Group 7 has become the new \u201cit girl\u201d<\/a> on TikTok.<\/p>\n The phenomenon began in mid-October, when singer Sophia James <\/strong>shared a series of videos via TikTok<\/a>. In the first clip, James, 26, said she recently received a parking ticket while dancing and singing to her track \u201cSo Unfair.\u201d<\/p>\n James began posting more videos (initially still about her parking ticket) in the hopes of users hearing her music. By the fourth video, James labeled the clips \u2014 and the fans \u2014 into groups and shifted the content to be more about the idea of being in a certain group.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you\u2019re seeing this you are in group 4,\u201d text read over video No. 4. \u201cI am posting a bunch of videos and seeing which ones reach the most viewers. This is the fourth post of the batch so you are group 4.\u201d<\/p>\n James shared three more videos that night, until her seventh and final one went viral.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you are watching this video, you are in group 7,\u201d James said in the clip. \u201cI have posted seven videos tonight and this is the seventh one. Just a little science experiment to see what kind of video gets the most reach.\u201d<\/p>\n She added, \u201cI don\u2019t know what that says about you, but you\u2019re in group 7!\u201d<\/p>\n Scroll down to learn more about the viral TikTok trend:<\/p>\n With more than 37.1 million views<\/a> to date, users quickly weighed in on being in the group.<\/p>\n \u201cI (hereby) declare group 7 is the most elite group,\u201d one wrote in the comments section, while another added, \u201cGroup 7 is the hot girl group I don\u2019t make the rules.\u201d<\/p>\n A third wrote, \u201cI have immediate beef with groups 1-6.\u201d<\/p>\n Several celebrities have since revealed that they are in Group 7 \u2014 including Olympian Stephen Nedoroscik<\/strong>. \u201cA light workout for someone in group 7,\u201d Nedoroscik wrote via TikTok, alongside a video of him doing the pommel horse.<\/p>\n After going viral, James shared in an interview with The New York Times that she noticed she had to \u201cbully\u201d the TikTok algorithm<\/a> to see success.<\/p>\n \u201cYou just have to post no matter what it is \u2014 it\u2019s really quantity over quality,\u201d she explained. \u201cAnd so in my pursuit to get my music heard, I\u2019ve really been trying all of these different strategies.\u201d<\/p>\n James also shared that she almost didn\u2019t post the group 7 video, but had a change of heart.<\/p>\n \u201cI woke up the next morning and you know, like Alakazam, the group 7 video had hit the algorithm, and people just made it explode, and it became this hilarious, unexpected internet moment,\u201d James said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nHow Did Users React to Being in Group 7?<\/h2>\n
