The ‘Call of Duty Sounds: Open Verse Challenge’ is alive and rocking

Needed a reason to ignite your own TikTok account? Look no further than this new challenge encouraging newbies or even seasoned veterans to come together and geek out over the rap game culture with a fire verse.

Call of Duty is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop the only way it knows how….by going all in!! Sound effects in video games are repeated hundreds of times for players and they are ingrained in their subconscious. Call of Duty leaned into this insight and produced a one-of-a-kind hip-hop inspired track featuring multiple Call of Duty in-game sound effects that crescendos together into an epic war track. The song is brought to life through the brand’s first ever Open Verse Challenge on the Call of Duty TikTok featuring a unique beat sync video and invited creators Zaehd, Flawless and Kenny to drop a verse.

Forget winning the Super Bowl, can my New York Football Giants crack into becoming one of the Top 10 most popular NFL Teams to follow on TikTok? Yikes. While they do crack into the Top 15, it’s pretty cool to see the entire 32 team line-up on this quirky list.

Here’s the most popular NFL Teams on TikTok

A big salute goes out to the folks over at Sidelines for the roundup and with Patrick Mahomes killing it with his various commercials, it’s a no-brainer the Kansas City Chiefs have some serious star power when it comes to TikTok.

A new study has revealed the most popular NFL teams on TikTok, with the Kansas City Chiefs taking the crown, amassing more than 3 million followers. 

Odds comparison experts Sidelines analyzed the TikTok accounts of all 32 teams in the NFL, to find out which had the most followers, the largest number of likes and the most likes per video on average. 

The Kansas City Chiefs ranked as the most popular NFL team on TikTok, amassing more than 3 million followers. On average they receive an impressive 137,892 likes per video, and at the time of writing, their most recent TikTok features the ‘Elite Ball Placement’ between their Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and their Wide Receiver Justyn Ross. 

The Philadelphia Eagles are the second most followed, with 2.3 million TikTok followers. The Eagles have amassed a staggering 57.1 million likes in total across all of their TikTok videos, which is the highest total number of likes of any NFL team.  

In third are the Dallas Cowboys, having amassed 2 million followers on TikTok. On average they receive 83,193 likes per video and have accrued 25.9 million likes across all of their uploads. 

The Detroit Lions sit in fourth place with 1.92 million followers. The Lions have received more than 37 million likes across 169 uploads, equating to 219,289 likes per video on average. This means that on average, they have the most likes per video of any NFL team. 

Rounding off the top five are the Buffalo Bills, with 1.84 million followers. The Bills have the second highest number of likes per video behind the Detroit Lions, with 175,394 likes per post on average. 

Little separates sixth and seventh place, which belongs to the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cincinnati Bengals with 1.77 million and 1.76 million followers respectively. 

The eighth most popular team are the Los Angeles Rams with 1.46 million followers and 50,812 likes per video on average.  

Ninth and tenth place are close contenders, with the San Francisco 49ers clocking in 1.29 million followers, while the Baltimore Ravens secure the tenth spot with 1.28 million followers. 

The Houston Texans are the least popular NFL team on TikTok, with 333,770 followers, an almost 2.7 million follower difference from the Chiefs who ranked top. The Texans also have the lowest total number of likes out of any NFL team, at just 2.8 million in total. 

A spokesperson for Sidelines commented:  

“As the 2023 NFL season edges closer, it's interesting to get an insight into how teams stack up against each other in terms of online following and fan engagement. 

“Three-time Super Bowl winners, Kansas City Chiefs, are the current TikTok frontrunners with a near 700,000 follower lead over the Philadelphia Eagles who placed second. 

“Detroit Lions appear to receive the most consistent fan support on TikTok, despite posting few videos to the platform. With the most likes per video on average, they even manage to outrank the likes of more globally recognised teams such as the Dallas Cowboys and the Buffalo Bills in terms of TikTok engagement. 

“With some teams being relatively new to TikTok, it will be fascinating to see whether the rankings change substantially once the new season begins and gameday hype picks back up.”

The NFL season is long gone but it doesn’t mean the teams’ content creators are slowing down. A new Casino Alpha report reveals just what teams have the most TikTok followers with 2023 underway and needless to say? My New York Football Giants need to step it up.

It’s all in the numbers

While the Dallas Cowboys are America’s Team, it’s clear the team has ample work to do to get to the same level as the Super Bowl-winning Kansas City Chiefs.

The most followed NFL teams on TikTok have been revealed in a new study. 

To determine the most-followed teams, casino experts Casino Alpha analyzed TikTok, to find out how many followers each of the official NFL team accounts have and how many likes their videos have received.  

Ranking in first spot after their win on Sunday is the Kansas City Chiefs, the study found they are the most followed NFL team on TikTok, with a total of 2.6 million followers and 45.6 million likes for videos they have posted on their official account. The Chiefs’ top pinned video, which has gained 5.8 million views, is based on asking their players who their favorite team mate is.  

