It looks like the TikTok trends aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, they might be here to stay. Well, in some way. Some of the biggest viral hits on TikTok have been given the full orchestral treatment and will get a traditional release on CD and vinyl this summer. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, the mash up with Warner Classics is the first time TikTok has ventured into the traditional music market and will see the 18 songs released on streaming platforms as well as in record stores. Anyone who has spent any significant time on the video streaming platform will recognise songs such as No Roots by Alice Merton which has been used on 1.3 million videos.
TikTok Is Releasing An Album Of The Popular App’s Viral Hits
That, or pleasant piano ditty Pieces by Danilo Stankovic, used by some 3.4 million TikTokkers. All have been given a full work-over by Germany’s Babelsberg Film Orchestra.
“Listening to No Roots in a new musical context is inspiring,” Merton said in a statement. “I’m excited about the project and I’m looking forward to seeing how it comes to life.”
Some cuts reflect the strange tunes that can blow up on the platform, such as Monkeys Spinning Monkeys, the upbeat, flute-filled ditty that makes perfect background music for many light-hearted videos (27.1 million and counting). Wellerman Sea Shanty harks back to the sea shanty craze that took over TikTok in early 2021 after a Scottish postman, Nathan Evans, recorded himself singing the 19th-century folk song.
Six full-length singles from the album will be released across streaming platforms on 8 July, with the full album, TikTok Classics: Memes and Viral Hits, hitting streamers and shops in August.
