Hello iRichers, today we’ll be counting down the Top 10 TikTok
Trends that blew up in 2020!
Welcome to iRicher-where high-quality content meets
high-quality people.
2020 was certainly a wild year, but TikTok allowed many
of us to make the most of it! However, some trends went a little
more viral than most!
And of course, stick around until the end to find out which
TikTocker got a truck full of cranberry juice for his efforts!
At number ten is the wipe it down challenge!
Makeup can work wonders to make someone's looks
go from zero to hero, and this challenge definitely puts
that on display.
Made to the tune of BMW Kenny’s ‘Wipe It Down’,
it involves someone first looking in the mirror in a normal
or sleepy state.
From there, they swipe the mirror until they
appear for a split second fully done up in makeup, with the face
then going away after more swipes.
And while this trend has all but died now, the millions
of repeats it received earlier in the year 2020 really
showed everyone on the
platform the power of a good makeover!
At number nine is the it’s tricky challenge!
Anyone who grew up in the late 1980s is likely
familiar with RUN DMC’s song ‘It’s Tricky’, and in 2020
it got revived in a real way with
the It’s Tricky challenge!
In these videos, a person or group of people would
have to choose between two tricky options on the screen,
and to the tune of the
song they’d run, walk, or dance to their options of choice.
Garnering millions of views across the platform,
these videos often gave you a little insight into the personalities
of your friends, families and favourite celebrities.
Therefore, it’s not all that surprising that it truly did blow up!
At number eight is the hairline check!
It's common knowledge that older people tend to have
receding hairlines, but this trend proved that younger
people could have far-back hairlines as well!
This challenge started with the phrase ‘hairline check’,
and from there, the person would move a hand up their
forehead and push
back their hair until they reached their hairline.
And while some criticised this challenge for being
a little self-deprecating, it certainly normalised the idea
of having a receded hairline, as a lot more people had far back
hairlines than you might think!
Therefore, we’d say this popular trend was
more positive than negative.
At number seven is two pretty best friends guy!
We all know multiple pretty girls out there,
but have you ever seen two pretty best friends?
That was the question answered by a 24-year-old college
student and model Jordan Scott from Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina, when
he said that quote "I ain't never seen two pretty
best friends. It's always one of them gotta be ugly".
This led to a firestorm on TikTok, with some
making hilarious renditions of the phrase while others tried
to prove that there are friend groups where there are,
in fact, two pretty best friends.
And while Jordan Scott already was quite famous on
TikTok before, both this video and some of his newer controversial
content has catapulted him into TikTok stardom in recent months!
At number six is the blinding lights dance challenge!
The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” was one of the Summer
of 2020’s top songs, and as such, it shouldn’t come
as a surprise that TikTok
took it and made it an even bigger hit!
That’s because many TikTockers began to make a dance
challenge to the song, with many people across the platform
attempting to do it in order to get some serious traction.
And while doing the dance in time to the song
may be tough, it certainly made for some pretty entertaining
videos!
At number five is teen impersonations!
Parents and teenagers get into arguments all the time,
as the habits of teenagers can often get under the skin
of their older and supposedly wiser parents.
Yet, in this trend, the roles of parents and teenagers are reversed!
That’s because while the teen holds the phone,
the parents will then mimic the annoying antics of their son or
daughter, with this being anything from refusing to get out of bed at
2:30 in the afternoon to yapping on their phone in a ridiculously
high pitch tone.
And while sometimes these are a little exaggerated,
they are amusing to watch!

At number four is the POV!
POV stands for point of view, and as you might expect,
there are many hilarious TikToks that can be made
from this angle.
More specifically, the POV will usually put you in a pretend
situation, such as being at your grandmother’s house,
at work, or in a classroom.
However, the skits that come as a result are usually
hilarious, as they really bring you in almost as if you
were part of a story.
Therefore, if you want to be entertained for hours,
then POV videos may be the way to go!
At number three are muck bangs!
While this challenge is pretty gross and more than
a tad bit unhealthy, muck bangs are a trend that has
exploded across both
TikTok and the internet at large in recent months!
In essence, muck bangs involve people eating copious
amounts of food in front of a camera, with them often giving
commentary while doing it.
And while health experts warn that eating large quantities
of food in one sitting can be extremely dangerous, we continue
to see people on the platform go through with them so that
they can get the approval of their adoring followers!
At number two is Charli and Dixie D’Amelio’s dances!
Dance challenges are easily one of the most popular
types of videos on TikTok, and Charli and Dixie D’Amelio’s
various dances often take the cake in terms of popularity.
This is because these two are the undisputable
queens of the platform. As a result, teenage girls worldwide
often try to copy their dances as soon as they come out!
And while most of them don’t seem too hard at first glance,
they nonetheless have been able to garner millions
of views from every single video they post!
At number one is the cranberry vibe guy!
While many of us have a lot of stress in our lives,
Idaho man Nathan Apodaca made the best of it in a
now-viral TikTok.
That’s because, in his famous clip, he is riding
on a longboard down the road while drinking cranberry juice
and listening to Fleetwood Mack.
The chill vibes he gave off soon made him a
TikTok star, and hundreds of thousands of users across
the country made TikToks
trying to copy the mood in his video.
Best of all, despite living in an RV and working
in a potato
warehouse, he has now had thousands
of fan donations pour in.
Cranberry juice brand Ocean Breeze
even went so far as to deliver
him a cranberry red truck filled with Ocean
Breeze cranberry juice.
We guess that goes to show the real impact
TikTok can have on its creators' lives!
