LISA's "Tarantino" lost 88.3% of its views in its second week on YouTube's global Top Songs chart, falling from No. 1 to No. 90 in the week ending November 5, 2026, according to the weekly chart files YouTube publishes. The song drew 8,363,753 views, down from 71,702,899 a week earlier, and dropped off 11 of the 14 national charts it had entered, among them the United States, the United Kingdom, India and Indonesia. Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai" returned to No. 1 with 40,661,971 views, its third spell at the top and its 22nd week there by PPC Land's count, even though its own total fell 7.5%. Two debuts finished close behind: "Tu Mil Jaaye", from the Shah Rukh Khan film "King", with Arijit Singh and Ed Sheeran, at No. 2 with 37,827,726 views, and Daddy Yankee and Diljit Dosanjh's "POKITO" at No. 3 with 36,123,561. The week also included Halloween. Michael Jackson's "Thriller" topped the US chart, and Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" returned to the global top 100.

In Short

LISA's new song was the most watched on YouTube worldwide one week and had fallen to No. 90 the next, after losing almost nine in ten of its views. Shakira's "Dai Dai" took the top spot back, while new songs from a Bollywood film, Daddy Yankee and JISOO entered high, and Halloween and Christmas songs returned in the US and UK. For brands that pay for music tie-ins, this week shows how little a big first week says about the audience that remains in week two.

What the files contain

Twenty CSV files dated November 5, 2026 form the basis of this analysis. Seventeen are weekly YouTube Charts Top Songs lists: the global ranking plus 16 national markets, namely Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and the United States. The other three are global charts of artists, music videos and songs used in Shorts. The set matches the one PPC Land used for the October 29 week, whose files serve as the comparison throughout. Fifteen-market comparisons leave out Türkiye.

The format is unchanged: songs and videos files list rank, previous rank, title, artists, periods on chart, weekly views, growth and a YouTube URL, while the Shorts file has 50 rows and no view counts. PPC Land treats each export as a Friday-to-Thursday week, which makes this the week of October 30 to November 5. Halloween, on Saturday, October 31, falls inside it.

Some caveats carry over from earlier weeks. The Growth column carries a percent sign but works as a decimal fraction: "Tarantino" shows -0.88%, while its raw totals imply a fall of 88.3%. All changes below are calculated from raw view totals. YouTube began counting a view from the moment playback starts on August 24, 2026, and the files do not mark the change. According to YouTube's help page on charts, paid advertising views do not count toward YouTube Charts, and the Top Songs ranking combines views of a song's official music video, user-generated content that uses the official song and lyric videos. The 16 national markets are a sample. Thailand, South Korea, Mexico and Puerto Rico, each relevant to at least one of this week's main stories, are not in it.

Tarantino's second week

"Tarantino" kept 11.7% of its debut audience and lost 63,339,146 weekly views. Its fall of 89 places is the largest on the chart.

LISA's previous single had set the benchmark. In September, "SaWaDiKa" fell from 154,951,658 views to 32,700,768 in its second week, a decline of 78.9%. Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" lost 45% in its second week in October, manifest's "TRALALA" lost 49%, and Olivia Rodrigo and Chappell Roan's "expectations" lost 66.2% a week ago. In its second week, "Tarantino" drew about a quarter (25.6%) of the views "SaWaDiKa" managed in its own.

The official music video fell further than the song. On the Top Music Videos chart it dropped from No. 1 to No. 89, from 67,819,861 views to 5,596,092, a decline of 91.7%. A week ago the video carried 94.6% of the song's chart views. Now it carries 66.9%.

The national files show how complete the retreat was. Last week "Tarantino" placed in 14 of the 16 markets and the national charts accounted for 63.8% of its global total. This week it appears in three:

  • Australia: No. 42 with 104,407 views, down from No. 1
  • Germany: No. 99 with 141,512, down from No. 1, a fall of 98 places and the largest on any national chart
  • Netherlands: No. 77 with 36,796, down from No. 1

Together those placings account for 282,715 views, or 3.4% of the global total. The song is gone from the United States, where it led with 7,158,279 views a week ago, from the UK, where it led with 2,429,334, from India, its largest visible market last week with 12,409,573 at No. 13, and from Indonesia, Brazil, France, Japan, Spain, Portugal, Türkiye and the Philippines.

