A song by a former supermarket worker has been named as the second most popular in the world on TikTok in 2023.
Singer Mae Stephens has also been named as one of the platform’s “breakthrough artists of the year” in its annual report, known as Year on TikTok.
She created her account in 2020 and now has 380,100 followers and 8.8m likes on the video sharing app.
Stephens, 20, from Kettering in Northamptonshire, said: “I went from working in an Asda to living my dream.”
She said she had been writing songs since the age of 12, but had been working shifts in her local supermarket.
She left the job to concentrate on music full-time after her song If We Ever Broke Up was posted on TikTok on New Year’s Day and went viral.
It entered the Official UK Singles Chart at number 45 and climbed up to 13 seven weeks later.
