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.
