It’s wild that literally at the beginning of December I was just some guy in his apartment who makes little songs.” Now he can’t open his inbox without facing proof of his newfound influencer status. “It’s been insane and amazing,” he says of the last few weeks. For the series’ latest installment - this one based on a poll about salad dressing - Lubalin took “Internet Drama” to “The Tonight Show” for a three-way collaboration with Jimmy Fallon and actress Alison Brie. Once that spark was lit, the fire soon spread to other platforms like Twitter and Instagram, where Lubalin’s videos earned retweets and shout-outs from the likes of Patton Oswalt and Flight of the Conchords’ Jemaine Clement. On Weezer’s new ‘OK Human,’ frontman Rivers Cuomo, aided by a 38-piece orchestra, set aside irony and artifice to craft a more inward-looking album. It’s not ‘Pinkerton.’ But Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo gets pretty emo on ‘OK Human’ (Caroline’s pal Doris? Not in the mood to hear her friend slandered.)īoth videos make brilliant use of typos in the original text Lubalin gets a weird emotional charge from vocalizing Doris’ insistence that Caroline is a “Chrietsn lady.” And his acting and camerawork, shaped by decades of reality TV’s visual hyperbole, are basically perfect - showy enough to convey the promised drama, straightforward enough to play on a small iPhone screen. Lubalin’s second video, about that broccoli casserole, expertly adapts the Weeknd’s throbbing pop-soul sound to bring to life a string of messages about whether a woman named Caroline stole a recipe from a woman named Helen and tried to pass it off as her own. “Good evening, is this available?” he moans, giving an operatic intensity to the most banal of inquiries. The music is a hauntingly gorgeous piano ballad, the singing as breathy as though he were mourning a doomed romance. In the first installment of his viral “Internet Drama” series, which he posted on TikTok in late December, Lubalin, 30, voices both sides of a contentious Facebook exchange regarding a prospective home rental. In 2020, Bella Poarch’s “M to the B” lip sync was the most viral video on TikTok.Turning random internet drama into songs, part 1 /jO0apLKEiq- Lubalin December 30, 2020 An adorable video of a chipmunk stuffing its face with nuts from was the second most popular, while oddly satisfying video of restocking various household products took third place.
This time around, video of himself dancing - which was shot with a drone - was the most viral video on the platform with 43.9 million views. Last week, TikTok also debuted its yearly roundup of the most popular videos on the platform. Meanwhile, “Astronaut in the Ocean” by Masked Wolf, “Beggin’” by Maneskin, and “Adderall (Corvette Corvette)” by Popp Hunna took the top three spots as the most popular songs. Rapper Popp Hunna was the third most popular artist this year, a spot previously held by Pop Smoke. The most popular artists on the platform come as no surprise - Megan Thee Stallion and Doja Cat landed in the number one and two spots, respectively, echoing the leaderboard from last year. TikTok also takes credit for helping a number of artists skyrocket themselves to stardom, like ex-Verizon employee Tai Verdes, who made it to the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time with his trending TikTok song “A-O-K.” Another emerging artist on TikTok, PinkPantheress, racked up “hundreds of millions of combined streams” on Spotify. Over 175 trending TikTok songs made it to the Billboard Hot 100 this year, up from 90 in 2020. TikTok’s yearly recap also includes some numbers on how these songs performed when not attached to a TikTok video. Over 175 trending TikTok songs made it to the Billboard Hot 100 this year
