song Breaker Awards is a program from Castle, Logitech’s
creators’ club, which aims to champion creators, embrace the
creator community and power change. Sienna Mae Gomez will also join
Lil Nas X as a founding Castle member. The Song Breaker Awards show
will stream on TikTok on March 13, 2021 at 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. PT
