Introduction

YouTube Statistics: YouTube dominates the digital landscape with 2.70 billion monthly active users among the world population in mid-2025, making it the second-largest search engine after Google and the second social platform, following Facebook, across the world.

People watch more than 1 billion hours of video on YouTube, that’s a million years of attention span. With over 20 million new videos uploaded to the platform every day, the YouTube content ecosystem is practically endless. Short-form video lovers have not been ignored.

With an astonishing 70 billion views a day on YouTube shorts, these viewers are generating a new level of interactions and engagement across the platform. Of course, mobile dominates; 63% of watch time happens on mobile devices. With over 100 million subscribers to YouTube Premium and YouTube Music, in addition to free, YouTube is indeed a premium entertainment platform.

YouTube was created in 2005, with the first video – Me at the Zoo - being uploaded on 23 April 2005. Since then, 1.3 billion people have set up YouTube accounts. In 2018, people watch nearly 5 billion videos each day. People upload 300 hours of video to the site every minute.

According to 2016 research undertaken by Pexeso, music only accounts for 4.3% of YouTube’s content. Yet it makes 11% of the views. Clearly, an awful lot of people watch a comparatively small number of music videos. It should be no surprise, therefore, that the most watched videos of all time on YouTube are predominantly music videos.

On August 13, BTS became the most-viewed artist in YouTube history, accumulating over 26.7 billion views across all their official channels. This count includes all music videos and dance practice videos.

Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeran now hold the records for second and third-highest views, with over 26 billion views each.

Currently, BTS’s most viewed videos are their music videos for “**Boy With Luv**,” “**Dynamite**,” and “**DNA**,” which all have over 1.4 billion views.

This dataset is a daily record of the top trending YouTube videos and it will be updated daily.

Context

YouTube maintains a list of the top trending videos on the platform. According to Variety magazine, “To determine the year’s top-trending videos, YouTube uses a combination of factors including measuring users interactions (number of views, shares, comments and likes). Note that they’re not the most-viewed videos overall for the calendar year”.

Note that this dataset is a structurally improved version of this dataset.

Data is included for the IN, US, GB, DE, CA, FR, RU, BR, MX, KR, and JP regions (India, USA, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, France, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, and, Japan respectively), with up to 200 listed trending videos per day.

Each region’s data is in a separate file. Data includes the video title, channel title, publish time, tags, views, likes and dislikes, description, and comment count.

The data also includes a category_id field, which varies between regions. To retrieve the categories for a specific video, find it in the associated JSON. One such file is included for each of the 11 regions in the dataset.

This is the statistics for the Top 10 songs of various spotify artists and their YouTube videos. The Creators above generated the data and uploaded it to Kaggle on February 6-7 2023. The license to use this data is "CC0: Public Domain", allowing the data to be copied, modified, distributed, and worked on without having to ask permission. The data is in numerical and textual CSV format as attached. This dataset contains the statistics and attributes of the top 10 songs of various artists in the world. As described by the creators above, it includes 26 variables for each of the songs collected from spotify. These variables are briefly described next:

Track: name of the song, as visible on the Spotify platform. Artist: name of the artist. Url_spotify: the Url of the artist. Album: the album in wich the song is contained on Spotify. Album_type: indicates if the song is relesead on Spotify as a single or contained in an album. Uri: a spotify link used to find the song through the API. Danceability: describes how suitable a track is for dancing based on a combination of musical elements including tempo, rhythm stability, beat strength, and overall regularity. A value of 0.0 is least danceable and 1.0 is most danceable. Energy: is a measure from 0.0 to 1.0 and represents a perceptual measure of intensity and activity. Typically, energetic tracks feel fast, loud, and noisy. For example, death metal has high energy, while a Bach prelude scores low on the scale. Perceptual features contributing to this attribute include dynamic range, perceived loudness, timbre, onset rate, and general entropy. Key: the key the track is in. Integers map to pitches using standard Pitch Class notation. E.g. 0 = C, 1 = C♯/D♭, 2 = D, and so on. If no key was detected, the value is -1. Loudness: the overall loudness of a track in decibels (dB). Loudness values are averaged across the entire track and are useful for comparing relative loudness of tracks. Loudness is the quality of a sound that is the primary psychological correlate of physical strength (amplitude). Values typically range between -60 and 0 db. Speechiness: detects the presence of spoken words in a track. The more exclusively speech-like the recording (e.g. talk show, audio book, poetry), the closer to 1.0 the attribute value. Values above 0.66 describe tracks that are probably made entirely of spoken words. Values between 0.33 and 0.66 describe tracks that may contain both music and speech, either in sections or layered, including such cases as rap music. Values below 0.33 most likely represent music and other non-speech-like tracks. Acousticness: a confidence measure from 0.0 to 1.0 of whether the track is acoustic. 1.0 represents high confidence the track is acoustic. Instrumentalness: predicts whether a track contains no vocals. "Ooh" and "aah" sounds are treated as instrumental in this context. Rap or spoken word tracks are clearly "vocal". The closer the instrumentalness value is to 1.0, the greater likelihood the track contains no vocal content. Values above 0.5 are intended to represent instrumental tracks, but confidence is higher as the value approaches 1.0. Liveness: detects the presence of an audience in the recording. Higher liveness values represent an increased probability that the track was performed live. A value above 0.8 provides strong likelihood that the track is live. Valence: a measure from 0.0 to 1.0 describing the musical positiveness conveyed by a track. Tracks with high valence sound more positive (e.g. happy, cheerful, euphoric), while tracks with low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry). Tempo: the overall estimated tempo of a track in beats per minute (BPM). In musical terminology, tempo is the speed or pace of a given piece and derives directly from the average beat duration. Duration_ms: the duration of the track in milliseconds. Stream: number of streams of the song on Spotify. Url_youtube: url of the video linked to the song on Youtube, if it have any. Title: title of the videoclip on youtube. Channel: name of the channel that have published the video. Views: number of views. Likes: number of likes. Comments: number of comments. Description: description of the video on Youtube. Licensed: Indicates whether the video represents licensed content, which means that the content was uploaded to a channel linked to a YouTube content partner and then claimed by that partner. official_video: boolean value that indicates if the video found is the official video of the song. The data was last updated on February 7, 2023.
