These are the songs and sounds trending on TikTok today, straight from TikTok's own hot sounds list.

How to use a trending sound
Open the sound, watch three or four of the top videos using it, and copy the format, not the joke. Post while the count is still climbing: check this page again tomorrow and see whether the number grew. Pair the sound with what people search: the daily trends page shows the searches rising today, and the guide to finding trending sounds covers the app's own tools.
How this page works
Every day we read TikTok's hot sounds catalogue, up to three pages of 30, and rank the sounds by the video count TikTok shows on each. The list is TikTok's own selection of sounds it marks as hot, so it leans towards sounds that are spreading now rather than all-time favourites. "Cleared for business use" is TikTok's commercial-use flag on the sound; "Not marked" means the flag was absent, not that a business account can use it. Last read 12 October 2026.
Frequently asked questions
What song is trending on TikTok right now?
The first row of the table is the sound used in the most videos on TikTok's hot sounds list today, and the list is re-read every day. The date at the top is the reading date, and each name opens the sound on TikTok.
Can a business account use trending TikTok songs?
Only sounds licensed for commercial use. TikTok marks those with a commercial-use flag, and this page lists them separately. Popular chart songs usually aren't cleared, so business accounts use TikTok's Commercial Music Library or original audio.
How do I find out which song a TikTok video uses?
Tap the sound name at the bottom of the video in the app, which opens the sound page with every video using it. On the web, the sound name sits under the caption. Original sounds are audio a creator recorded, not a released song.
