How To Find What’s Trending on TikTok
Search Bar
Did you know you can find trending sounds, videos, hashtags, sponsored content and more right in the Search bar on TikTok? To search users, videos, sounds, LIVEs and hashtags, try this:
- Tap the search icon in the top right of your screen.
- Enter what you’re looking for in the search bar and tap Search. Be as specific as possible. For example, you can type the name of the content or the username of a creator.
- The most relevant results will show in the Top tab.
- Explore the other search tabs—Users, Videos, Sounds, LIVE, and Hashtags—for related content.
Note: The hashtag page displays the videos that started the trend first, and then other popular videos relevant to the trending hashtag.

In the TikTok Creative Center, you can find trending hashtags and filter by date rage and the industry you’re in. In here, you can also see trending songs, creators, videos and more. You can even filter by performance metrics like engagement, popularity, region and followers, and if you toggle to the TikTok videos tab, you can filter even further by what’s hot, the amount of likes, comments and shares.
Spotify Playlists
On Spotify, you can actually type in “TikTok” into the search bar to find tons of user curated playlists full of trending sounds. TikTok even has their own official playlist with the latest hits, sorted by region.
