YouTube Trending Music chart

YouTube's own Trending Music chart for South Korea, United States, Japan, Spain, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico and Taiwan, exactly as YouTube publishes it and refreshed every hour. The site adds a link to every act and story it covers, and changes nothing else.

How to read this chart

  • The position is YouTube's. Rows are shown in YouTube's order and none is left out.
  • Views are the total YouTube reported at the time on the updated line, written out in full.
  • Where a row is an act the site covers, a link leads to its hub and to the newest story about it. Nothing else is added or changed.
  • A row marked audio is an art track: a song published as audio on an auto-generated channel, with no video frame.
  • Two toggles narrow the view: "Videos only" hides the art tracks, and "K-pop only" keeps the rows the site can tell are Korean music: an act it covers, an upload by a Korean label, a channel YouTube itself names in Korean, an act on its watchlist, or a Korean name in the title. Each row keeps the position YouTube gave it either way, and a toggle you turn on is remembered in this browser.
  • Movement and daily change are not shown, because the site keeps no history of the chart.
