Ah, we love a good top 10, don't we? TikTok has revealed its most-played songs of the year.
Nicky Youre’s ‘Sunroof’, Louis Theroux‘s ‘Jiggle Jiggle’, and Kate Bush‘s ‘Running Up That Hill’ all made the Top 10 list.
In the top spot, was ‘Sunroof’ by singer Nicky Youre and producer Dazy. As well as TikTok streaming success the track had some pretty impressive results in both the UK and Irish Official Singles Chart.
Following in second place was Yung Lean‘s ‘Ginseng Strip 2002’, while in third it was Luclover’s ‘L$d’.
Kate Bush’s 1885 classic ‘Running Up That Hill (A Deal with God)’ enjoyed a huge resurgence in 2022 and heavy use on the platform. The throwback earned itself a sixth place on the list.
Elsewhere on the list was Louis Theroux's viral rap track 'Jiggle Jiggle'.
The TV presenter became an unlikely rap sensation after a verse he'd written on his Weird Weekends series in 2000 was remixed into a club anthem. It ended the year as the app's eighth most-played song.
