#Dreams #CranberryDreams #FleetwoodMac ♬ Dreams (2004 Remaster) – Fleetwood Mac Dreams and Cranberry just hits different. In the following week, ‘Dreams’ was streamed 8.5 million times in the US alone and returned to the Top 100 in the UK for the first time since it was featured in Glee in 2011. A prime example of this was Nathan Apodaca, an Idaho-based labourer, who posted a TikTok of him on a skateboard, lip-syncing to Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Dreams’. It seems that virality = streaming, and streaming = chart influence. Think of Spotify’s ‘Viral Hits’ playlist: it’s jam-packed with songs, all of which were recently categorised as ‘TikTok songs’. Inevitably, the increased consumption of music on the app spreads onto streaming services. Undoubtedly, the next viral dance trend is about to emerge, and spend too much time on the app and you’ll have a song whirring around in your head as you try to fall asleep at night. Cue 2021 and lockdown 3.0, and it’s a safe bet that the hordes will be returning to TikTok – if they ever left! Lewis Oakley at Milk and Honey PR says, “consumers are watching more short-form videos than they did six months ago,” with short form videos on TikTok proving a “popular form of escapism and a welcome source of entertainment”. The social media phenomenon resulted in millions upon millions of people collectively shimmying to some form of viral song in front of our smartphone cameras.

With more time stuck indoors, many of us stumbled upon TikTok in 2020.
