As more and more artists release new songs and sounds on platforms like TikTok, we can expect this exciting trend to continue. As tracks blow up online, labels are put in the position of finding and signing those songs to their labels instead of the other way around, with the music industry pushing the music to listeners. Indeed, virality from platforms like TikTok has upended the music industry to an extent. Many artists with tracks that go viral on the platform will find that the song has also launched to the top of their top-played songs list on streaming services, too. TikTok virality doesn't just stay on the platform.

From there, radio programmers were ripping the song from the internet to meet listener demand to play it on their stations. Lil Nas X's 'Old Town Road,' for instance, popped off on TikTok in 2019 after gaining some traction on SoundCloud. Some of the most popular songs of the past few years even got their starts on TikTok before racing to the top of the Billboard charts. And TikTok is nothing if not a seemingly endless font of viral tracks.

If you're still dreaming of making your mark on TikTok, you need the right tunes to back your sweet dance moves.
