TikTok, an app known for catapulting obscure artists onto the Billboard charts, had a turbulent start in 2024. At the end of January, Universal Music Group (UMG) pulled its catalog — including massive artists like Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and Drake — from the platform after negotiations dissolved between the music giant and TikTok. In February, UMG removed even more music from the platform, this time coming for all songs controlled by Universal Music Publishing Group (UMPG), which included any song a UMG artist wrote or co-wrote. TikTok estimated that UMG owned 20 to 30 percent...more of the music on the platform.

Taylor Swift's brand is mightier than her pen
In April, ahead of the release of Swift's newest album, The Tortured Poets Department, the singer's music returned to TikTok. By the beginning of May, TikTok and UMG reached a deal to usher its catalog back onto the app. Before "Apple" took over during brat summer, the was a nearly four-month dry spell where Djo's "End of Beginning" soared in popularity, soundtracking nearly every video on our FYPs. But over the course of the year, TikTok reclaimed its title as a hub for music discovery. Here are some of the best and most viral songs on the platform in 2024. "Apple" by Charli XCX
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, and "Apple" by Charli XCX was never far from our FYP. Brat wasn't just an album but a cultural moment, and the iconic "Apple" dance created by Kelley Heyer bolstered its success. The song soundtracks over 1.7 million videos, with participants dancing to it everywhere. The dance was so popular that on Charli XCX and Troye Sivan's Sweat Tour, they crowded an "Apple girl" at each show who performed the choreography on the big screen. "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" by Billie Eilish
Eilish's music returned to TikTok just in time to bolster the success of her latest album, HIT ME HARD AND SOFT. While "LUNCH" is the album's single, "BIRDS OF A FEATHER" is the runaway hit on social media. Eilish's plea to stick together became the go-to song to soundtrack TikTok videos about friendship and romance, boasting over 1.3 million videos."Breathe" by Olly Alexander
An inexplicable trend that combined a clip from Gilmore Girls with Olly Alexander's 2014 cover of the Years & Years' "Breathe" catapulted the song back into relevancy. The "I love your daughter trend" saw men on TikTok appeal to a woman's father with their dance moves. In the soundbite, Gilmore Girls' Kirk (Sean Gunn) says, "I love your daughter," and Kirk's love interest's father replies, "What do you have to offer her?" And he says, "Nothing, only this…" At this point, the men employ their goofiest dance moves to Olly Alexander's "Breathe." Over 247,000 videos used the remix of the Gilmore Girls scene and "Breathe.""Diet Pepsi" by Addison Rae
With "Diet Pepsi," Addison Rae officially transitioned from TikTok star to pop girlie. The irresistible earworm proved her spot in the brat extended universe was well-deserved. There, of course, was a "Diet Pepsi" dance choreographed by @fr00dle. "End of Beginning" by Djo
The year's runaway hit came out in 2022, but the song jumped in popularity on TikTok from a mere 18,000 videos in February to 2.2 million in March. The cinematic dream-pop song lends itself to yearn-posting for a city you've since moved away from, fan edits of The Bear, and it has the added bonus of being written by someone the platform already loves, Joe Keery — the actor ...
