We're showing you the top videos with the most likes on this social network that continues to grow and gain followers thanks to its addictive short videos and viral challenges.
Explosion of likes on TikTok
In 2019, this app exploded worldwide, and millions of people started using it and sharing all kinds of videos: humor, dances, challenges, and countless other topics. These videos are shared by millions of other users and gradually accumulate huge numbers of likes , reaching, in some cases, more than 10 million.
For creators, having their followers give them likes is something quite important, since not only can they know what content they enjoy the most, but it will also mean that the social network will promote these videos more because they are more attractive to their audience.

The most viewed videos on TikTok
Below we show you a compilation of the most viral videos on TikTok so far.
Charli and the pretty blue dress (@charlidamelio)
If you like this app, you have to meet Charli D'Amelio , the creator with the most followers on all of TikTok. In her most-liked video, we can see her dancing, as usual. But this time, she's wearing a pretty, rather elegant blue dress. The video isn't anything particularly special, something that will be repeated quite often in this top list, since you don't need to do anything spectacularly original to have one of the most viral videos on this social network.
The magic of editing (@zachking)
In fifth place, we find another of Zach King 's most viral effects . It's an illusion where he appears to be flying on Harry Potter's broomstick until, "accidentally," the magic trick is revealed. Subsequently, this type of video has become quite popular on this social network, although no one has managed to surpass this particular video in performing magic.
Beatbox at the barbershop (@spencerx)
Spencerx is another of the platform's most popular creators. In this post, we see him playing a prank on his barber that, ultimately, doesn't end as he expected.
A Guinness Record (@daviddobrik)
At the time, it was the second most-viewed video on the entire social network. And it deserved no less. This post earned David Dobrik a Guinness World Record . A wild experiment that catapulted this account to fame and, moreover, earned him a place in the Guinness World Records book.
To the rhythm of Shakira on the escalators (@justmaiko)
Jusmaiko 's account is skyrocketing. This is one of his most viral posts, showing him with a friend and a small child dancing and "singing" on the escalators of a shopping mall.
Charli D'Amelio dancing with her parents (@charlidamelio)
Once again, we see another video from this famous TikTok personality. In this video, Charlie "dances" with his parents to one of the most popular songs on the platform.
Christmas greeting with The Rock and Kevin Hart (@therock)
This video from actor The Rock is nearing the top of the most-liked videos on the social network, although, as we'll see, it won't be the last from this famous personality. It's a somewhat different Christmas video in which we see the actor, along with his friend Kevin Hart, dressed up for the holiday season.
Best friends check between The Rock and Kevin Hart (@therock)
TikTok is a social media platform where challenges go viral very easily. The "best friend check" challenge was one of many that even celebrities joined. In the third most-liked video on this social network, we can see the famous The Rock again performing this challenge with his friend, and well-known actor, Kevin Hart.
Kison Kee and a bumpy breakfast (@kisonkee)
Kison Lee is a creator who became very famous for his videos in which he wore cups on his feet as heels. The most viral video in this "series" was the one in which he was seen preparing a rather disastrous breakfast, as all the milk ended up spilled on the floor.
A sensual dance in the mall (@justmaiko)
Another popular video features Justmaiko dancing . In this post, he uses the same setting—an escalator in a shopping mall—and the same partner—a little boy—who dances alongside him. This post has already garnered over 24 million likes.
The cutest video on the internet (@daexo)
Another of the most-liked videos on this platform is this one posted by the account @daexo . It shows a mother affectionately cuddling her daughter to the rhythm of the music playing. A very sweet post, the kind that always resonates online, as evidenced by its 34 million likes.
Making the “complicated” simple (@ khaby.lame)
We're sure you've come across one of this guy's videos at some point. He's become popular for debunking internet "life hacks" with a touch of humor. With this approach, demonstrating that things are easier and more obvious than what we're led to believe on social media, one of his first videos garnered almost 38 million likes.
Subsequently, this creator has come to position other videos also in very high positions in the top, some of them have gone viral a year after being published. This is the case of 'Opening a car door', uploaded in 2021 and which has 36 million likes. And 'Opening a door', uploaded in June 2021 with 35 million. Without a doubt, Khaby has a special ability to make us laugh, and his audience only grows because of his wit and his way of doing things.
