How to use trending sounds without looking late
The sweet spot for jumping on a TikTok trend is the day or two between “a few thousand creators using it” and “everyone is using it”. Sounds at the very top of trending charts are usually past peak — find ones with growing momentum a few rows down.
Region matters
What's trending in Indonesia is often very different from what's trending in the US. If your audience is regional, switch the region selector to match — using a US-only trend when you serve Indonesian viewers can actually hurt your reach.
