The data shown here comes from the publicly available YouTube Data API and is collected daily at 6am. Supplied Music categories can be inaccurate; documented corrections exclude known non-music channels.
We include records from July 24, 2025 onward. YouTube changed how it populates its charts that month, making earlier records unsuitable for direct comparison.
Some daily charts are missing or have fewer than 100 entries, which can reduce measured reach. Channels without a recorded or researched origin appear as Unknown origin.
Channel origin describes an artist or group's origin, or a channel operator's base. Reach counts recorded charts worldwide. We apply researched corrections for resolved cases. Older recorded origins may be unverified, and unresolved reviews apply no correction. Reviewed curators publishing music by unrelated artists are marked Shared catalog rather than assigned a country.
Shared catalogs keep their worldwide reach scores outside individual country totals. Label channels retain their publisher's country affiliation.
This report uses Oct 1, 2025 – Oct 31, 2025. Data snapshot: Nov 10, 2026. Its calendar window remains fixed; later source
snapshots can revise metadata or observations. The data snapshot identifies
the collection used for this report. Video links show full-collection reach
totals; each daily chart uses its own bounded history window.
Only videos identified as Music (category 10) after documented channel-category corrections are
included. Filtering does not renumber original chart positions. Publication
dates describe the video's recorded publication, not a song's original
release, and do not determine which month a video appears in.
Excluded from the music ranking: 40,489 observed videos in other
categories and 0 with unknown category or missing video
metadata. Shared catalog and unknown channel origins remain eligible.
Reach ties use observed appearance days, then video ID. Weighted-reach ties
use reach, observed appearance days, then video ID.
Every date in this month has at least one recorded chart; coverage by country or territory can still be partial.
487 recorded charts contained fewer than 100 entries. Missing charts
are not filled with repeated observations or zeros. Collection can skip
unchanged charts, and chart absence does not establish an absence of viewers.
Titles and publication dates come from the latest supplied metadata.
Channel-origin evidence and researched corrections remain available in each
video's details.
