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.

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.
