2023 has been another amazing year for music, and many people used TikTok to discover new artists and songs. The impact of this social media platform on the music industry is undeniable, and they just unveiled their list of the top artists and songs for 2023.

The social media platform’s annual “Year on TikTok 2023” offered an overview of the biggest trends to emerge in the past 12 months. TikTok’s head of operations Adam Presser described it as “a window into stories that have inspired, entertained, and educated over 1 billion people around the world.”

In terms of music, 2023 has been a great year for Selena Gomez, who took the No. 1 spot on TikTok’s list of the top artists in the United States. This is most likely due to the fact that Gomez is one of the most-followed celebrities on TikTok, but the success of her hit collaboration “Calm Down” with Rema certainly helped.

Gomez is followed by the rising star Natalie Jane, while the rapper Ice Spice and pop stars Meghan Trainor and Ariana Grande rounded out the top five.

As for top songs of 2023, the sped-up version of Justine Skye’s “Collide” dominated the list, ahead of FIFTY FIFTY’s “Cupid – Twin Ver – Sped Up Version”, PARTYNEXTDOOR’s “Her Way (Sped Up)”, Toosii’s “Favorite Song – Sped Up”, and “Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2” by PinkPantheress and Ice Spice.

TikTok had an undeniable impact on the music industry in recent years, and they’re getting ready to take things one step further. This social media service introduced a brand-new feature, allowing its users to add music from TikTok to third-party music streaming services.

TikTok introduced the “Add to Music App” feature in partnership with Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. They’re rolling it out in the United States and the United Kingdom, but plan to introduce it in other markets, as well, in the upcoming months.

According to TikTok’s official announcement, this feature is meant to create “a direct link between discovery on TikTok and consumption on a music streaming service, making it easier than ever for music fans to enjoy the full-length song on the music streaming service of their choice, thereby generating even greater value for artists and rightsholders.”

Even before TikTok introduced this new feature, its impact on the music industry was impossible to deny. Several songs found viral popularity and climbed to the top of the charts thanks to this streaming service, from Kate Bush’s “Running Up That Hill” to “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” from Encanto. TikTok even partnered up with Billboard to launch a brand-new chart tracking the most popular songs on this social media platform earlier this year.

TikTok heavily influenced Billboard charts over the years, and the masterminds behind this popular music magazine decided to do something about it. Billboard just introduced a brand-new TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart, which tracks the music from the popular social media platform.

This newly-introduced chart will monitor the popularity of music on TikTok, and it’s based on a combination of creations, video views, and user engagement by the TikTok community in the United States.

TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart will be released weekly every Thursday, and the inaugural chart was topped by S—- Red’s viral hit “SkeeYee”. Doja Cat’s Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Paint the Town Red” hit No. 2 followed by Taylor Swift’ “August”, “Go!” by Greg Cipes, Scott Menville, Khary Payton, Tara Strong, Hynden Walch, and “I Remember Everything” by Zach Bryan and Kacey Musgraves.

Mike Van, the president of Billboard, said they’re thrilled to introduce this new chart because no song is truly No. 1 until it’s No. 1 on one of the Billboard charts.

“At Billboard, we are constantly evolving our charts to reflect how fans engage with music and connect them more deeply with the artists they love. We see a clear opportunity to recognize the way music discovery on TikTok is shaping popular culture,” said Van in a statement.

While YouTube and Instagram are still great online platforms to spread the word when it comes to up-and-coming musicians, TikTok has been taking over quite a large portion of that area, especially when it comes to Gen Z audiences. Some anonymous cover artists really got the hang of it and are reaching millions of listeners globally with just basic smartphone video and a bedroom setting. Here are three TikTok covers that made it big and crossed the coveted 1M views milestone.

Ebony Loren with Stereo Hearts

Ebony is crushing it with this one, bringing her own personal touch to the original version by Gym Class Heroes and Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine. Her gentle voice and a simple guitar strumming pattern are all you need.

Sofia Camara with Favorite Crime

Sofia really gives it her all in this TikTok performance of Olivia Rodrigo’s hit song. The comments range from “MAGICAL” and “WOW” to “how is it possible to reach these notes without pain.” Kudus!

Samii.rosee with Impossible

Whether you prefer the James Arthur version or you are more team Shontelle, there’s no way to deny how good samii.rosee’s TikTok version of the song is. The girl is literally singing this lying on her bedroom carpet! It’s as raw and heartfelt as it gets.

In the past, aspiring musicians had to send demos to every producer and record label in order to get signed, but now, TikTok has become the way to get discovered. Last year, Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion became super popular due to their popularity on the platform, helping them earn Grammy nominations, and TikTok has even boosted the careers of veteran artists including Fleetwood Mac and Aly & AJ. These three TikTok artists have already landed labels due to their presence on the platform and you’re hearing about them hear first.

Nessa Barrett

The 18-year-old singer started her TikTok account in early 2019, posting lip-synching videos to popular songs. Two years later and she has over 13 million followers. After posting clips of her singing on the platform, Warner Records reached out to sign her and her debut “Pain” was released in July. Since then she’s released “if you love me”, a punk-rock take on “Santa Baby”. She told Variety that her music has a “punk, dark rock kind of vibe.”

Jxdn

This TikToker tuned Travis Barker prodigy is just 19-years-old and he started on the platform making comedic content. He now has almost nine million followers and he fell in love with singing after watching Justin Bieber’s Never Say Never documentary. After releasing his first song, “Comatose,” independently in February, he got a call from Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker who made him the first and only signee of his label, DTA Records. Jxdn now has five singles and two of which, Angels & Demons” and “So What!,” broke through the top 10 U.S. rock charts. He’s releasing his debut album in early 2021 and the first single “Better Off Dead” was released on December 18.

Jufu

Jufu started with Vine at the young age of 13 and he then carried his followers to Musical.ly, and then TikTok, where he has 3.2 million. “Woahh” was his first song to go viral and at first it was only 30 seconds. After the popularity of the raper’s single peeked, he made a full version. His next release, “Who R U,” started a TikTok challenge that Will Smith and Steve Harvey participated in. Jufu was approached by 12 to 15 labels before signing with Island Records.
