It is no doubt that TikTok has established itself as a top platform for discovering great musical artists. With more users joining in 2022, the platform has grown even bigger across the globe, giving artists a wider audience. According to an Insider Intelligence forecast, TikTok had about 750 million monthly users worldwide in 2022.

The platform has released its own year-end round-up list of the most popular artists and songs on the platform. They broke the data up into U.S.-only and global rankings to show how much Americans are like and different from users in the rest of the world.