"SaWaDiKa", now in its ninth period, also gave back last week's revival, falling 60.7% to 9,516,920 views and from No. 7 to No. 70, which still leaves it ahead of "Tarantino". "Sweat" has left the global top 100. LISA's two remaining entries drew 17,880,673 views between them, against 105,875,098 for three songs a week earlier, and she leaves the Top Artists chart, where she stood at No. 16 with 133,282,794 views. With the 100th artist this week on 52,073,707, her weekly total fell by at least 60.9%.

Early counts painted a different picture. Push Square reported 12 million views in less than eight hours, and InMusic reported 41.9 million YouTube views in the first 24 hours, the second-biggest music video debut of 2026 behind "SaWaDiKa". Neither outlet named a source, and the chart measures something different: a full week, with paid advertising views excluded.

The PlayStation tie-in

"Tarantino" was released with a consumer electronics campaign around it. PPC Land reported last week that, according to Maxim, a PlayStation commercial starring LISA used a preview of the song as its soundtrack, and that a limited-edition DualSense controller designed with her input was due on October 30.

The placement also runs inside the music video. According to Push Square, which published on October 23, a PlayStation reference appears towards the end of the video, where a fan presents LISA with her official DualSense design and she signs it. The outlet said the controller would ship later in October and that LISA x PlayStation merchandise was on sale through PlayStation Direct.

October 30 was the first day of the chart week in which "Tarantino" lost 88.3% of its views. The files carry no data on controller or merchandise sales, so they cannot measure the commercial outcome of the partnership. They do show the size of the YouTube audience still watching the song in the week the controller was due: 8.4 million views worldwide, of which the 16 national charts can place 3.4%.

Dai Dai's third run at No. 1

"Dai Dai" first took the global No. 1 in the week ending May 28, displacing "NO BATIDÃO", held it for 15 weeks until "SaWaDiKa" arrived, returned for six weeks through October 22 and then gave way to "Tarantino". This week makes 22 weeks at No. 1 in all, by PPC Land's count.

The return owes more to the weakness of the competition than to the song's own audience. Views fell 7.5%, from 43,944,645 to 40,661,971. That is fewer than in any of the six weeks "Dai Dai" spent at No. 1 between September 17 and October 22, a run in which its total fell from 70,651,536 to 44,641,123. Measured against the 117,818,800 weekly views PPC Land recorded in early August, the current figure is 65.5% lower, a comparison that crosses the August 24 change in view counting.

The top of the chart is unusually crowded. "Dai Dai" holds 3.0% of all views on the global top 100, against 5.2% for "Tarantino" a week ago. Its lead over No. 2 is 2,834,245 views, or 7.5%, and only 4,664,906 views separate it from "KALYANI (Remix)" by ARJN, KDS, FIFTY4 and Shreya Ghoshal at No. 4.

Nationally, "Dai Dai" takes back the two No. 1s it lost to "Tarantino" a week ago. In Germany it leads with 1,237,028 views, 136,652 ahead of AYLIVA's "Für immer". In the Netherlands it leads with 293,101, ahead of "POKITO". It is second in France and Kenya, third in the UK and Portugal and fourth in the United States, Spain and Australia. It appears on 11 of the 16 national charts, as many as any song this week, but has dropped off the Turkish chart. The 16 markets account for only 32.7% of its global total, with the United States the largest visible source at 3,044,516. On the artists chart, Shakira slips from No. 14 to No. 17, with views down 7.7%.

Two debuts behind the leader

Tu Mil Jaaye and the King soundtrack

"Tu Mil Jaaye", credited to Sachin-Jigar, Arijit Singh, Ed Sheeran, Madhubanti Bagchi and Kumaar, debuts at No. 2 with 37,827,726 views. The videos chart lists the upload as "Tu Mil Jaaye (From "KING")" at No. 3 with 31,064,970 views, 82.1% of the song's total.

