Mysterious Internet-born, Twitter-trending group 4 Minutes Later was top trending on Twitter in not one, not two, but three major countries: The USA, UK, and Mexico. It all started in early 2018 when 4ML tweeted a mysterious “music coming soon”. 4ML then released “This is London” without any visuals to help promote it. It wasn’t before long that people were clamoring to find out who this account releasing this music was.
