**The most reliable way to find TikTok trends is TikTok’s free Creative Center: open its Trends section and browse the top hashtags, songs, creators and videos by country, over the last 7, 30 or 120 days.** Inside the app, watch for the same sound or format repeating on your For You feed, and check the trending searches that appear when you open search.

A trend on TikTok is a sound, hashtag, format or topic that many people use at once, usually for a few days to a few weeks. This hub covers each way to spot one and links to a guide for sounds, hashtags and products. Every other TikTok guide starts from [how to search on TikTok](/blog/tiktok-search/how-to-search-on-tiktok/). Using a sound once you find it is covered in [how to download a TikTok sound](/blog/tiktok-trends/download-tiktok-sound/) and [how to add your own sound to TikTok](/blog/tiktok-trends/add-your-own-sound/).

## How Do You Find Trends in TikTok Creative Center?

**TikTok Creative Center is a free website that ranks what’s popular on TikTok, and most of its trend pages work without logging in.** Listed below are the 5 steps.

1.  **Open** [TikTok Creative Center](https://ads.tiktok.com/business/creativecenter) in a browser.
2.  **Go** to **Trends**.
3.  **Choose** what to rank: hashtags, songs, creators or videos.
4.  **Set** your country, and an industry where offered.
5.  **Pick** a time window of 7, 30 or 120 days.

The 7-day view shows what’s rising now; 30 and 120 days show what has staying power. Each ranked item has a curve showing whether it’s still climbing.

## What Kinds of Trends Can You Find on TikTok?

**TikTok trends come in 5 kinds, and each has its own best place to look.** The table maps them.

| Trend type | Where to find it | Guide |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Sounds and songs | Creative Center songs ranking, the Sounds tab in search | How to find trending sounds on TikTok |
| Hashtags | Creative Center hashtags ranking, the hashtag pages in search | How to use hashtags on TikTok |
| Video formats | Your For You feed, Creative Center top videos | This page |
| Creators | Creative Center creators ranking | This page |
| Products | TikTok Shop and product hashtags | How to find trending products on TikTok |

## How Do You Find Trending Hashtags on TikTok?

**To find trending hashtags, open the hashtags ranking in Creative Center and filter by country, industry and time window; the “new to top 100” filter shows the ones that just broke in.** In the app, search a topic and open the hashtags tab to see related tags and their view counts. How many hashtags to add, and which kinds, is covered in [how to use hashtags on TikTok](/blog/tiktok-trends/use-hashtags/).

## How Do You Spot TikTok Trends in the App?

**In the app, a trend shows itself through repetition: the same sound, caption pattern or edit appearing on your For You feed from unrelated accounts within a day or two.** Listed below are the 4 in-app signals.

-   **A sound you keep hearing**: tap it to see how many videos use it.
-   **Trending searches**: open search and read the suggestions under the bar.
-   **The same format from different creators**, such as a shared joke structure or transition.
-   **Rising hashtags** on videos that are new but already have high view counts.

Creators can also see what people are searching for in TikTok Studio’s search insights.

## How Long Do TikTok Trends Last?

**Most TikTok trends peak within a week or two, while formats and evergreen sounds can last for months.** That’s why the 7-day view matters: by the time a trend tops a 120-day chart, the early wave is usually over. Using a trend while it’s still rising, not after it peaks, is what gets the reach.

## Can Business Accounts Use Trending Sounds?

**Business accounts can only use sounds from TikTok’s Commercial Music Library, which is cleared for commercial use and leaves out many chart songs.** In Creative Center, the songs ranking has a filter for tracks approved for business use. This matters for brands: a trending song a personal account can use may not be available to them.

## How to Track TikTok Trends With Data

**Rankings tell you what’s trending; collecting the videos tells you why.** apidojo’s [TikTok Scraper](https://apify.com/apidojo/tiktok-scraper) on Apify collects every video for a hashtag, sound or keyword, with views, likes, shares, upload time and the sound used, so you can see how fast a trend is growing and which videos are driving it (Apify).

```
{
  "keywords": ["get ready with me"],
  "sortType": "DATE_POSTED",
  "location": "US",
  "maxItems": 1000
}
```

It costs $0.30 per 1,000 posts. Checking trends on a schedule instead of once is covered in [how to monitor TikTok trends with an API](/blog/tiktok-scraping/monitor-trends/).
