Another new video that is creating a buzz on social networks. But this time, neither a scandal nor a heroic act is the basis of the popularity of this TikTok, just a simple “Lip sync”. Or, a lip synchronization reproduced to the lyrics of music. Behind this success, Leah Halton, who (for the moment) holds second place in the likes record on the Chinese platform.
Leah Halton, the silver medal
1.7 million comments, 712.5 million views, 4.3 million recordings… Here is the ranking of the TikTok post of only 12 seconds by Leah Haltonn, described as a 23-year-old Australian model in the New York Post.
Under the nickname @looooooooch, the tiktoker proudly pinned her now viral video, in which she mimes the lyrics of YG Marley’s song, Praise Jah in the Moonlight.
Even if the visibility of the young woman has increased since her publication on February 6, 2024, she does not come out of nowhere. Leah Halton even seems to be used to big scores on her social networks. Indeed, the influencer has no trouble exceeding a million views on most of her videos, all platforms combined (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube). She regularly shows her lifestyle, her travels, makeup and fashion tutorials, and the famous “Lip syncs”, like the one that recently got her breakthrough.
Bella Poarch, the gold medal
If there is a silver medal, there is also a gold medal. The one who still holds the title for the highest number of likes on TikTok remains Bella Poarch, singer with 94 million subscribers on the Chinese social network. She also created a buzz thanks to a “Lip sync” posted on August 18, 2020 on the song M to the B by Millie B.
Her record of 65.9 million likes still makes her the champion of likes on TikTok ahead of Leah Halton. For how long ? To be continued…
