Niana Guerrero, Catriona Gray and Margielyn Didal recently topped categories listed on TikTok’s year-end report for 2021.
On December 6, the video-sharing service released its report called “Year on TikTok 2021” that listed popular songs, trends, dances and other works in its platform in the Philippines and around the world.
TikTok Philippines also shared a video version of this report.
The platform became the go-to place of most people after most government imposed tough lockdowns last year to contain the coronavirus pandemic.
A year after, the global TikTok community continued to grow.
It previously reported that more than one billion around the world turned to the platform to be entertained, and find and learn new things.
“TikTok has become a beloved part of life for people around the world because of the creativity and authenticity of our creators. Our global community is remarkable in its ability to reach millions of people, across generations. From music, food, beauty and fashion to art, causes, and everything in between, culture truly starts on TikTok,” the TikTok team said in a statement.
In the list, Guerrero, who also won in the first TikTok Awards in the country, was recognized in two categories which are:
- The Playlist: Popular Songs – for her Trending Dance video of “Booty Wurk” by T-Pain
