Tiktok is the app where trends like "skibidi", "give my money" and "rawdogga" on airplanes went viral in 2024.
But it's also the place where influencers can get big hits with unexpected inserts.
She is best known for her participation in "Paradise hotel", but Diana Moseni also created one of the year's biggest viral successes on Swedish Tiktok with her own version of the international giant trend with cucumber salad.
"Soft girl"
Diana Moseni's video where she makes her cucumber salad has been viewed over 532,000 times on Tiktok.
Another big international blue-yellow trend on Tiktok is Swedish candy, which has become very talked about in, among other places, the USA, and videos about it have gotten many views.
In its compilation of the year on Tiktok, the social media company itself highlights that the trends "Soft girl" and "Trad wife" got many views, among other things through influencer Vilma Larsson. A video about her life as a housewife got almost 370,000 views.
Kent = grisch
The Swedish band Kent got a whole new audience during the year when the account Storstadspojkarna used the group's 90s classic "Kräm (så nära får ingen gå)" as the soundtrack to a video about the special Stockholm style and fashion concept "grisch".
The video has been viewed a whole 721,000 times, and in the spring, Kent will make a comeback with six performances in Stockholm.
Viral moments can create big trends overnight. At least, it's shown by the fact that the most popular Swedish artists of the year were Zara Larsson and Cardigans.
Zara Larsson's song "Symphony" got new life when a user on Tiktok used the seven-year-old song as the soundtrack to a picture of dolphins and rainbows, intended to bring comfort. The meme went viral and got many millions of views in several different versions.
In the end, Zara Larsson acknowledged her new success and used dolphins and rainbows as the background on stage during her US tour.
Cardigans have Sabrina Carpenter to thank for their viral success, since the American world star often uses a bit of the Swedish band's 90s hit "Lovefool" in her own song "Feathers" when she performs live.
Internationally, Tiktok notes that the year was a "brat summer". Artist Charli XCX, whose latest album is called "Brat", used social media to reach a large audience – not least through the iconic "apple dance" which got a whole 13.6 million views.
