US R&B star Tinashe has claimed the title of the UK’s TikTok Song of the Summer with her track “Nasty,” beating out popular hits by Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish.
The song has soundtracked more than 10 million videos on the video-sharing platform, solidifying its status as a viral sensation.
“Nasty” first gained widespread attention in April 2024 when its sultry groove was featured in a video by British dancer Nate de Winer. The video, which quickly went viral, has been viewed more than 13 million times. De Winer’s choreography became a cultural phenomenon, with celebrities like Christina Aguilera and Janet Jackson recreating the dance.
The track’s popularity reached new heights when it was even spliced into footage of King Charles revealing his official portrait at Buckingham Palace in May, further cementing its place in pop culture.
