| contents | With over a billion active users, TikTok's video-sharing service is currently one of the largest social media websites. This rise in TikTok's popularity has made the website a central platform for music discovery. In this paper, we analyze how TikTok helps to revitalize older songs. To do so, we use both the popularity of songs shared on TikTok and how the platform allows songs to propagate to other places on the Web. We analyze data from TokBoard, a website measuring such popularity over time, and Google Trends, which captures songs' overall Web search interest. Our analysis initially focuses on whether TokBoard can cause (Granger Causality) popularity on Google Trends. Next, we examine whether TikTok and Google Trends share the same virality patterns (via a Bass Model). To our knowledge, we are one of the first works to study song re-popularization via TikTok. |
