TikTok has become a platform for discovering new music and making songs go viral. Many tracks have become chart-topping hits after being featured in TikTok videos, such as Lil Nas X’s ‘Old Town Road,’ Doja Cat’s ‘Say So,’ and Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Savage.’ TikTok has provided a way for emerging artists to get exposure and build a following. Many up-and-coming musicians have gained a large following on the app, which has translated to increased streams and album sales.

TikTok has also sparked a trend of remixes and covers of popular songs, often created by amateur musicians. These remixes and covers can go on to become hits in their own right and provide a creative outlet for aspiring musicians. TikTok has become a platform for collaborations between musicians and content creators. Many musicians have partnered with TikTok stars to create viral videos and promote their music.
