The Rolling Stones have joined TikTok, enabling content creators to use the band's iconic tracks in their video creations for the first time.

Users can create covers and remixes of hits such as Start Me Up, It’s Only Rock 'N Roll (But I Like It) and Miss You – all of which are now available on the TikTok Sounds Page.

The band’s frontman Mick Jagger will also launch a profile on the social media site, joining guitarist Keith Richards – who arrived on the platform last year.

Now reunited in the digital era, fans can follow both accounts as well as the band’s official channel, which will feature exclusive behind-the-scenes content from live shows, studio recording sessions and more.

Mick’s TikTok handle will be @jagger, while Richards’ is @officialkeef and the band’s is @TheRollingStones.

Prior to the official launch, TikTok said there had been high demand for access to The Rolling Stones and their catalogue on the platform.

The hashtags #TheRollingStones and #RollingStones have over 500 million views combined prior to the band’s onboarding, with creators paying homage to the group’s contribution to music through instrumental covers, "finish the lyric" challenges, Richards appreciation posts and their best Mick singing impressions.
