TikTok Music Trends: Top Performing Posts This Week
We analyzed 161 real public music posts on TikTok this week to find the content driving the most engagement. The sampled posts reached an average of 2,388,512 views with a median engagement rate of 12.70%. Because this is our first time publishing this list, these numbers will serve as our baseline for future updates.
ContentScout's own analysis: we sample real public posts matching music search terms on TikTok and score them by how much engagement they're getting relative to how recently they were posted. It is not TikTok's official trending list.
