Here Are the Top Five Most Followed Tiktokers in 2020

Tiktok has been a household name for quite some time now. Initially going online in 2016 and hitting U.S shores in 2018 after it merged with then-popular platform, Musical.ly. Boasting a simple user interface and a truckload of innovative features; Tiktok has caused quite a massive frenzy all over the world. Here are the top five content creators in Tiktok with the largest following. 

(Fun Fact: Tiktok’s account isn’t the top followed profile) 

1. Charli D’Amelio (@charlidamelio)

Charli D’Amelio is a 16-year old American content creator and dubbed as the “Reigning Queen of Tiktok”. She posts short dance covers and comedic lip sync videos. In an interview, she said that what she posts on her Tiktok is just her daily routine. She admits that there’s nothing special with what she posts that’s why she cannot understand where the hype is all coming from. As of June 2020, her followers have skyrocketed up to 61 Million. Now that’s a true Tiktok Queen.

2. Zach King (@zachking)

If you don’t know who Zach King is, then we believe you’ve been living under a rock (or maybe you just don’t remember him from vine). Zach is the famous “Social Media Magician”. Long before Tiktok; he created videos on the six-second video platform “Vine”. His content has never changed over the years; but it grew more and more impressive. In his own words, his creations are products of “Digital Sleight of Hand”, or what we simply call “Expert Editing”. Even though he is no David Blaine or Criss Angel, he surely outperforms them in his Tiktok posts.

3. Addison Rae (@addisonre)

Previously the most followed Tiktok artist, Addison Rae Easterling (Addison Rae for short) is an American Tiktok artist famous for her (sometimes comedic) videos and short dance covers. Unlike other Tiktok stars who have no idea why they were famous, Addison Rae knows exactly why she is a sensation in the mobile app: Consistency. In an interview with Forbes, she recalls how often she posts across her social media pages. She ensures that she posts three to five pieces of content per day. Now that’s what we call dedication! As of June 2020, she has amassed 44 Million followers on TikTok.

4. Loren Gray (@lorengray)

Just like Zach, Loren is a seasoned social media veteran. She first gained success in the now-defunct (and now Tiktok) Musical.ly. She became famous on the platform with her lip sync videos. However, things did not sit quite well at first. She was forced to quit school due to bullying over what she does on social media. However, she found her stride in music; releasing six singles over a period of two years. As of today, she is currently signed with Capitol Records and Virgin Records. On TikTok, she has over 43.9 Million followers.
