Over the past year, anything and everything has been about TikTok. Between food hacks, lifestyle aesthetics, beauty tricks, and fashion trends, TikTok has been the place we’ve turned to keep us up to date. One thing that’s been popping up all over the platform is music and while we’ve been introduced to some new songs, we’re being reintroduced to oldies that we forgot about. These are the most popular songs on TikTok and they’ll make you feel nostalgic.

“It’s Gonna Be Me” NSYNC

As soon as April ends, every year without fail NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” becomes a hit. Last year Lance Bass created a dance challenge set to the song.

“Touch It” Busta Ryhmes

Busta Rhymes’ “Touch It” has had a number of remixes throughout the years—there were five popular versions and videos of the song with Mary J. Blige, Rah Digga, Missy Elliot, Lloyd Banks, Papoose, and DMX. Fifteen years later and the song is making a comeback.


“Rasputin” Boney M.

Rasputin was released back in 1978 and once you hear it, it will be stuck in your head. The combination of musical elements is different than anything we’re used to.
