South African-German rapper WizTheMc has been enjoying social and streaming success with his ‘Show Me Love’ track. Now it has delivered TikTok’s distribution arm SoundOn its first platinum-certified hit, in the UK.
The track has also been used in more than 4.6m videos on TikTok that have collectively garnered over 15bn views. However, in its announcement of the platinum news, TikTok noted that the song also has more than 550m streams on Spotify. In fact, the up-to-date figures there are 421.2m streams for the original version of the track, and 150.7m streams of a remix featuring Tyla.
The UK platinum certification comes six months after the song’s release, although WizTheMc has actually been teasing it since late summer in 2024 – so you could say it had a five-month pre-release teasing window.
As a guide to the graft going on here, Music Ally’s marketing team tracked this activity and found WizTheMc himself published more than 150 posts using the track. TikTok is putting some promotion behind all this, featuring the artist in its latest ‘Behind The Breakthrough’ video.
