How the TikTok game show Track Star became a viral hit — with celebrities like Charli xcx and Camila Cabello lining up to play

Spend an afternoon at Astor Place and you might just be lucky enough to become a contestant on Track Star — the internet game show that’s so hot, everyone from Charli xcx to Kamala Harris has asked to play.

“If you can name the artist, you win 5 bucks,” host Jack Coyne says to contestants, passersby who volunteer to play and slip on a pair of Beats headphones.

After participants share their preferred music genres, the New York native shuffles through his vast catalog, playing snippets of songs he thinks the stranger could guess — and enticing them to double their cash prize with every correct answer.

“The idea of the show is like — it’s not a gotcha thing. We’re not trying to get people” to fail out, Coyne, 33, told The Post. “We’re trying to play music that people love and we’re trying to trigger a reaction in someone to tell a story about something in their life that the song sort of brings out.”

The über-popular music trivia series — which boasts more than 730,000 followers across TikTok and Instagram less than two years since its inception — has grown so successful that the biggest names in music clamored to be guests, such as Ed Sheeran, Halsey, Camila Cabello, Sam Smith, Charli xcx and Paris Hilton.

“We don’t try to get anyone on the show, it’s all inbound,” explained Coyne. “People ask.”