Coming in first for TikTok likes and second in TikTok followers is the Philadelphia Eagles, whose videos have received 48 million likes - 2.4 million more than the Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles’ most viewed video is of player DeVonta Smith,‘Mic’d Up’, which has gained 7.4 million views.  

The Dallas Cowboys came in joint third place, on 1.9 million followers and 25 million likes across their videos, with their latest video posted on Micah Parsons gaining 1.1 million views and 100,500 likes.  

Joining the Dallas Cowboys in third place are the Detroit Lions who claim to be the ‘CEO of verified replies’ in their TikTok bio with 1.9 million followers and 36.4 million likes across their videos. That makes the Detroit Lions’ videos more liked than the Dallas Cowboys with a 11.4 million TikTok likes difference.  

The Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals and Pittsburgh Steelers are the fourth and joint fifth most followed NFL accounts, with the Bills coming in fourth place just on top of the Bengals and Steelers. The Bills official team account has 100,000 more followers than the Bengals and Steelers, which each have 1.8 million TikTok followers.  

In sixth place is the Los Angeles Rams which is followed by joint seventh place for San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens and New England Patriots. Eighth spot is taken up by the New York Giants and Miami Dolphins. Then five teams come in joint ninth with one million followers - the Chicago Bears, Seattle Seahawks, Indianapolis Colts, Los Angeles Chargers and Tennessee Titans. Finally, claiming number ten on the list is the Carolina Panthers.  

A spokesperson from CasinoAlpha.com  commented on the findings “As the NFL took place on Sunday, it’s interesting to see which NFL teams are the most popular and generating the most interactions with their fans on TikTok. It’s also fascinating to note that the official NFL TikTok account has a huge 10 million followers and 414.1 million likes, which is more followers than the four most followed NFL teams combined. The content and the interactions of all the accounts built up to a great atmosphere and tension for the game and it's interesting to see how the Kansas City Chiefs who won have the most TikTok followers.”

TikTok's $12 billion year has music labels ready to cash-in too

There’s no question TikTok is the new Instagram if not the new Google for social media in 2022. So buzz about record labels wanting a bigger slice of the profits pie should be no surprise with the holidays around the corner.

There’s no question TikTok is the new Instagram if not the new Google for social media in 2022. So buzz about record labels wanting a bigger slice of the profits pie should be no surprise with the holidays around the corner.

TikTok has music labels wanting to go into the billion dollar bag

Buzz is generating over TikTok feeling the pressure of music companies leaning toward wanting more benefits from green lighting its artists’ music for being used by users.

It’s about to go down 🥊 @universalmusicgroup@sonymusic and @warnermusic are asking for a bigger portion of revenue and advertising money from @tiktok.

When the social media app was on the rise they agreed to pay the labels a flat fee to license music in its users’ videos.

The social media app has started to profit from its popularity. It earned $4 billion in revenue last year and is on track for $12 billion in 2022, according to the research firm @emarketer

TikTok feels as though they shouldn’t have to pay more since they are technically not a streaming service.

The labels are arguing that it is a streaming service because:

- Their parent company @bytedance owns music streamer @resso.
- The company recently registered to trademarked a “TikTok Music” app.
- It’s @soundon feature allows artists to upload and earn royalties on their music
- They have began hiring people to sign and develop new artists.

Do you think TikTok should have to pay more money?🤔

G.O.O.D. Music boss Kanye West might have his head-scratching moments but you have to acknowledge the times he brings up some super valid points. The hip-hop superstar takes plenty of energy to properly explain why his eight-year-old daughter North West shouldn’t be on TikTok.

Kanye West’s going all-out over North West on TikTok

Kanye West isn’t done with DL Hughley

Ye didn’t stop there. He went the extra mile to completely go off on Hughely and even shared throwback footage of DL passing out during a performance.

“We gone stop letting practicing drug addicts be used by leftist to Willie Lynch our Future Black people with our own opinion are not allowed to speak in public I am the glitch DL God does not like you You have no favor Your family hates you I would hate to be related to somebody who used to be famous Now you just known as a broke pawn at least Oprah got billions “allegedly” Come on leftist Y’all gotta do better than DL This Ye Bring the real smoke baby Show your real face Charlemagne just don’t hit the same do he Who y’all gone get now God is with us and you send DL to be against us You’ve lost No brilliant Hebrew’s will bow to y’all no more Only dumb ass drug addict House niggas Don’t play me and don’t play with God Anybody related to DL call Chris McLean at adidas for yeezys They not free though We running a business over here He just getting ran You see Skete missing work Anybody else wanna play with me Please please please for the love of God come and get me Let’s see how it turns out”
