TikTok has had another tremendous year. With over 3 billion downloads, and a user increase of over 180%, it’s safe to say we’ve been glued to the addictive app. 

So, what have been the standout trends on TikTok for 2022? 

January

Ok I like it… Picasso 

Kicking off the TikTok year in review, we have a TikTok classic. Posted originally by @itsreefa, the sound has racked up 1.7 billion views, and over 202.9K videos have been created using it.

Ah, the age old question… are there more wheels or doors in the world? With over 494.8M views on the debate, we’ve had arguments for Hot Wheels ruling wheels, and advent calendars and cruise ships ruling doors. (We’re Team Wheel).
