The TikTok Billboard Top 50 is a weekly ranking of the most popular songs on TikTok in the United States based on creations, video views and user engagement. The latest chart reflects activity from Oct. 14-20. Activity on TikTok is not included in Billboard charts except for the TikTok Billboard Top 50.
“Maps” – on the strength of two dominant TikTok trends, one a dance and the other using a filter to remove one’s facial features (more on that here) – and Alphaville’s “Forever Young” remain at Nos. 1 and 2; “Forever Young” is a previous No. 1 on the chart, having ruled the Oct. 5 survey, and the song hasn’t been below the top three since September.

Despite the stagnant top two, there’s movement elsewhere in the top 10, paced by Akon’s “Akon’s Beautiful Day,” which zooms 8-3 in its second week on the chart.
Initially, the top clips using the song were from Akon himself, but the tune – released Oct. 4 after being teased on the platform previously – has since spread to hundreds of thousands of usages by other creators, ranging from sports-related videos, uploads about positivity and friendship, general-topic content and more.
Concurrently, “Akon’s Beautiful Day” debuts at No. 31 on Billboard’s Rhythmic Airplay chart. In the week ending Oct. 17, it earned 448,000 official U.S. streams, up 25%, according to Luminate.
It’s followed on the TikTok Billboard Top 50 by Aphex Twin’s “QKThr,” which completes a 19-week rise to the top 10 with an 11-4 bump. That’s the lengthiest amount of time from debut week to first time in the top 10 since the chart began in September 2023, eclipsing the 15 weeks Billie Eilish’s “Wildflower” took before hitting No. 7 last month.
“QKThr” debuted at No. 13 on the Feb. 10-dated list and bounced around the chart for five weeks before falling off, returning for its current run in July. Released in 2001 as part of Aphex Twin’s album Drukqs, its latest rise is tied to the “subtle foreshadowing” trend where users post clips of misfortune with what’s to come stitched in throughout the video.
FloyyMenor’s “Peligrosa” also reaches a new peak, moving 9-6. It’s his second top 10 on the chart, following the No. 5 peak of “Gata Only,” alongside Cris Mj, in April.
“Peligrosa,” which has risen as high as No. 19 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart earlier this month after being released in July, benefits from a dance trend alongside other high-performing uploads. It earned 2.8 million streams in the week ending Oct. 17.
The TikTok Billboard Top 50’s top 10 also sports a debut within its confines: Vines’ “Being Loved Isn’t the Same As Being Understood,” which bows at No. 8. Premiered in March, the song has exploded in popularity on TikTok due to a trend that’s usually presented as a photo collage meant to “sum up” the person represented, whether it’s themselves, a family member or a friend.
Though it’s not a 19-week trip like “QKThr,” Gigi Perez’s “Sailor Song” also completes a lengthy run to the top 10, jumping 24-10 in its ninth week on the chart. A variety of high-performing videos following loosely related trends, including one where people surprise their long-distance significant others in person.
“Sailor Song” rises to a new peak of No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100, jumping 13% in streams to 13 million in the week ending Oct. 17.

Beyoncé is set to appear at Kamala Harris‘ rally in Houston, Tex. — the pop superstar’s hometown — this Friday (Oct. 25), according to multiple reports.
Per The Washington Post, CNN, ABC News, The Hollywood Reporter and NBC News, which cited sources familiar with the planning, Bey will appear at the event — the venue of which has yet to be announced — as the Democratic candidate makes one of her final addresses to voters ahead of Election Day on Nov. 5. The reports include no further details on whether the “Texas Hold ‘Em” musician will perform or share remarks.
The DNC’s event posting for the rally, however, confirms that Bey’s mom, Tina Knowles, and Cowboy Carter collaborator, country legend Willie Nelson, will definitely be in attendance.
Billboard has reached out to Beyoncé’s rep, Harris’ campaign and the DNC for comment.
Though the 32-time Grammy winner has not vocalized support for Harris amid the 2024 election cycle, her presence has loomed large over the VP’s campaign. In August, the superstar was heavily rumored to appear at the Democratic National Convention — leaving even some of the Chicago event’s staffers to believe she was on the premises — but never showed up. Her 2016 track “Freedom” has also been prominent in Harris’ campaign, becoming the former prosecutor’s walkout song back in July. CNN confirmed that month that Bey had indeed given direct approval for the song’s use.
The “Break My Soul” artist has also long used her voice to support political causes, performing with Jay-Z at a Hillary Clinton musical rally in Cleveland in 2016. In 2020, Bey supported Joe Biden’s campaign and later celebrated his victory on Instagram.
If she appears, Bey will become just the latest musician to support Harris in person at a campaign event. Megan Thee Stallion, Bon Iver, Pink, Stevie Wonder and several more have performed at various rallies for the VP this year, while others such as Quavo and Eminem have given remarks. Dozens more artists have also publicly endorsed the Democratic ticket in recent months, including Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Cardi B, Katy Perry and more.
Bey’s mom has also previously come out in support of Harris. “New, Youthful, Sharp,” Knowles wrote on Instagram July 21, sharing a photo of herself posing with the politician. “Go Vice President Kamala Harris for President. Let’s Go ❤️❤️❤️❤️ #kamala2024”
