How to Schedule Content with Trending TikTok Songs

Efficiency is the priority for any social media strategy, and the recent TikTok API update makes it easier than ever to manage your production workflow.

Now, you can browse and add trending TikTok songs directly within the Metricool planner. This integration lets you select from the top 100 trending tracks, filtered by genre and region, ensuring your content is fully optimized before it goes live. By removing the need for last-minute edits in the TikTok app, you can maintain a consistent posting schedule while staying relevant with the latest sounds that your audience is already enjoying.

How to Find Trending TikTok Songs

There are many ways to find trending TikTok songs and sounds, but the main methods I use are:

• TikTok Creative Center: You can find trending songs, hashtags, creators, and videos by visiting the app’s Creative Center.
• Search other apps: Other video platforms like Instagram (Reels) or YouTube (Shorts) often share trends with TikTok, so check them if you’re looking for trending songs and sounds. 
• Check music apps: Music apps like Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube all regularly feature “TikTok Trends” playlists, which include the most popular TikTok songs from the past week, month, season, or even year.
