What makes a TikTok blow up — and how many views actually count as viral?
With the speed of business today, everyone wants to go viral on TikTok! But what does viral actually mean on TikTok in 2025? Is it 10,000 views? 100,000 views? Is it a million? The true meaning actually varies based on several key components; your following, your engagement, and how quickly the video diffuses across the app.
Let’s break it down.
So, what’s the social accepted number?This is roughly estimated based on trends and characteristics of the TikTok platform:
10,000+ views: We have some traction, good for new or lower follower accounts
100,000+ views: gaining some real traction and considered semi-viral.
500,000+ views: Viral for most accounts
1 million + views: viral across the platform
10M + views: Mega viral, in fact probably trending on most if not all of the “For You” pages across the world!
