Methodology and editorial standards
TrendTube does not republish a ranking assembled by another publisher. We query the official YouTube API across 72 countries, archive each snapshot and compare the resulting positions.
Data collection
Synchronization runs daily. For every country, we retain rank, available view count, channel, category and collection time. The global ranking prioritizes the number of countries in which a video appears, then its average rank.
What we publish
Ranking pages expose the underlying data. Articles add editorial interpretation through country comparisons, multi-day trajectories, channel or franchise context, and an explanation of distribution mechanics.
Editorial review
Every article is reviewed before publication. Figures must come from the cited snapshot, missing values are never estimated, and outside context must be verifiable through reliable sources.
Corrections
Rankings can change after a new collection. Readers can report factual errors through the Contact page. We correct editorial copy without rewriting the historical snapshot.
