How to Find Trending Sounds on TikTok

To find trending sounds on TikTok, open TikTok Creative Center in a browser, go to Trends, choose Songs, and set your country and a 7, 30 or 120-day window. In the app, tap the plus button, then Add sound, and browse the trending playlists, or tap the sound on any video you keep seeing to check how many videos use it.

Creative Center ranks official songs; many trends run on user-made “original sounds” instead, which you spot in the app. This guide covers both, how to tell if a sound is still rising, and which sounds business accounts can use. All trend types are covered in how to find trends on TikTok.

How Do You Find Trending Sounds in Creative Center?

Creative Center’s Songs ranking lists the most-used songs by country and time window, with a curve for each, and it’s free to browse. Listed below are the 5 steps.

1. Open TikTok Creative Center.
2. Go to Trends, then Songs.
3. Set your country.
4. Choose 7, 30 or 120 days.
5. Switch between the popular list and the breakout list, which ranks songs growing fastest.

The ranking covers official songs, not user-generated sounds such as clips from videos. Each song links to example videos that use it.

How Do You Find Trending Sounds in the TikTok App?

In the app, trending sounds show up in the sound library and on your For You feed. Listed below are the 4 places to look.

1. Sound library: tap +, then Add sound, and browse the trending and viral playlists.
2. Trend indicator: sounds gaining use can carry a trending label or arrow in the library.
3. A video’s sound page: tap the spinning record on a video to see the sound and how many videos use it.
4. Search: type a song, a lyric or “trending” and open the Sounds tab.

How Do You Tell If a TikTok Sound Is Still Rising?

A sound is still rising when most of its videos were posted in the last few days and its video count jumps between checks. Listed below are the 3 checks.

Check	Rising sound	Peaked sound
Creative Center curve	Still climbing	Flat or falling
Newest videos on the sound page	Hours old	Weeks old
Video count over 2 days	Grows noticeably	Barely changes

Sounds usually peak within one to two weeks, so catching the rise matters more than finding the biggest chart song.

Can Business Accounts Use Trending Sounds?

Business accounts can only use sounds from TikTok’s Commercial Music Library, which is cleared for commercial use. Creative Center has a filter for songs approved for business use, so brands can check a song before building a video around it. Personal accounts have the wider library.

How Do You Use a Trending Sound?

To use a sound, open its sound page and tap Use this sound, or add it from the sound library while editing. To make your own sound or add music you own, see how to add your own sound to TikTok, and to save a sound’s audio, how to download a TikTok sound.

How Do You Find the Name of a Song on TikTok?

Tap the sound name at the bottom of the video, or the spinning record, to open the sound page with its title and artist. If it says “original sound”, it was made by a user; the original creator’s username is shown, and searching a lyric in the Sounds tab often finds the official song too.

How to Measure TikTok Sounds With Data

A sound page shows a video count, but not how fast it’s growing or which videos drive it. apidojo’s TikTok Scraper on Apify accepts TikTok music URLs and returns the videos using that sound, each with views, likes, shares, upload time and its song details, so you can chart a sound’s growth day by day (Apify).
