Yung Lean’s 2013 hit “Ginseng Strip 2002” was TikTok’s most-used song in 2022, boosting streaming and bringing a solid payday — what’s that worth? Based off U.S. streams alone, the different rights holders have earned about $350,000 so far in 2022. Split up, that’s about $260,000 for the master recording to the label and artist, and $62,900 to the publisher and co-writers Yung Lean and Yung Gud, based on Billboard‘s estimates.
