TikTok songs: the 20 most popular

Although there are many types of videos that are successful on TikTok, musicals tend to draw more attention. Especially because they manage to be very diverse, with the right to choreography, dubbing or challenges while the song is playing. But have you ever stopped to think which of TikTok's songs are the most popular and used on the platform?

To resolve this curiosity, we have listed the most successful TikTok songs in the past few months. Who knows, you might not even know the name of a song that you heard directly and didn't know, right ?! Check the list below for more details!

1. Pretty Girl

Our first song on the list is Pretty Girl by singer Maggie Lindemann. It was released in 2017, but ended up being more successful with a remix by Paul Gannon that broke out in TikTok videos.

In general, it is widely used in challenges, but in very common music videos as well. You can hear it in full by accessing the link.

2. Coincidance

When James Manzello's Coincidance started playing, two people usually showed their dance moves on TikTok. All while repeating the words of the song saying "Wow, you really know how to dance".

Both the music and the videos are very simple. But even so, it ended up being one of the most popular songs on TikTok.

3 Drank & Drugs

You may not know Drank & Drugs as well, but it is one of TikTok's songs that appears most often in dance videos. It was created by two Dutch rappers: Lil Kleine and Ronnie Flex.

The track got a lot of attention from the start in their home country, but it won the world thanks to the app.

4. Supalonely

Supalonely is another TikTok song that has won thousands of videos on the platform. Its purpose is quite simple, since most of the time we see people simply making gestures according to the lyrics of the song.

Some have gotten over 20 million views on their videos just by using the song. As you can see in the example above.

5. Nonstop

This famous song by singer Drake also has a very simple goal in the TikTok videos. At the sound of it, two people appear next to each other in front of a mirror.

While one person is recording the video, the other is doing a dance the way they want. In the middle, people change places (and even clothes) and the person who recorded the video now needs to do the same dance as before.

6. Lalala

The videos that feature the song Lalala by Y2K & Bbno $ can be a bit difficult to replicate. In them, you need to make a series of emojis with your hand at the same pace as the music.

It may not seem too complicated, but you can get confused when changing emojis quickly.

7. Say So

Say So by rapper Doja Cat is not only one of the most popular songs on TikTok, but is also quite successful outside the app. Over there, people usually do a very characteristic choreography to the sound of the song.

The one who invented the dance steps was TikToker Haley Sharp. She became so well known for her music that she even participated in the recording of her official music video.

8. The Box

Roddy Ricch's song The Box is another big hit of 2020, inside and outside TikTok. In general, what people do is try to replicate much of the sound effects from the beginning of the song with household items.

All in a humorous and fun way of course. This is one that is worth checking out even if you're not a fan of the song.

9. Lottery (Renegade)

The challenging choreography to the sound of Lottery (Renegade) was created by TikToker Jalaiah Harmon a few months ago. Since then, several actors and songs have been trying to make it in the app.

It is definitely a case in which the dance ends up being more interesting than the song. It is also a good way to attract more people and get new followers.

10. Cannibal

Kesha's song Cannibal may have been released in 2010, but it continues to be successful. This is especially true in TikTok, where several older songs are retrieved all the time.

Overall, the choreography created by TikToker Briana Hantsch follows the lyrics very faithfully. The cool thing is that even Kesha has done the dance in TikTok recently.

11. Savage

This success by rapper Megan Thee Stallion has been featured in several TikTok videos. Generally, they all have the choreography from the video above.

Still, it is possible to find some variations here and there.

12. Dior

Another of the TikTok songs we see the most around is Dior by Pop Smoke. It appears in several different scenarios and situations, such as for dances, voiceovers and other simpler activities.

The only thing in common that happens is when TikTokers imitate the sound of a cat in the middle of the song.

13. Vibe

Even though it is widely used in funny or dance videos, the song Vibe by Cookiee Kawaii appears in other contexts as well. Lately, many TikTokers have used the song when it comes to showing how they do their makeup, for example.

14. JOEMAMA

Joewaud's song JOEMAMA is another song that appears in many different contexts. In general, you find people dancing in pairs to the sound of it.

It's just that the song got so popular on TikTok that it's kind of used for a little bit of everything.

15. Psycho!

As you can see from the example above, this is one of the TikTok songs whose choreography follows the lyrics for their movements. Although not very innovative, they are very fun videos to watch.

This is especially true for the variations you may find from other TikTok users.

16. Don’t Start Now

Don’t Start Me Now by Dua Lipe is another song that you hear a lot if you use the app. A lot of people like to do their own choreography with the song.

For that reason, you find a lot of variety from one video to another.

17. No Idea

Like some of the other TikTok songs, Don Toliver's No Idea song is used more in dance videos. Overall, the choreographies focus a lot on replicating the sounds and effects of the song.

You can check an example in the video above!

18. Dance Monkey

In the video above, we have a very good example from Will Smith himself of how the song Dance Monkey is used. He makes a very simple step, as if he is about to hit his head against the wall.

It intersperses this with animations by artists Auden Lincoln-Vogel and Nata Metlukh to give a cooler contrast to the rhythm of the song.

19. Hit Tha Roof

Despite having some dance variations, the song Hit Tha Roof ends up having more voiceovers. We only warn you that the most used version in TikTok ends up having a more popped sound, so be careful if you have headphones.

20. U Can’t Touch This

To finish our list with a flourish, we have the classic U Can’t Touch This by Mc Hammer. The song that was so successful in the 1990s returned to conquer fans on TikTok.

As you can see in the video above, the dance performed is very simple. Still, it can be quite fun for old and new fans.