According to Khaleej Times, the song was released on November 2, Shah Rukh Khan's 61st birthday, with music by Sachin-Jigar, vocals by Arijit Singh and Madhubanti Bagchi and lyrics by Kumaar, while Ed Sheeran contributes an English rap verse that he also wrote. Outlook India reported that the track went live at midnight. ThePrint described it as Sheeran's Bollywood debut. "King" is directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, according to Khaleej Times, and all three outlets give December 24, 2026 as its worldwide theatrical release date. The song therefore arrived about seven weeks before the film, and it had at most four days of the chart week.

India accounts for most of the audience the files can see. The song enters India's chart at No. 2 with 27,905,136 views, 73.8% of its global total, and misses No. 1 by 70,830 views. Elsewhere it reaches No. 8 in Australia (219,150 views), No. 15 in the UK (391,373), No. 54 in the Netherlands and No. 91 in Germany. Overall, 75.9% of its views are visible in the national files.

The early public figures and the chart do not line up neatly. ThePrint, citing Hindustan Times, reported more than 36.3 million YouTube views within 24 hours. The chart credits the video with 31,064,970 views and the song with 37,827,726 across the whole chart week. If the two counts measured the same thing, the song would have added only about 1.5 million views in the three days that followed. The files cannot resolve the difference. Khaleej Times said the video was released on YouTube through both Zee Music Company and T-Series, while the chart lists a single URL, and YouTube excludes paid advertising views from its charts. Neither the published figure nor the chart shows how many views fall into either category.

On the artists chart, Ed Sheeran climbs from No. 95 to No. 36, with views up 72.6%, Sachin-Jigar rise from No. 76 to No. 28 and Arijit Singh moves up to No. 2.

POKITO and YouTube's launch event for La Postal

Daddy Yankee and Diljit Dosanjh's "POKITO" debuts at No. 3 with 36,123,561 views. Its video enters the Top Music Videos chart at No. 1 with 34,701,932, which is 96.1% of the song's total, the highest official-video share in the global top ten.

According to t2online, the bilingual track, which blends Punjabi folk with reggaeton, was released with its music video on October 30, the first day of the chart week. Daddy Yankee takes the Spanish verses and Dosanjh the Punjabi ones. Latination reported the same day that "POKITO" is the lead single of "La Postal", a 15-track album that also features Myke Towers, Cardi B, Danny Ocean, Bizarrap and De La Rose.

YouTube took part in the launch. In a post dated November 3, the company said the album was available on YouTube Music with two new music videos and 13 visualizers, and announced a live event streamed only on YouTube: a 26-episode microdrama broadcast from San Juan, Puerto Rico, projected across the Cuartel de Ballajá and billed as a premiere event presented by Visa. The post also described pop-ups in Mexico City and New York City where fans could write physical and virtual postcards. YouTube's post names five collaborators and does not mention Bizarrap.

The song's national footprint is unusual for a Spanish and Punjabi recording. It leads the UK chart with 2,458,837 views, 1,077,321 ahead of Jamie Miller and Antonio Cipriano's "Babydoll", and the Australian chart with 1,286,118, 3.3 times the views of Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" in second. It is also No. 2 in the Netherlands, No. 4 in Germany, No. 5 in Spain, No. 6 in the United States with 2,483,403 views and No. 10 in Portugal. India is its largest visible market, at No. 14 with 11,763,616 views, or 32.6% of the global total. The song is absent from the Brazilian, French, Japanese, Indonesian, Kenyan, South African, Turkish and Philippine charts, and 55.9% of its views are visible. Puerto Rico and Mexico are outside the sample.

On the artists chart, Daddy Yankee climbs from No. 41 to No. 14 with 139,048,506 views, up 67.0%, and Diljit Dosanjh re-enters at No. 37 with 89,237,456, his 322nd period on the chart.

