4. End of Beginning – Djo
- Featured in 2.1M videos
While “End of Beginning” actually came out in 2022, it’s been most used and recognized this year. This could be in part to how great of a song it is, but it also might have to do with people realizing that the artist Djo is actually a secret identity for one of the world’s most loved “Stranger Things” actors, Joe Keery.

9. Blue – Billie Eilish
- Featured in 928.7K videos
We can’t talk about summer songs without talking about another album that was released this year, featuring hit after hit. Billie Eilish really outdid herself with several songs, but “Blue” was maybe the most anticipated and fans didn’t even know it. This song is a combination of two previously written songs, one that she performed years ago and never released. By the sound alone, many Billie fanatics were pleasantly surprised.

It’s hard to talk about popular songs without mentioning Taylor Swift, especially since she is still currently on her Eras Tour and has just released a double album this year. From that album, a few songs became favorites of Swifties, but “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” is by far the most popular of the bunch. Consequently, this hit is used in all sorts of manners on TikTok.

17. Too Sweet – Hozier

While the angel-like voice of Hozier might have always been a favorite of many, one song of his in specific got its hype from TikTok. “Two Sweet” was teased by him through just a small snippet, and in that alone, it was set to blow up.
