Ranked: These are the 21 most viewed TikToks of all time

TikTok is a place where stuff goes mad viral for the weirdest reasons. It’s like everyone that’s popular on the app is successful for doing very little (sorry Bella Poarch, but it really do be like this). Having said that, you’ll be pleased to learn that the majority of the most viewed TikToks of all time are genuinely entertaining and well-produced, which you’d certainly hope as the top 21 have been cumulatively viewed over 10 billion times.

So, which videos have the honour of calling themselves in the top 21 most viewed TikToks of all time? Let’s take a look into the most viewed TikToks of all time:

1. Zach King riding a broomstick – 2.2 billion views

Zach King is the KING of illusions on TikTok, and it’s safe to say that he’s probably the best at doing it on the app. This video happens to be the most viewed with 2.2 billion views and a hefty 14.7 million likes.

2. James Charles Christmas explosion – 1.7 billion views

Watch on TikTok

It seems pretty inconceivable that a TikTok by James Charles made last year is the second most viewed on the entire app, especially considering that it only has 7.6 million likes, but there we go.

Don’t get me wrong that’s a great amount, just considering everyone else on this list seems to have well over 10 million likes.

3. Zach King glass of water cake – 965 million

As you’re going to learn, Zach King is responsible for several of the most viewed TikToks of all time. This time he capitalises on the whole “cake or normal object” trend by slicing a glass of water in two. Wow!

4. Zach King best hiding spot – 950 million

So… it’s Zach again. Climbing into a mirror, he totally #pwns all the other contestants in this game of hide and seek that earnt him nearly one billion views.

5. Zach King wet paint – 658.6 million

Zach mate you’ve got to give everyone else a chance! It’s seriously clever how he plays with perspective and loops the video perfectly. It must have taken so much planning, but the result is completely mindbending and many others seem to agree –  this video has a rather tasty 11.2 million views.

6. Bella Poarch M to the B – 504.1 million

Urghhh. We’re all rather sick and tired of this video, but it’s an interesting example of how the app works. Although it’s the most liked video EVER on TikTok at 41.1 million likes, it is over 1.5 billion views behind the most-watched video – something which you wouldn’t tend to see on other platforms such as YouTube.

7. Addison Rae WAP – 276.1 million

Thirsty people all over the globe flocked when they heard that Addison was going to perform the infamous WAP dance, and she didn’t disappoint!

8. Kison Kee slipping with milk – 275.8 million

This is a TikTok classic, and for good reason. What better a recipe do you have for internet fame than stepping into some plastic cups, falling and smashing a whole bottle of milk in the space of a few seconds? Genius.

9. Huge foam explosion – 265.7 million

David Dobrik paid for a scientist to bring loads of elephant’s toothpaste to his back yard and create a huge explosion for content, and it seems like it was worth every penny.

10. Will Smith’s Wipe It Down – 259.9 million

Watch on TikTok

Another celebrity that we’d rather not see take over our beloved video sharing apps, Will Smith has made his smudge on TikTok with his take on the Wipe It Down trend. He must feel very smug that he’s just in the top 10 most viewed TikToks of all time – congrats Will, I hope you enjoy the money.

11. JustMaiko escalator dance – 248.3 million

Watch on TikTok

This happens to be one of the most liked TikTok videos of all time, so it’s hardly a surprise that it’s also one of the most viewed at 248.3 million.

12. Just Maiko escalator dance #2 – 233.6 million

Watch on TikTok

If you find a video that works why not do it again?

13. The Rock’s All I Want for Christmas – 219.6 million

The Rock knows how to make content that normies love – grab your equally unfunny pal, dress up in Christmas costumes and utilise the same old slap-shtick that you always do. Yawn.

14. SpencerX shaves his eyebrow – 217.1 million

15. Bella Poarch The Banjo Beat – 193.6 million

Bella Poarch reappears on this list with her head bobbing and childish facial expressions, this time to The Banjo Beat. It’s so addictive yet so enraging – I’m undecided. This video comes in at number 15 of the most viewed TikToks of all time.

16. David Dobrik’s version of huge foam explosion – 185.9 million

It’s the same foam explosion that you saw a few places up apart from the fact that it’s posted by David Dobrick instead, who paid and ruined his garden for it. I bet he’s fuming.

17. The Rock’s best friend check – 168.5 million

Do we have to go here again? The exact thought process for the Christmas video applies here.

18. Bella Poarch M to the B duet – 166.4 million

It’s like the original video, but a duet! SHOW US THE MONAAAAAAY!

19. Bella Poarch knock at the door – 165.5 million

Watch on TikTok

Bella Poarch knocks at your door and starts doing this at three in the morning.

What do you do? Whatever your answer is, this is probably one of her more ominous videos and I find this audio particularly unsettling. Please Bella, do anything to me just leave my family alone.

20. Charli D’Amelio family dance – 154.6 million

Oh we do love the D’Amelio clan don’t we?! They’re far too good looking, good at dancing and good at milking a cash cow for their own good – is there anything they can’t do?

This pretty normal video sits at number 20 with 154.6 million likes.

21. Bella Poarch hood baby – 149.9 million

Aaaaand finally at number 21 of the most viewed TikToks of all time, Bella brings up the rear with her version of the hood baby song, which has garnered a touch under 150 million likes since upload.

I couldn’t sing along to this song if I tried.
