Ranked by TikTok's own popularity score in the Trending tab of Creator Search Insights. The sparkline is the last seven days.

TikTok names these topics itself and folds many related searches into each one, so the figure is the size of the topic, not the number of people typing that exact phrase. Compare them with each other, not with the typed searches above.