JISOO's ADDICTED

JISOO's "ADDICTED" debuts at No. 13 with 22,343,893 views, with its video at No. 6 on the videos chart (17,023,166 views, 76.2%). According to Sports Kyunghyang, the single was due at 8 a.m. on October 30, and the outlet described it as the second pre-release single from her first full-length album, following "Click" in September. The Herald Business, citing her agency, reported that the song reached No. 1 on the iTunes Worldwide Song chart and topped iTunes charts in 28 regions.

The song places on 11 of the 16 national charts, matching "Dai Dai": Australia, France, Germany, Indonesia, Japan, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Spain, Türkiye, the UK and the US. Its highest placing is No. 16 in Australia, and its largest visible total is in Indonesia, 2,051,371 views at No. 37. Even so, the national files account for just 30.3% of its views, a pattern PPC Land has noted for K-pop releases throughout the autumn, with South Korea outside the sample.

Halloween and Christmas in the same week

"Thriller" re-enters the global chart at No. 22 with 15,979,778 views, its 21st period. In the United States it climbs from No. 9 to No. 1, with views up 98.8% to 5,178,534, its 44th period on the US chart, and finishes 304,532 views ahead of "Choosin' Texas". It also climbs to No. 4 in the UK, from No. 19, and appears on six other national charts. The United States alone supplies 32.4% of the song's global views. Its official video returns to the videos chart at No. 70 with 6,202,844 views, which is 38.8% of the song's chart total, so most of its audience came through other versions of the recording.

"Thriller" was not alone on the US chart. Bobby "Boris" Pickett's "Monster Mash" re-enters at No. 12 with 1,973,799 views, "Somebody's Watching Me" climbs from No. 74 to No. 19 with 1,740,660, and Andrew Gold's "Spooky Scary Skeletons (Undead Tombstone Remix)" enters at No. 52 with 1,177,013. Those four songs account for 10,070,006 views, 7.2% of the US chart. In Japan, Junky's "Happy Halloween (feat. Rin Kagamine)" jumps from No. 96 to No. 25. On the Shorts chart, the "Spooky Scary Skeletons" remix rises from No. 33 to No. 16.

Christmas music is already back. Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" re-enters the global chart at No. 59 with 10,226,448 views, in its 75th period. It is No. 10 in the United States with 2,095,591 views, and it climbs from No. 64 to No. 11 in the UK and from No. 70 to No. 16 in the Netherlands, with further placings in Germany, Portugal, Australia, Spain and France. Wham!'s "Last Christmas" appears in the UK at No. 16, the Netherlands at No. 25, Germany at No. 32 and the US at No. 35, though not on the global top 100.

PPC Land has a reference point for where this curve ends. In the week ending December 25, 2025, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" ranked No. 2 globally with 57,130,536 views, behind "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters. This week's total is 17.9% of that figure, seven weeks before Christmas, in a comparison that crosses the August 24 change in view counting.

A third calendar song sits between the two holidays. Guns N' Roses' "November Rain" re-enters at No. 67 with 9,604,499 views, its sixth period on the chart. Only 3.5% of those views appear on the national charts, through Australia, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.

Games and films on the chart

For the third week running, a video game is a credited artist on the global songs chart, and this week there are two. "Suzuki (from GTAVI: The Album)" by Fuerza Regida, credited jointly to Grand Theft Auto VI, debuts at No. 81 with 8,799,950 views. Only the United States shows it among the 16 markets, at No. 55 with 1,088,942, in its second period there. Rockstar's music page lists "Suzuki" as track six of "Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album", a 34-track release marked "Coming November 19", and among nine singles already available. The same page lists a separate "Grand Theft Auto VI: Original Score" by Justice, with 30 tracks, due on December 11.

The second credited game is League of Legends, on K/DA's "FIRESTARTER", which falls from No. 15 to No. 42 with views down 34.5% to 12,425,411. PPC Land reported last week that K/DA was scheduled to perform at the Worlds 2026 Opening Ceremony in New York on November 14.

