TikTok is more than a social network, because this platform not only serves users to share different types of content that range from news, entertainment, gossip, dances, among others. Otherwise, it is also a space that record companies use to promote their artists with “challenges” or “trends”.
TikTok “trends” are usually accompanied by choreography or other types of challenges, which are usually accompanied by a song, sometimes they are popular songs on the radio, on YouTube or on streaming services like Spotify.
There are also old songs that become famous after appearing in films or series, as was the case with Bloody Mary by Lady Gaga, which appears in the series Merlina and went viral in 2022 even though it dates from 2011, or the 80s theme, Running Up That Hill, a song that appeared in Stranger Things.
There are even songs that are 100% hits thanks to TikTok, these are songs that become known after being used in a dance or a challenge, as is the case with Bad Decisions by Kenya Os.
Musical trends are constantly changing, but in the last months of the year, several themes will invade social networks thanks to the fact that they have become a trend on TiKTok.
