Remember that viral video of the guy skateboarding down the street to Fleetwood Mac and sipping from a bottle of Ocean Spray Cran-Raspberry juice?

The video, which Nathan Apodaca posted on his “420doggface208” TikTok account in September, drew headlines after it led to Fleetwood Mac’s hit “Dreams” and the album “Rumors” topping the Billboard charts decades after they were released, Ocean Spray giving Apodaca a new pickup truck, Apodaca upgrading from an RV to a $320,000 home and even the creation of an official Halloween costume based on his outfit from the video.

Believe it or not, that was only the second biggest viral video of the year on TikTok. The social media platform shared rankings of its biggest videos, trends and stars of the year on Wednesday.

Vanessa Pappas, interim head of TikTok, said in a written statement that “the TikTok community helped us come together, bridge divides and find both lightness and poignancy when we needed it most.”

“It’s been an honor to watch these videos and creators grow and share what have become iconic, sometimes even life-changing, moments of 2020,” Pappas said.
