Freed from the limitations of programmed radio or streaming playlists, a viral song on TikTok can come from any year, any genre, or any artist, fueled by a community eager to find and share new musical obsessions.
Canadians were a major part of this year’s Year On TikTok – Music 2020 list, from established superstars like Drake, Justin Bieber and The Weeknd (and really what’s more meaningful a Grammy nomination or TikTok’s Top Artists?), to #TBT artists like Avril Lavigne and Nelly Furtado and new emerging artists that attribute their success to TikTok like Curtis Waters, 437Aiden and Tate McRae.
