Background

The video-sharing platform TikTok gained global popularity in the year 2019, and surpassed 2 billion mobile downloads worldwide in October 2020. [5] [6] TikTok has allowed many music artists to gain a wider audience, and has spawned several viral hit songs. [7] [8] [9] Since the COVID-19 pandemic, the platform has also launched many songs that failed to garner initial commercial success into sleeper hits. [10] [11] One of the first examples of this phenomenon is the song "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X, which started as a meme on TikTok, and became one of the biggest songs of 2019 and the longest-running number-one song in the history of the US Billboard Hot 100. [12] [7] [13] A more recent example being 2023's "Paint the Town Red" by Doja Cat, which also topped the US Billboard Hot 100 after going viral on TikTok and became a worldwide hit. [14] A study by MRC Data found in July 2021 that 67% of TikTok users are estimated to be more likely to look up songs on digital streaming platforms after hearing them on TikTok. [15] While launching the chart, Billboard described TikTok as "the world’s most powerful platform for music discovery and promotion". [1]

In the entertainment industry, sleeper hit refers to a film, television series, music release, video game, or other entertainment product that was unpromising on release but became a surprise success. A sleeper hit may have little promotion or lack a successful launch but gradually develops a fandom following media attention, which in turn increases its public exposure and public interest in the product. As Variety puts it, "A 'sleeper hit' can be defined as the kind of show that catches us by surprise—programs whose popularity grows over time and can ultimately outshine the preordained hits." A sleeper hit often lacks star performers or high production values, but prevails, at times against its own makers' expectations, on the strength of such qualities as narrative, approach, or novelty, as well as market accidents. Sleeper hit films benefit theater owners because the owners keep a larger percentage of money from ticket sales.
