The TikTok Skins obsession just keeps getting bigger and better for Aussie outfit Vacations.

The track has cracked the US Viral playlist on Spotify which are put together by metrics that take into account how often songs are shared. Young is currently sitting at #38 amongst some impressive company including Glass Animals and One Direction.
