TikTok (eng)

Music on TikTok gains popularity through short videos. These clips help tracks quickly go viral, boosting their success on streaming platforms. As a result, TikTok serves as a powerful tool for music promotion.

TikTok’s algorithm analyzes multiple signals, including likes, comments, follows, and watch time, to determine what content appeals to users.

TikTok data is also used in determining the score for M Countdown.

M Countdown SNS

Candidates can earn up to 500 points on M Countdown depending on how the song performs on TikTok.

We don't know exactly how M Countdown uses TikTok in their scoring. It almost certainly uses the number of videos that use the official song audio as the sound, but it may take into account other factors such as:

  • Views, likes, comments and shares on videos that have the official song audio as the sound
  • Views, likes, comments and shares on videos on XLOV's official TikTok account
  • Use of artist and song hashtags in videos
  • It's also possible that M Countdown uses YouTube Shorts as well.

The best way to boost XLOV's M Countdown TikTok SNS score is to make as many videos as possible using the official song audio as the sound.

But also make sure to engage with XLOV's official TikTok content and other TikToks that use official XLOV audio and hashtags.

How to boost a track’s popularity on TikTok:

  • Engage with original XLOV videos featuring their tracks—like, favorite, comment, and share them.
  • Interact as soon as a video is posted. Early engagement helps with promotion. Turn on notifications for XLOV’s account so you do not miss new uploads.
  • Politely encourage non-fandom creators to make videos, dances, covers, or remixes using XLOV’s song.
  • Support other creators’ videos by liking, commenting, reposting, and adding videos to favorites.
  • Use the track in your own videos, but make sure to use the official sound.
  • Add hashtags to your posts to attract new viewers.
  • Check TikTok analytics to find the best posting times—pick moments when your followers are most active.

Important! Always watch videos with XLOV tracks all the way through.

Choosing hashtags:

  • Mix trending and niche hashtags to expand reach while targeting the right audience.
  • Follow trends and hot topics to leverage trending hashtags.
  • Limit hashtags to 4-6 per post—avoid overloading or spamming.
  • Analyze which hashtags bring the most views and engagement and focus on those.
