Kesha has experienced a significant milestone as her 2009 hit “Tik Tok” became the most streamed song on Spotify on January 1, 2025. This achievement followed her performance of the track during New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, marking a triumphant moment for the pop star, who originally climbed to the top of the charts in early 2010 with the same song.
On social media, Kesha expressed her gratitude, reflecting on how “Tik Tok,” which recently garnered nearly 2 million streams in one day, continues to resonate with fans. She acknowledged the support she’s received over the years and dedicated the song to her fans, whom she affectionately refers to as “animals.”
Originally released in August 2009, “Tik Tok” quickly became a defining hit of the decade, topping the Billboard Hot 100 for nine weeks and achieving a 12-times platinum certification from the RIAA. During her recent performance, Kesha also showcased her upcoming single “Joyride,” which is set to be released prior to her new album under Kesha Records.
In recent years, Kesha has made waves by altering the lyrics of “Tik Tok” during live performances, including a notable modification of a line related to P. Diddy. This change followed a series of sexual abuse allegations against musicians and reflects Kesha’s evolving artistic expression. She has indicated plans to re-record the song with its new lyrics once she secures the necessary legal rights.
