How to find trending Sounds / Audio of Instragram
Finding trending sounds on Instagram can be a bit tricky as there’s no official chart for it. However, here are some general tips to help you find them:
1. Scroll through your Reels tab: The Instagram Reels algorithm loves repetition, so it’ll often serve you the same audio multiple times in a row, or within a short time frame. This is the most straightforward way. Open the Reels tab on Instagram and scroll through the videos. Look for the tiny arrow next to some audio titles. This indicates a trending sound. Tap the arrow to see how many Reels have used this sound, where it comes from, and other Reels using it.
Pay attention to the sounds used by Reels you enjoy. If you find a catchy sound in a Reel you like, chances are it might be trending.
2. Identify patterns and songs that frequently repeat:
Once you’ve identified the most frequently heard audios, tap on the audio icon in the bottom right hand corner. This will take you to that specific audio’s page. Before recording a Reel, tap the “Audio” button on the left. Here, you’ll see various sections like “New Releases,” “Original Audio,” and “For You.” The “For You” section often features popular and trending sounds.
Check for an upwards arrow on the number of Reels that have used the audio: If you see an upwards arrow on the number of Reels that have used the audio, then that is a good sign that the audio may be trending, or at the very least, growing in popularity.
Check the official @creators account on Instagram: They often post about trending songs and audios. You can also search for keywords related to your Reel in the Audio search bar. This might lead you to trending sounds relevant to your video’s theme.
3. Watch Trend Reports:
Instagram publishes weekly Trend Reports showcasing popular music, creators, and trends. Keep an eye out for the “Trending Reels” section, which might highlight trending sounds used in many Reels.
4. Follow accounts focused on trending sounds:
Several Instagram accounts curate and share trending Reels and their corresponding audio. Following these accounts will keep you updated on the latest trending sounds.
5. Listen to popular music charts:
Popular music often finds its way to Instagram Reels. Keep an eye on current music charts to see if any popular songs are being used in trending Reels.
Tips:
Experiment with different sounds and see what resonates with your audience.
Save trending sounds you like for later use.
Use trending sounds strategically to increase the reach and engagement of your Reels.
Don’t just follow trends blindly; choose sounds that align with your content and brand.
