Top 50 videos·🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is undergoing rapid cultural transformation, with YouTube as a major driver. Arabic music, lifestyle vlogs, and Islamic content dominate the trends. With Vision 2030, new creators are emerging and diversifying the Saudi audiovisual landscape, particularly in Entertainment and Tech.
"Abdul Majeed Abdullah - Qedr Yensa | Lyrics Video 2026 | عبدالمجيد عبدالله - قدر ينسى" by Rotana leads the trending charts in Saudi Arabia with 367K views. 42 videos are trending in multiple countries. 50 different channels in the top 50.
How fast this chart renews itself
Over the last 7 days, the ranking in Saudi Arabia replaced an average of 62% of its entries every day, moving between 49% and 79% depending on the day. That is a chart that turns over faster than it settles, where roughly half the entries survive a second day. This figure comes from comparing our own daily snapshots: YouTube publishes the ranking of the moment, never how much of it survived since yesterday.
The chart carries about 49 entries a day, filled by 49 distinct channels, so almost every slot belongs to a different publisher. Concentration only appears when one channel places several videos at once, which is exactly what the ranking above lets you check.
The most resistant video of the week held on for 5 consecutive days: LISA - SaWaDiKa (Official Music Video). Survival time is a far better measure of a video's strength than the position it opened at, because it is the only one a launch budget cannot buy.
The sharpest climb belonged to Dile A Tu Gato Hoodtrap, up 16 places in a single day. A jump of that size in twenty-four hours almost always signals an audience arriving from outside YouTube rather than gradual discovery.

Reading a country ranking
This ranking lists the most popular videos in the selected country, in the official order published by YouTube and refreshed daily. Switch countries in the top bar and you will often see an entirely different list, even between neighboring countries sharing the same language.
Every country has its own logic
The gaps we observe between markets are considerable and remarkably stable over time. Japan lives in a near-closed ecosystem, where local productions occupy almost the entire top. India is dominated by film music, carried by channels with view volumes unmatched anywhere else. Brazil crowns its national creators well ahead of international productions. Spanish-speaking countries largely share their trends across borders thanks to the common language. Comparing two countries side by side is often more instructive than looking at an aggregated global top, which flattens precisely those singularities.
Filtering by category
A country's general ranking is almost always dominated by music and entertainment, that is structural. If you are after something else, the category filters give a far more useful reading: gaming surfaces local creators and regional competitive scenes, news reveals the subjects genuinely mobilizing a country at a given moment, and sport follows the competition calendar. These sub-rankings change face much faster than the general top, and that is often where trends can be spotted before they become massive.
