More than twenty years after its release, Troy resurfaces in the trending charts of 16 countries, and it owes it to a parody. The new Honest Trailers episode from Screen Junkies, 615,000 views on the counter, proves the resilience of a format many assumed…

Nearly a million views for a boys versus girls Minecraft challenge. You can smile at the concept, but Dagar perfectly illustrates the vitality of Spanish-speaking YouTube, one of the most underestimated audience pools on the entire platform. The Mexican…

Data recorded at time of publication
A piano, finely chiseled lyrics, and nearly 700,000 views. Keine Angst by Danger Dan sits atop the German trends, and this success deserves a pause, because it tells of a peculiarity of the German-speaking market few foreign observers suspect. The artist…

A trending chart shows fifty titles and one number each: a rank. Everything that would let you interpret that rank is missing — how fast the list moves, how long entries survive in it, whether they are shared with neighbouring countries, and whether the video…

The 19 August 2026 snapshot covers 72 national charts and 1,985 distinct videos. Of those, 1,537 appear in exactly one country — 77 per cent. Fewer than five videos in a hundred reach ten charts or more, and only four exceed 30 countries. That figure alone…

Two numbers describe a video's international standing, and they almost never point the same way. The first is reach: how many national charts it appears in on the same day. The second is volume: how many times it has been watched. In the snapshot of 19 August…

With 1,800 country-days recorded between 26 July and 19 August 2026, each carrying a turnover figure, it becomes possible to ask a question no single snapshot can answer: does the day of the week change how much a chart moves? It does, and consistently.…

Turnover — the share of a top 50 replaced from one day to the next — separates national charts more sharply than any other measure we collect. Over 25 daily snapshots taken between 26 July and 19 August 2026, the world average sits at roughly 42 per cent. Ten…

Between 26 July and 19 August 2026 we recorded 1,800 country-days: 72 national charts, measured every day, each time comparing the new top 50 with the previous one. That gives every country a turnover rate, meaning the share of its chart replaced overnight.…
