From dancing trends to food challenges - the weird and wonderful world of TikTok never fails to amuse.
Fans can spend hours scrolling through trending videos, and ultimately there is something for everyone on the social media platform.
But it is fair to say that some do better than others, with millions and even billions of views being racked up on the most popular and most viewed sections of the site.
But which have done the best?
Here we take a look at the most viewed TikTok videos of all time:
1. Zach King’s Magic Ride
2.3 Billion Views
This video features the king of illusion, Zack King, an American-based filmmaker and illusionist who has taken the internet by storm in recent years.
He can be seen apparently flying around on a broomstick without touching the floor, in an illusion which has led to more than two billion views and 564,000 comments.
He writes underneath the caption: “They rejected my application to Hogwarts but I still found a way to be a wizard.”
2. James Charles’ Christmas Sisters Party
1.8 Billion Views
Second on the list is a video of famous TikTokker James Charles, who is a beauty mogul famed for his incredible makeup skills and has a number of videos in the top ten. But this one has nothing to do with his normal skills. This is a snippet from James’ sister’s Christmas party in 2019 and the video has been up a fair few years now, which may be one reason why it has been watched so much.
3. Zach King’s Unexpected Hiding Spots
1.1 Billion Views
Another weird and wonderful one from king of illusions Zach King. This one shows him trying to find a hiding spot, only to be chucked out of hiding spaces by his friends. Then he gives himself a helping hand by climbing through the bathroom mirror cabinet.
4. Glass and Cake Illusion by Zach King
966.7 Million Views
At one glance the glass is half full and looks a refreshing drink.... only for it to then be neither.... because it is cake.

5. “M to the B” lip-Syncing by Bella Porch
690.7 Million Views
At almost a billion views, this one is another fan favourite, though it is short but sweet. The video, posted in August 2020 at the height of the Coronavirus pandemic, shows Bella Porch doing a bit of spot on lip syncing.
6. Zack King’s Wet Wall Illusion
659.5 Million Views
Zack’s back again with another video we cannot explain. Wet paint signs everywhere, but apparently they do not affect Mr King. The illusionist seems to be painting a wall that only he can walk through. This one is worth a watch, even after watching the three other videos on this list.
