Leah Halton, an Australian model known as @looooooooch on TikTok, has gained massive popularity on the platform with over 7.5 million followers and 185.9 million likes. Her latest video, a 12-second clip of her lip-syncing to “Praise Jah in the Moonlight” by YG Marley, has the potential to break the record for the most liked video on TikTok. The video, which was first posted on Feb. 5, has already amassed an impressive 642.7 million views, 44.8 million likes, 1.5 million comments, and 4 million saves.
The video features Halton up close to the camera with her signature angle, then backs away while singing along and smiling. Many TikTok users have been commenting on the video about the number of likes it has received at the time of their view. The current record for the most liked video on TikTok is held by a 10-second clip of Bella Poarch lip-syncing to “M to the B” by Millie B, with 65.7 million likes. However, Halton’s video is quickly catching up in likes since its posting just two months ago.
A top 10 list by PopBuzz of the most liked videos on TikTok, last updated in 2024, shows that Halton’s video is rising in the ranks. Currently, Poarch’s video is at the top of the list, followed by Nick Luciano’s “Sugar Crush,” Jamie32bish dancing to Nelly Furtado’s “Say It Right,” Franek Bielak’s artwork, and Totouchanemu’s dancing to The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber’s “STAY.” Halton’s video has already surpassed Billie Eilish’s first video ever, which was the sixth most liked on the list with 40.9 million likes.
With the rapid circulation and increasing popularity of Halton’s video, there is a strong possibility that she will set a new record for the most liked video on TikTok. The engagement and interest in Halton’s content, along with the massive number of views and likes she has received, indicate that she is well on her way to breaking the current record. As the video continues to gain traction and reach more users on the platform, it is likely that Halton will achieve this milestone in the near future. Her success on TikTok highlights the power of social media in propelling individuals to fame and recognition in the digital age.
