Current Top Trend: #SeaShanty

Trends can surface from a variety of musical genres and have been known to give older songs and styles new life. Recently, sea shanties took over the app thanks to their infectious tunes and collaborative nature.

Kicking off 2021’s first global music craze – the sea shanty – Nathan Evans was the artist that started it all. A postman from Scotland, Nathan shared his version of Sea Shanty classic ‘The Wellerman’ and started one of the biggest music movements in months. The unassuming yet undeniably catchy sea shanty spread through TikTok with the help of the Duet feature. This let artists and musicians add to the viral tune giving each rendition a unique twist leading to epic compositions and even educational explanations.

The Sea Shanty craze continued it’s growth until it eventually reached Hollywood stars like Jimmy Fallon who gave his sea shanty rendition of Olivia Rodrigo’s “Driver’s License” and even convinced Nickleback to join TikTok. The surge of sea shanty content on TikTok shows that unique and lesser known genres of music, regardless of age or current popularity, can become a trend with the help of talented creators and an enthusiastic community.

Hot Track: Rasputin (7“ Version)
