The category split of the 50 videos above. This is the part of a trending chart worth reading strategically: it says how a market spends its attention, which does not change hour to hour the way the individual entries do.
PlayerSells reads the YouTube trending chart for Mexico directly from the YouTube Data API's mostPopular chart, last on 20 September 2026 at 23:49 UTC. It returns up to fifty videos and returned 50 for this market. YouTube builds one of these charts per country and there is no global list, which is why this page asks for a market before it shows anything.
The chart is not a view count ranking, and reading it as one is the single most common mistake made with it. YouTube ranks trending on view velocity, video age, where the views come from and how the video is doing against its own channel's recent uploads. That is why a video several days old with far more total views can sit below one that went up this morning. The views per hour column on this page is the closest proxy the public data supports, and it is left blank for anything under an hour old rather than divided by a fraction.
The median video on the Mexico chart is 31 hours old, and Gaming accounts for 20 of the 50 entries. Those two numbers, the median age and the category mix, are the parts of a trending chart that stay useful for more than an afternoon. They describe how fast a market's attention moves and what it spends attention on, which is a thing you can plan around. An individual charting video is a race that started before you saw it.
Chart data comes from the YouTube Data API v3 (videos.list, chart=mostPopular) and is cached for fifteen minutes, which is roughly how often YouTube itself rebuilds it. View, like and comment counts are the public numbers on the video page and are null rather than zero where an uploader hides them. PlayerSells is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.
Every market with a YouTube-built chart that we serve. Each one is a separate chart, not a filter on this one.
YouTube rebuilds its trending chart roughly every fifteen minutes and this page reads it on the same cycle. The exact minute the chart was read is printed above the list, so you can see how old the board in front of you is rather than trusting a badge.
Because the chart is not a view count leaderboard. YouTube ranks trending on how fast a video is gaining views, how new it is, where those views come from and how it performs against the channel's own recent uploads. A two-day-old video with ten million views can sit below a six-hour-old video with two hundred thousand, and the views per hour column on this page is the closest visible proxy for why.
YouTube builds a separate chart per market, and it is genuinely separate rather than a filter on one global list. Music dominates some markets and gaming or news dominates others, which the category mix under the board makes visible. There is no worldwide YouTube trending chart to show.
The video's view count divided by the hours since it was published. It is a rough measure of velocity and nothing more: views are not distributed evenly across a video's life, so a video that had a huge first hour and then flattened reads the same as one climbing steadily. It is shown because it is the only velocity signal the public chart data supports, and it is omitted for anything under an hour old.
Use it to read the shape of a market, not to copy a video. The useful signal is the category mix and the median age of what is charting: a chart full of six-hour-old news clips and a chart full of week-old music videos are telling you two different things about how fast that audience moves. Chasing an individual trending video is a race you enter after it has started.
