How these music lists are made

This list has 24 songs from 24 channels with 21.4M views in total; the average music video is 5:09 long.

All numbers come straight from the YouTube Data API and are refreshed once a day. Hourly growth is our own estimate: views gained since the previous day’s count, divided by the hours that passed.

Videos and music come from YouTube’s own trending charts (one general chart and one music chart per country). Shorts, live streams and news channels are left out, and each channel appears only once per list.
