When local songs go global: TikTok’s power in music discovery
TikTok has become a powerful discovery tool, with local music driving engagement and sparking viral moments.
Over the last three months, the most saved track in South Africa using the ‘add to music app’ discovery feature has been ‘Isaka (6am)’ by Ciza, Jazzworx and Thukuthela, which has been used in over 1.2 million video creations in South Africa alone, and more than 2 million globally.
Similarly, ‘Ngishutheni’ by Goon Flavour, Master KG and Eemoh – another one of the most-saved tracks using ‘add to music app’ in South Africa – has generated nearly one million creations in South Africa and over six million worldwide.
Everyday users can also turn into storytellers and promoters on behalf of artists. The use of an artist’s sound fuels organic music discovery, but also equips artists with actionable insights and promotional opportunities.
TikTok for Artists is available now for all artists with a certified TikTok Artist Account.
Artists can also grant access to their managers and label teams, ensuring that the right people have the insights they need to plan effective campaigns.
