Way back in January of this year, my (at the time) 8th-grade daughter was on this new App on her I-Phone called TikTok. She would post five-to-ten-second dances to mostly rap songs.
As a DJ, I was hearing the songs and in the back of my mind I was thinking one thing. “This is a great way for an artist to get their music out there!” The only problem I did see was that you didn’t know who that artist was.
I still do not have a TikTok account. Why? Well, my wife has one. She and my (now 9th-grade) daughter make silly videos and laugh about what they have done!
Fast forward to today. I have been back to DJ’ing weddings since the first week in June. More and more people are asking if I have a song they found on TikTok. “Wow,” I thought. “I guess I better start looking into the songs that are hot on TikTok.”
To help out, I even made a list of songs for this month!
Let us know if you have any that you love to hear! You can email me at lguzzo@spectrum-ent.com
(FYI, This list is in no particular order)…
“Roxanne” by Arizona Zervas
This has been a huge song on TikTok and helped this artist become a instant hit!
“Say So” By Doja Cat
I love this song!! I has that retro vibe to it!
“My Oh My” by Camila Cabello feat. DaBaby
This song has a scary feel to it, and I think the black-and-white video is way cool!
“Take It Off” by Ke$ha
It’s not just new music that has become hot on TikTok!
“Supalonley” by Benee
This was requested 3 times this weekend!
I know the big thing is the quick hit 10-second videos on TikTok.
This is one was hot for a quick minute!
“Lalala” by y2k & bbno$
I hope you enjoyed this look into how we, as DJ’s, might find or hear about new songs to make you dance.
See you on the dance floor!
