Just a few days in, Kesha is already having a killer 2025. The “Delusional” singer took to X on Thursday (Jan. 2) to crow about the fact that her debut single, “Tik Tok,” is back on top again. “It was 15 years ago that I got my first #1 song! YALL did that. And the fact that tiktok had its biggest streaming day EVER yesterday blows my mind. Thank you for supporting my art yall give me purpose,” she wrote.
After performing the song on Dick Clark’s New York Rockin Eve With Ryan Seacrest 2025, the track — which was the lead single from Kesha’s 2010 debut album, Animal — earned its most-streamed day ever on Spotify. According to a chart Kesha shared, the song that has nearly 1.4 billion streams to date, got a major NYE bump, picking up nearly two million streams over the past few days for a 98% spike.
“This song is for the wild ones, the party girls, the ones who go too hard and laugh too loud and say too much. I love u,” Kesha added. “thank you animals!!! Now Alexa play TikTok LOUDER PLEASE.”
“Tik Tok” was released in August 2009, but didn’t hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 until the first week of January 2010, giving Kesha the first chart-topper of the decade; it then spent nine weeks at the pinnacle and a total of 38 weeks on the chart.
Wearing a fire engine red bodysuit and matching boots, Kesha rocked the stage on New Year’s Eve, where she also performed her current single, “Joyride,” which is slated to appear on her upcoming studio album on her own Kesha Records imprint.
