If you want to know what’s running the music industry in 2025, don’t look at the Billboard charts; look at TikTok. The app isn’t just a place for memes and dance trends anymore; it’s where songs are broken, resurrected, and launched into global superstardom. One viral sound can turn a bedroom artist into a household name overnight, or bring a forgotten deep cut from the 1960s back into heavy rotation.

The proof? This year’s most-streamed songs on TikTok are all over the map. You’ve got a 62-year-old track suddenly back at #1, indie artists racking up billions of streams without a label, and big names like Machine Gun Kelly finding fresh life with viral dance crazes. These aren’t just “TikTok hits," they’re songs that jumped from phone screens to playlists, charts, and stadium speakers.

For artists, TikTok has become the ultimate equalizer. It doesn’t matter if you’re signed to a major label or uploading music from your bedroom studio. If your track connects with a trend, a mood, or even a single meme, the algorithm will do the rest. For fans, it means the music they fall in love with isn’t dictated by radio gatekeepers, it’s chosen by the community, amplified by creativity, and carried by pure momentum.

So which songs actually took over TikTok in 2025? Here are the 10 most-streamed tracks of the year so far, from unexpected revivals to breakout anthems, complete with the numbers and stories behind their rise.


1. Pretty Little Baby – Connie Francis (1962)

Yeah, a song old enough to ride a mobility scooter is TikTok’s most surprising obsession. Her 1962 deep cut went nuclear this year, with over 45.5 billion views across more than 22.5 million TikToks. It shot straight to No. 1 on TikTok’s Viral charts. 

2. I Have One Daughter – Luke Holloway

A Tinder snippet turned into the summer earworm. Holloway’s comedic line became TikTok’s accidental anthem after going viral, amassing nearly 3 million likes. 

3. There She Goes – CYRIL (remix with The La’s / Moonlight)

Australia’s CYRIL made history as the first Aussie artist to top TikTok’s Global Sound chart. His remix inspired 10,000 daily uploads, with support from names like Meghan Trainor and P!NK. 

4. Love Me Not – Ravyn Lenae


This late‑2024 single didn’t just trend, it broke out. After going viral, it peaked at #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and soundtracked 320,000 TikTok clips by April 2025.

5. Blue – yung kai

A dreamy indie-pop track that exploded. By June 2025, “Blue” had more than 1 billion streams on platforms like Spotify, driven largely by TikTok montages. 

6. Undressed – Sombr

Sombr’s emotionally raw track went viral on TikTok and racked up 400 million+ Spotify streams by August 2025. It charted globally, including a #1 in Ireland.

7. Back to Friends – Sombr

Yeah, he had two TikTok hits. “Back to Friends” hit 600 million+ Spotify streams, smashed the Global and US Spotify charts, and crashed the Billboard Hot 100. 

8. Show Me Love – WizTheMc & Bees & Honey

This collab blew up on TikTok with more than 2.7 billion views and plenty of remixes. It landed in the Global 200 and conquered charts across Europe. 

9. Bunna Summa – BunnaB

A late‑spring sleeper that TikTok turned into a full-blown party anthem. Snippets racked up 584,000 views plus 51,000 video creations before it ever got pushed by radio. 

10. Cliché – Machine Gun Kelly

MGK's nostalgia-laced track sparked a literal dance craze on TikTok and got featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday. It’s a legitimate contender for 2025’s song of the summer. 

The Bottom Line

TikTok isn’t just influencing the music industry; it is the music industry in 2025. From Connie Francis’ forgotten 1962 gem to brand-new tracks by artists like Sombr and BunnaB, the app proves that a song doesn’t need a label push or radio spin to blow up. All it takes is one viral moment, one trend, or one perfectly timed meme.

For independent artists, this is both a wake-up call and an opportunity: the gatekeepers don’t get the final say anymore. For fans, it’s proof that your playlists are now being shaped by real people, not boardroom algorithms. And for the rest of us? It’s a reminder that the next big hit could come from literally anywhere, a vintage record store bin, a bedroom setup, or even a throwaway Tinder joke.

One thing’s for sure: if you want to know where the future of music is headed, don’t wait for the charts. Just open TikTok.
