It’s been a huge month for TikTok in Australia – at the start of December, it was revealed that Ocean Alley’s 2018 hit Confidence made it back into the Top 20 of the ARIA Singles Chart, all thanks to its boom in usage on TikTok. Just a few days later, TikTok announced a partnership with Ticketmaster to allow Aussie artists to sell tickets directly on the app.
Just last week, too, Peach PRC snagged the Music Act Of The Year gong at the 2023 TikTok Australia Awards.
