TikTok Has Announced Its Global Top Songs List For 2025

TikTok has unveiled its Global Year in Music 2025 rankings, showcasing the 20 songs that gained significant popularity on the platform through various challenges, emotional connections, and repeated listens.

This list underscores TikTok’s increasing impact on global music culture, with notable representation from Afrobeats, Dancehall, and Caribbean-influenced tracks.

A key observation from this year’s rankings is the continued success of cross-cultural collaborations on the platform. Songs that combine African and Caribbean elements achieved notable rankings, reflecting how users from different regions contribute to the creation of global hits through trends, dance clips, and storytelling.

Interestingly, the top song on the global chart was not a recent release. Connie Francis’ 1962 hit Pretty Little Baby claimed the number one spot, demonstrating TikTok’s capability to bring older songs to the forefront and introduce them to younger audiences, turning them into contemporary viral hits.

Among newer tracks, the Shake It To The Max (FLY) Remix by Moliy, Silent Addy, Skillibeng, and Shenseea emerged as one of the year’s most significant global records. This song, which blends Ghanaian and Jamaican influences, gained notable attention through dance-focused content and energetic challenges, placing it just outside the top ten. Chella’s My Darling also made the list, attracting global recognition for its emotional resonance and strong alignment with TikTok’s inspirational and romantic themes.

In summary, the 2025 list highlights TikTok’s role as a significant platform for music discovery, capable of promoting emerging artists, revitalizing classic tracks, and bringing diverse sounds into the global spotlight.
