The trends of 2020

2020 is the year TikTok music went fully mainstream, with lockdown scrolling doing a lot of the work.

TikTok's own top ten that year was almost all hip-hop and pop built for a dance challenge.

The app also revived older songs, and Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" is the clearest example after one skateboarding video.

Pitchfork's year-in-review called out the sped-up remix wave, which is how SAINt JHN's "Roses" charted again.

The UK side of the app had its own hits, including S1mba's "Rover" and Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now."

This ranking uses TikTok's published 2020 top ten first, then the wider roundups of the year's biggest sounds.

TikTok songs 2020: questions

What was the most popular song on TikTok in 2020?

It was "Savage Love (Laxed - Siren Beat)" by Jawsh 685 and Jason Derulo, which topped TikTok's own top ten for the year.

The track started as a New Zealand teenager's instrumental that soundtracked a culture-showcase trend before Jason Derulo added vocals.

Which TikTok song had the biggest dance challenge in 2020?

Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage" is the strongest candidate, with a dance from creator @keke.janajah that TikTok's biggest stars copied.

Insider reported the song had been used in at least 29 million TikTok videos, and the Beyoncé remix pushed it even further.

What old songs came back because of TikTok in 2020?

Fleetwood Mac's 1977 hit "Dreams" returned to the Billboard Hot 100 after Nathan Apodaca's longboard and cranberry juice video.

Other revivals that year included Run-DMC's "It's Tricky," La Roux's "Bulletproof" and Aly and AJ's "Potential Breakup Song," which was used more than 2 million times.

What was the biggest TikTok dance of 2020?

The Renegade is the obvious answer, and it runs on K Camp's 2019 song "Lottery."
