Playlist tiktok 2021

If theres one thing 2021 proved, its that TikToks iron-handed grip on steering the current of pop culture is as strong as ever. Its obvious by now that the app has resoundingly changed the way musicians and record labels now market and roll out new music, but to witness its cachet play out in real life was still a trip. Consider the stratospheric rises of Olivia Rodrigo, Måneskin, or even the Australian rapper Masked Wolf would all three artists have had the same trajectory without TikToks help? I guess well never know.

Now, TikTok has unveiled its official annual internal music report for the past year, laying out just how vastly the app has influenced the industry. The newly released data takes stock of any and all sound-related metrics one could imagine, from top artists on the platform to top oldies songs that resurfaced over the last year. Most importantly, though, theyve revealed the top 20 songs that ruled the app in 2021 globally and in the U.S.

If youve been on TikTok at all this year, its a list youll likely be familiar with. Mainstays on the app, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion [for Up, and Cognac Queen, respectively] close out the top 10. Erica Banks Buss It, which soundtracked millions of twerks this year, slides in at number seven, while Justin Bieber and The Kid Larois deliriously catchy Stay lands at number five. Perhaps most surprising, though, is Masked Wolfs ubiquitous and runaway hit, Astronaut In The Ocean coming in as the apps global number one song; given that its opening lyrics Whatchu know about rolling down in the deep? have at this point become a globally recognizable meme, it tracks. See TikToks full top 20 global songs below.
