Another [pandemic] year has passed. And I just can’t imagine what life would be like when this whole health crisis is over.
I became addicted to the TikTok app last year. The proof is in the song picks below. Can you guess how many of the tracks below are famous because of the short-form video app?

- Levitating – Dua Lipa ft. DaBaby (May 2021 Top Pick)
This song was inescapable last summer. Probably the only song on TikTok that spawned multiple trends.
- Butter – BTS
McDonald’s 10-piece Chicken McNuggets with cajun and sweet chili sauces, a medium-sized Coca-Cola, and medium fries made me want to listen to this song.
- good 4 u – Olivia Rodrigo (June 2021 Top Pick)
Olivia Rodrigo acknowledged it: The pop-rock chart-topper sounds like Paramore‘s “Misery Business.”
- HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY – GIVĒON
Again: This is not a romantic song! Just because couples are dancing to this on the TikTok app doesn’t mean the meaning has changed. LOL.
- Solar Power – Lorde
Maybe because I’m into summer-sounding songs, I enjoy this comeback single from Lorde. (That outro feels like sunshine!)
- deja vu – Olivia Rodrigo
Upon first hearing Olivia’s second single, I knew she wasn’t gonna be our typical pop star. This follow-up to her successful debut (also part of the top 5!) sounds like an indie rock jam.
- Kiss Me More – Doja Cat ft. SZA
Doja’s lead single from her Grammy nominated album “Planet Her“ was one of the most infectious pop songs last year.
- Heat Waves – Glass Animals
I first heard this track back in August 2020. I’m biased and started to love this song when it went to the top of the Australian radio station triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2020 announced in January of last year.
- Leave The Door Open – Silk Sonic (April 2021 Top Pick)
The charisma of the American R&B super-duo Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak radiates no matter how many times they perform this song.
- drivers license – Olivia Rodrigo (February 2021 Top Pick)
How a debut single became an instant commercial success blows my mind. The dreamy bridge (“I still f*g love you”) is one of the greatest, most beautiful moments I’ve heard for a pop song in a while.
