The rise of TikTok NewMusic feature

TikTok's venture into revolutionizing music exploration builds upon an existing foundation. The #NewMusic hashtag had already amassed a staggering 18 billion views before the official launch of the NewMusic search feature.

With the introduction of this groundbreaking tool, the view count is expected to soar even higher, currently standing at an impressive 19.1 billion. This exponential growth underscores the immense popularity and untapped potential of the platform.

The music-infused DNA of TikTok

TikTok's deep connection with music can be traced back to its origins. The platform emerged as Musical.ly, where users generated captivating videos, often featuring teenagers and young users lip-syncing to an eclectic range of tunes.

Following its acquisition by Bytedance for a remarkable $1 billion, Musical.ly merged with TikTok, leveraging an immensely successful recommendation algorithm, an engaging user interface, and a vibrant community of creators. Music has consistently remained at the core of TikTok's success.

    @Leopeva64 and Seeprime:
    China does not overthrow legitimate governments, invade foreign countries or wage wars overseas with tens of thousands of deaths and millions of displaced people. Uncle Sam does that. It is well documented. As far spying is concerned, Uncle Sam leads the pack by far, spying on everything and everyone, friends and foes, including its own citizens and violating its own laws, often with the help of the country’s technology companies. Ask Snowden about it.

    Moreover, China does not need TikTok to gather personal data of U.S. citizens. It can buy all that at a reasonable price in the nearest American data broker, including sensitive information such as political leanings and medical data.
