JAKARTA - Last week TikTok and Billboard announced the launch of the official TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart. This is a new weekly chart consisting of the most popular songs on the platform in the United States. The TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart is available to all users in the United States via TikTok and Billboard.com.

The TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart is the first official chart in the United States to track music discovery and engagement on the platform. This is a verified list of the most popular songs on TikTok each week, providing the most accurate record of current music trends occurring in the United States market.

The chart is based on a combination of creations, video views, and user engagement by the TikTok community in the United States, and will be released weekly on Thursdays.

Sexyy Red ranked first on this chart with the song "SkeeYee". Sexy Red's musical dominance is not only limited to first place. The artist also appeared three more times on the first TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart. In second place was Doja Cat's "Paint the Town Red", and third place was Taylor Swift's "August".

“TikTok has become the world's most powerful platform for music discovery and promotion, and every week our passionate community of music fans pushes songs onto the Billboard charts. Therefore, it made perfect sense to partner with Billboard to create the TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart. "This chart provides a clear picture of the music that is being listened to on TikTok, and thus is starting to trend on DSPs (digital music streaming platforms) and other services," said Ole Obermann, Head of Global Music Business Development at TikTok, in a blog post.

“We are thrilled to partner on TikTok's first Billboard chart. "At Billboard, we continue to evolve our charts to reflect the way fans engage with music and connect them more deeply with the artists they love," said Mike Van, President of Billboard.

"We see a clear opportunity to recognize how music discovery on TikTok is shaping popular culture and are proud to be able to offer this tool to the industry, while giving brands a new way to engage with music fans at large. You're not number one until you're number one on Billboard," added Mike Van.

“I am very happy that many of my songs entered the charts on TikTok and the new Billboard chart. I always knew that I would be a number one type of artist, so I want to thank all my fans on TikTok who have been playing my music! I just be myself on TikTok and people love it," said Sexyy Red.

To visit these charts, simply open the TikTok app, tap on the circle icon in the bottom corner of the screen, then tap the 'Music Charts' button in the top right. There you will find the TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart. This chart can also be seen on billboard.com, updated every Thursday morning.
