How to use a trending hashtag

Pick tags that are rising, not just big

A huge tag is crowded. A tag marked Rising has more new posts in the last 3 days than expected, which is when joining still gets you carried by the wave.

Match the tag to what the video is

Open a tag to see the posts behind it. If your video is not the same kind of content, the tag will not help: TikTok shows it to people who watch that format.

Use 3 to 5 tags, one broad and a few specific

One tag for the niche (#booktok), one or two for the exact format or moment (#booktokreview), and your own. Generic tags like #fyp say nothing about the video and are left out of this ranking.

Post while it climbs

Most tags rise for a few days to two weeks. The line next to each tag shows its share of sampled posts per day: a line going up is the moment to post.

How these trends are measured

Every hour, Revid samples TikTok's Explore feed in its 20 categories, plus English searches on ~70 everyday topics, and keeps each post's views, likes, hashtags and sound. This week that is 3.8K posts from 3.6K creators, mostly in ES, EN, RU, AR, PT. Once a day the biggest recent posts are read again, which gives the views each one gained in 24 hours.

  • Posts are posts in our sample from the last 7 days, not totals on TikTok.
  • Rising means a hashtag or sound has more posts in the last 3 days than the sample would predict, each source counted on its own.
  • vs last week compares its share of the sample with the report 7 days earlier, and appears once the panel has a week of data (it has 1 day).
  • A creator's own "original sound", stock library music, ads, and generic tags like #fyp are left out.

Are these numbers the total posts on TikTok?
No. The counts are posts in Revid's sample from the last 7 days. They show which tags are gaining ground relative to each other, which is what matters for picking one. TikTok does not publish live totals per hashtag.
Do hashtags still matter on TikTok?
Yes, as a signal of what a video is about. TikTok uses captions, on-screen text and hashtags to understand a video and to surface it in search. A few precise tags help; a wall of generic ones does not.
