The ranking is based on both views and impact, giving a better picture of which videos made the most buzz on the video-sharing social network. Thanks to her newfound fame, Bella Poarch has gone on to score collaborations with stars like James Charles or the rapper Tyga.
In second place comes Nathan Apodaca, better known under his pseudonym of 420DoggFace208, who saw his life change completely when his video went viral. The 37-year-old filmed himself skateboarding to work while his truck was out of action, sipping on Ocean Spray cran-raspberry juice and listening to Dreams by Fleetwood Mac. The video proved a viral hit, which sent the 1977 song hurtling back into the Billboard Hot 100. Juice brand Ocean Spray even gifted him a Nissan Frontier 2020 truck to thank him for the huge amount of publicity it gained from his video.
The third biggest viral video is representative of 2020 and the mass of people forced to work from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic. TikTokker Caitlin Reilly, aka itscaitlinhello, parodied “that coworker you hate” and how they behave during video meetings — a situation the social network’s users clearly identified with.
Will Smith can be found in fifth place with his ‘Wipe it down’ challenge. In ninth place, Julian Bass caught Disney executive chairman Robert Iger’s attention with his impressive special effects video.
