Fast-rising Melbourne rapper Lithe is set to take the world by storm. His song Fall Back is currently sitting at #1 globally on Reels (which you see on social media every day), gathering a whopping million streams a day.

At the time of writing, the PR, digital marketing and customer-focused distribution service GYROstream notes that Lithe is currently the “biggest artist in the world you haven’t heard of.”

In addition to Fall Back topping the Reels chart, the song has received over 520,000 TikTok uses and features on 49 viral Spotify charts, including #14 on the Global Viral Spotify 50, #22 on the Australian Viral Spotify 50, and #19 on the UK Viral Spotify 50.

Fall Back is gaining over 800,000 streams on Spotify alone and has amassed 360,000 Shazams, elevating the song to #12 on the Global Viral Shazam Chart. The song is set to continue climbing up multiple charts—perfect timing for the star’s upcoming East Coast Australian tour.

The tour marks Lithe’s first run of headline shows since his first-ever solo performances last July, all of which sold out long in advance. It also comes amid some huge performances with global stars.

In July, Lithe opened for 070 Shake in Melbourne and Sydney. In October, he performed in arenas alongside Lil Tjay.
