Based on app-store charts in the west, Chinese social-music app TikTok is picking up a fine head of steam, following its merger with Musical.ly earlier this year.
Now there is more data on that from tech site The Verge, which claims that TikTok now has six million monthly active users in the US alone, where it’s recently spent time at the very top of Apple’s free-apps chart.
