MUMBAI: Music has always been a success in the world, TikTok has recently become the most downloaded and used app.

The social media app has the power to put songs in the charts and breathe new life into golden oldies.

Thanks to TikTok, Lil Nas X’s Old Town Road shot to viral glory after Billboard rejected it from their ‘country’ charts, in a symbolic victory against musical gatekeeping. But Noughties favourites including Shakira’s ‘Hips Don’t Lie’ have also swept the platform - much to the joy of millennials braving Gen-Z territory.

TikTok is also the place where teenagers can dance their way into global domination from the comfort of their bedroom. Names like Addison Rae, Charli D’Amelio, Perri Kiely and Avani Gregg have been made through 15-second TikTok routines raking in billions of likes.

With their catchy choreography and comedic lip-syncing, TikTokers have set the score of 2020. Here are the year's best TikTok tunes, along with our favourite renditions:
