72 Best TikTok Songs of All Time – Most Popular Songs on TikTok

Hi, if you’re like us and you enjoy scrolling through TikTok until your eyes bleed, then chances are you’re already up on all the viral challenges, dances, and, most importantly, recipes. However! You simply cannot consider yourself a true TikTok devotee until you know the app’s most viral hits. The best TikTok songs of all time range from rediscovered throwbacks to hot new hits, and while not all of them have inspired specific trends, they’re all 100 percent bound to get stuck in your head for the rest of the day. Sry ’bout it!

There’s no denying that TikTok has proven to be verrrrry lucrative for some of its creators (we don’t have to name them—you know them), and in addition to making careers, TikTok has made some viral hits out of songs that may have otherwise slid under the radar. Look, we’re 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 whether you’re a TikTok expert or you only scroll on le Tok every once in a while (what admirable self-control you have!!), here are all the most popular TikTok songs that you should know.

1. “BIZCOCHITO,” by ROSALÍA

Rosalía basically saw all of us obsessing over her gum chewing and decided to take it one step further while also reminding us of this bop that we can’t stop listening to.
