The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity from Nov. 4-10. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.
With its sixth week at No. 1 (all consecutive), “Maps” takes over sole possession of the second-longest streak at No. 1 since the chart began in September 2023 (“My Love Mine All Mine,” which also led for six weeks overall, reigned for a pair of three-week periods). Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby,” with its 10-weeks-in-a-row streak, holds the all-time mark.
“Maps,” released on Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ 2003 debut album Fever to Tell, remains driven by a pair of TikTok trends, one a dance challenge and the other using a filter where the user’s facial features are removed and then cascade back down onto their face. One of the utilized sounds is a sped-up version of the song.
For the fourth week in a row, “Maps,” Alphaville’s “Forever Young” and Akon’s “Akon’s Beautiful Day” rank as the chart’s top three, in that order. While No. 3 remains the latter’s peak, “Forever Young” reached No. 1 for a week in October.
From there, the ranking’s top 10 is far less static. Tyler, the Creator’s “Like Him,” featuring Lola Young,” breaks into the top five for the first time, lifting 6-4 in its second week. The song from the rapper’s new album Chromakopia (which tops the Billboard 200 for a second week, as previously reported) rises thanks to another week of the “do I look like him” trend, with creators using the clip to showcase complicated father-child relationships (fictional or real), comparisons to athletes and people past and present, and more.
“Like Him” jumps 10% to 13.7 million official U.S. streams in the week ending Nov. 7, according to Luminate. Concurrently, it vaults 45-29 on the multimetric Billboard Hot 100.
Aphex Twin’s “QKThr” rounds out the top five of the TikTok Billboard Top 50 (up 10-5, one spot away from its No. 4 best), while Beyoncé’s “Diva” follows at No. 6, its first time in the top 10. “Diva,” from the 2008 album I Am…Sasha Fierce, reached No. 19 on the Hot 100 back in 2009.
“Diva” has found new life on TikTok in 2024 via a trend where creators show off their diva-like behavior. It jumps 17% to 2.3 million streams in the Nov. 1-7 tracking week.
Two other songs appear in the TikTok Billboard Top 50’s top 10 for the first time: Gracie Abrams’ “That’s So True” at No. 8, and the live version of Michael Prince’s “Finesse,” featuring Koncept P, at No. 9.
Abrams’ “That’s So True,” released Oct. 18 on the deluxe version of her The Secret of Us album, has gone viral since, paced by lip-synching trends. It zooms to 18.9 million streams, up 26%, in the latest tracking week, good for a 25-13 rise on the Hot 100.
“Finesse,” meanwhile, was released in May on Prince’s Limitless – A Trap Symphony, with its recent gains tied to a trend using the song’s “do you not get the concept?” lyric, generally a two-person dance trend with one person mimicking playing a violin. It earned 437,000 streams in the tracking week ending Nov. 7, up 67%.
And returning to the top 10 after an 11-month respite is Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which shoots 17-7. It spend eight weeks in the top 10 during last holiday season, from the charts dated Nov. 18, 2023, to Jan. 6, 2024, sitting at No. 1 those final two frames.
“All I Want for Christmas Is You” paces holiday-related content on the latest tally, ahead of Wham!’s “Last Christmas” (No. 13, up from No. 48) and Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (a re-entry at No. 22).
