It's about time tbh, now we can track TikTok hits just like we do with Spotify, radio, etc.

[Katamari]

will wiki acknowledge it tho

Doja is coming for her 34 weeks number 1

What is this?  Why didn’t they just factor the stats into the already existing streaming chart? 

[bad guy]

Right after WWIMF could have gotten some kind of #1 from Billboard

 

[getBusy]

Can’t wait for “More passion, more energy” to hit #1

Tinashe, sis, the time has come to run up the TikTok payola

[JustLikeHoney]

Billboard is always three steps behind. 

 

It's about time. 

[Philo]

I hope some Cupcakke remix is able to chart

The funny thing is this used to count towards the Hot 100 before 2020. I never really understood why they removed UGC from the Hot 100 formula, but continued to keep sales.

Barbie world could’ve snatch ha tik tok #1  we demand justice.

Interesting. I'm curious how stan twitter will utilize this chart in fan wars. With Sexy Redd leading the inaugural chart I'm assuming it'll be fairly irrelevant.

TikTok is not a music streaming service 

[SleepingTigers]

They’re just one step away from incorporating TikTok streams into the hot 100 I feel, they’ll probably do it when TikTok obsolete. 

[Gossip_Boy]

About time they have this. 

[Fitzswiftie]

Cee Lo and R. Kelly on the chart. 
 

Ew

[drivers license]

SexyyRed being on the chart like 4 times ehhh...

 

I don't spend as much time on TikTok as I did back in 2019 and 2020 but this chart will be interesting. A lot of the songs that blew up on TikTok were underground rap songs that people would then post on TikTok and remix like 20 times.
