If you want to go viral on TikTok, you need to make sure you’re making vids using only the most popular songs on the app. It’s just science. I know this because I have a master’s degree in digital marketing spent an unhealthy amount of time during the pandemic watch TikToks until my eyes bleed!!!
A lot of hit songs actually become famous thanks to TikTok. Look, I’m not saying that Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” wouldn’t have become the Song of Quarantine on its own—pretty sure the earworm was always destined for greatness—but it’s undeniable that the super popular choreography (created by 19-year-old dancer Keara Wilson) gave the bop staying power. So if you’re ready to stop being the creeper who only watches (jk, love you), take a listen to the most popular TikTok songs and get recording.

You’ve definitely heard “Laxed (SIREN BEAT)” before. Or if you haven’t, you must be superrr new to the app—welcome! A whopping 55.3 million videos have been made to this song, probs because the choreography is nice and slow, even your social media-illiterate dad could learn the moves.

Charli D’Amelio freaking loves this song, which, TBH, is all the information you really need to know, but I’ll share one more fact just to be nice: We have Imanbek, a 19-year-old from Kazakhstan who could only brag about a few amateur remixes prior to this hit, to thank for the remix.

Yes, yes, I knowwww you know this one, but “Savage” is still my favorite viral dance. It’s the perfect hype song. Megan Thee Stallion can do no wrong. Don’t fight me on this one!

This song, by New Zealand singer Benee and American singer Gus Dapperton, really took off in March 2020, right as America was starting to shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. I’m no expert, but perhaps the “I’ve been lonely” vibes were…particularly…resonant?

This song hasn’t taken off in quite the same way as some of the other tunes on this list (only about 331K videos so far) but it’s Kendrick Lamar and I won’t be questioned.
