TikTok (tiktok) dropped its “YEAR IN MUSIC 2025” Top 10 Artists Global list — and K-pop stars absolutely dominated!
Not exactly “K-pop” in the strict sense, but KATSEYE (katseyeworld) claimed the No.1 spot, beating out massive global artists. Then ENHYPEN (enhypen) landed at No.3, and Stray Kids (realstraykids) came in at No.5, proving their insane global power.
According to TikTok, KATSEYE racked up over 30 billion views and more than 12 million pieces of content using their music this year, making them a top-tier Gen Z favorite worldwide.
Meanwhile, ENHYPEN’s official TikTok account saw 4.2 billion total views and over 761 million likes across all posts in 2025 — truly massive numbers.
And of course, Stray Kids, who already hold multiple unique Billboard records and remain the first K-pop group to surpass 30 million TikTok followers, also delivered huge results on the platform this year.
Once again, it’s clear: K-pop isn’t niche anymore — it is the mainstream.