Trends + fame: an explosive mix (@billieeilish)
We all know how the world of social media works and what happens when it's combined with fame acquired in other sectors. This is exactly what happened with this post from singer Billie Eilish, in which she's simply seen using the filter that makes time "pause" as she moves. She finds the face she makes when using the filter hilarious and bursts out laughing. That's it... The result? Well, almost 39 million likes.
bark at your dog@adrianchateau)
What happens if suddenly one day you bark at your dog? Nothing may happen, but Adrian Chateau's doggie reaction is worthy of having garnered more than 40 million likes since the video was uploaded in November 2021.
GENTLE (@mngnzls)
Uploaded in early March 2022, it garnered over 37 million likes before the month's end. It's a remix of El Alfa's song "Suave ."
STAY(@totouchanemu)
@totouchanemu I may not have @maxtaylorlifts dumpy but I do have a drone.
This video was inspired by a previous one by Max Taylor. According to this creator, the goal of the video was to make himself known quickly by doing something that others don't do. Then the tiktoker just focused on repeating the formula over and over again. As he says, he is willing to exploit this format until people get tired.
Sugar Crush (@thenickluciano)
This lip sync while singing ElyOtto's SugarCrash earned Nick Luciano the number 3 spot on this list with 48,5 million likes.
The art of likes (@fredziownik_art)
Who said art couldn't attract millions of likes on social media? User @fredziownik_art has clearly proven otherwise with what is currently the second most-liked video on the entire platform. In it, he recreates a scene he sees in another user's post, but in this case, through his art and drawing. It's truly amazing what this guy can achieve with just a sketchbook and some pencils. The video currently has 48 million likes.
Say it right (@jamie32bsh)
A few days were needed for this simple video of a dance to Say it right by Nelly Furtado to go viral. The video was uploaded by jamie32bsh, and it showed only him dancing to the music with quite a bit of a beat. What was probably not expected is that it would start a whole trend on the network.
The video was uploaded at the end of January 2022 and received almost 48 million likes in just two months. Currently, it is pretty close to reaching the top 1. Almost every known tiktoker has created their own parody of this video. When listening to Nelly Furtado's song, almost everyone already does the famous little dance that made jamie32bsh famous. Let's hope the kid has taken this virality well. If it was what he was looking for with his video, we are totally sure that he has achieved it.
British Promise Cats (@britishpromise.cats)
The internet is split almost evenly between 'not safe for work' content and cat videos. The first type of videos are not allowed on TikTok, so there is no other way than to fill the social network with kittens doing their own tricks.
In this case, the video isn't particularly funny, but it quickly racked up 37 million likes on the platform. The video shows a cat peeking out of a cardboard box. Probably prompted by the flash, it tries to grab the cell phone that's recording it. It's as if, for a moment, it realized it was part of a Big Brother-style reality show.
The video is really short, but you can see the cat's persistence in doing everything possible to avoid being filmed without its permission. We've seen celebrity gossip shows where they push reporters away in the same way.
The most famous "lip sync" on the net (@bellapoarch)
Sometimes the virality of social media is somewhat incomprehensible, and a clear example of this is the video that currently has the most likes on all of TikTok. It's a post by Bella Poarch , a 19-year-old Filipina, who used the "lip-sync" feature with a song by Jvke. Just like that. At the moment, this post has over 60 million likes on TikTok.
To give us an idea, since this TikTok was uploaded, the social network has grown tremendously. Millions of users have registered on this network since then, but the record has stood. Bella Poarch made her post on August 18, 2020. Just a month later, she broke the record. Since then, no one on the Chinese social network has been able to stop this success.
Until this video was uploaded to TikTok, the number one spot on the TikTok charts didn't last very long. For example, the British Promise Cats video only held the top spot for a month. Michael Le's escalator dance didn't even last three months at the top. Bella shattered this record, as her video has been at number one for two years now, and it doesn't look like anyone is going to stop her huge success. Although, if anyone can, it's probably our beloved Khaby Lame and his fantastic sense of humor.
These are the most viral videos on this social network so far. As we've mentioned before, the world of likes , views, and ultimately, fame, is constantly changing. Surely, a new video will soon appear and become a huge hit. Which of these posts did you like the most?
