Without a doubt, 2019 was the year for TikTok. As it comes to a close and we welcome 2020 with semi-open arms, why don’t we take a peek at the top 10 songs that are playing on your TikTok feed?
- Loui – “Shake Dat (feat Lil Jay)”
-
This remix has taken the TikTok by storm with its provocative lyrics and the hip-swaying dance that the app’s users have created.
- Lonr. – “A.M.”
-
I’ve found myself listening to this song outside of the app from time and time and the lyrics, “hop outta bed, rock out again,” are incredibly hype-inducing.
- K CAMP – “Lottery”
-
While the song, itself, isn’t too memorable, when TikTok users, @ty.cxc and @michelle.dnce, created a smooth, fast-paced dance to go with it, the song made a lasting impression on the app.
- Don Toliver – “No Idea”
-
I actually had to search the lyrics up for this one because its most famous lyrics, “Feeling like I did too much / I’m feeling like I did too much / Well let’s get naughtier, I mean naughtier,” are entirely mumbled. It slaps, nonetheless.
- KYLE – “iSpy feat. Lil Yachty”
-
This song may have come out in 2017, but it’s just recently begun to make its rounds on TikTok as a more comedic sound.
- Jason Derulo – “Whatcha Say”
-
iSpy showing up on the trending page isn’t too much of a shock as a lot of new sounds are actually from older songs. “Whatcha Say” by Jason Derulo is definitely one of them as it was released back in the late 2000s.
- Chief Keef – “That’s It”
-
Another comedic sound going viral is the stutter in “That’s It” as people use it primarily to make relatable (and often self-deprecating) content.
- Lost Kings – “Phone Down (ft. Emily Warren)”
-
This is a seemingly new addition to the page. Similar to “Shake Dat,” the song inspires more provocative and lustful videos.
- Vinny West – “No Face No Case”
-
Some people use this song to make dance-related TikToks but honestly, it’s just a good transition sound for when you’re feeling especially confident.
- Waitress Original Broadway Cast Ensemble – “Never Ever Getting Rid of Me”
-
A lot of the videos associated with this sound are created in the form of a skit. I would recommend listening to this and the rest of the soundtrack from the musical Waitress.
TikTok receives a lot of hate for its cringey videos (and trust me, there are a lot) but sometimes, it really can introduce us to some great songs (or just fun, short clips that entertain us when we’re bored out of our minds). I’d suggest listening to a few of these songs on your own but honestly, get the app and hear them there! You’ll be surprised by how amusing they can be!
