I'm having this weird tingling sensation at the top of my spine. any ideas what it is?

May be spinal cord: When there is a problem with the spinal cord in the neck which affects the posterior columns, an irritable phenomenon called lhermitte's might occur. This is a nonspecific sign of several problems, so if this gets more persistent and your arms and/or legs get numb or weak, best to get this evaluated.

Apologies because I know this is not exactly clinical but I felt a pop in my head, almost like a twig snapping, followed by a tingling sensation like pop rocks or sand in my mouth that went away after a moment. Any ideas? No pain from it but scary.
