TikTok is packed full of trends – from dance challenges and viral videos, to trending audio clips, tunes, and popular songs.
Regular TikTok users will have noticed a rise in the popularity of classic and older songs, that are used for a dance or video template, and which subsequently become mainstream again – reigniting old enthusiasm for songs which had been previously forgotten.
With that in mind, how do you identify and find out more about which songs are trending on a specific day or at a specific time?
Finding Which Songs Are Trending Right Now
There is little point in telling you which songs are trending on TikTok at the time of writing, because by the time you read this the trending songs selection will have changed tens if not hundreds of times.
However, you can find out which songs are trending right now by heading into TikTok and tapping on the search bar at the top of the home screen. In the search bar, type ‘Trending Songs’ and then filter your search results by navigating to the ‘Sounds’ heading.
This will open a page of songs and sounds which are currently trending, with a direct option to film a video using that sound as a backing track.
Why Use Trending Songs and Sounds?
The number one reason why creators choose to use trending songs and sounds is the potential to go viral.
TikTok videos that use trending songs tend to perform better, appearing in more ‘For You’ page feeds and igniting more engagement.
So, the next time you want your video to perform well and help boost your profile, consider using a trending song or audio clip – using the above steps to identify and select the perfect song for your video!