Film soundtracks are also present. "Judi Jodi (From "Ramayana")" by A.R. Rahman, Shreya Ghoshal and Kumar Vishwas debuts at No. 44 with 12,074,728 views, 89.5% of them on India's chart, where it climbs from No. 64 to No. 16 with 10,810,238. According to Outlook India, the song was released for the Karwa Chauth festival in five language versions, with Shreya Ghoshal singing the Hindi one, and the first part of "Ramayana" was due in cinemas worldwide on November 5, 2026, the last day of this chart week. The film's other songs have faded. "Mangal Rang", No. 23 globally a week ago, has left the global chart and falls from No. 11 to No. 52 in India, with views down 59.6%.

K-pop second weeks

Last week's K-pop debuts went in different directions in week two, alongside the K/DA fall noted above:

  • ILLIT, "체포하겠어", climbs from No. 12 to No. 9, with views up 22.8% to 23,694,267. It rises to No. 5 in Japan with 4,241,906 views.
  • ATEEZ, "Drip", falls from No. 33 to No. 91, down 41.3% to 8,289,997.
  • BABYMONSTER, "DESERVE", falls from No. 19 to No. 86, down 52.8% to 8,424,999. BABYMONSTER leaves the artists chart.

A2O LITE and A2O's "NEON", in its third week, falls from No. 9 to No. 15 with views down 21.6% to 18,589,330. Japan, Indonesia and Australia remain its only national placings, and they account for 17.6% of its total.

Where the global chart's views come from

PPC Land repeated the coverage measure from previous weeks: for each global song, the views on all 16 national charts that list the same YouTube URL, divided by its global views. It is a lower bound, since a song's views in a market where it ranks below 100th are not counted, and markets outside the sample are invisible.

  • Across the global top 100, the 16 national charts account for 701,330,755 of 1,371,255,651 views, or 51.1%, against 52.5% a week earlier. Without Türkiye, the figure is 47.5%, down from 48.6%.
  • The median song has 45.3% of its global views visible, against 46.0%. Without Türkiye, the median falls to 32.7%, from 38.7%.
  • Thirty-eight songs have 80% or more of their views accounted for, up from 34. Eighteen have less than 10%, up from 14.
  • Seven songs, worth 86,001,271 views, appear on none of the 16 national charts, against five a week earlier.

The seven include Xamdam's "Пешта" (Peshta), at No. 8 with 24,191,686 views, GAVIN:D's Thai-language "อย่ามากกว่าฉันก็พอ (Jealous)" at No. 33 and four Spanish-language songs, among them Bad Bunny's "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" and Grupo Frontera and Grupo Firme's "EL AMOR DE SU VIDA". Fede Vigevani and Club Misterio's "BACKROOMS" climbs to No. 14 with 18,721,254 views, of which a single Spanish placing accounts for 1.9%.

India's weight on the global chart grew. Thirty-five songs now draw more than half their global views from India's chart, together 513,595,529 views or 37.5% of the top 100, against 34 songs and 33.9% a week ago. Satinder Sartaaj's "गुज़ारिश", listed as "Guzarish" on the videos chart, has the largest percentage gain of any returning song: up 48.8% to 28,263,770 views, moving from No. 14 to No. 7. Hamza Malik and Zain Zohaib's "Alfaaz" rises 27.6% to No. 6.

The national charts and the global chart moved in opposite directions. Combined views across the 16 markets rose 4.1% to 2,103,656,952, and across the 15 long-running markets 5.0% to 1,898,730,113, while the global top 100 fell 1.4%. Portugal's chart grew 15.4%, Brazil's 10.9% to 289,131,065 and Kenya's 10.4%. India's rose 7.5% to 755,963,090, lifting its share of the 15-market total to 39.8% from 38.9%. The largest falls came in the four European markets where "Tarantino" was first or second a week ago: France down 15.1%, the Netherlands 13.0%, the UK 9.6% and Germany 9.5%. A week earlier the UK and Dutch charts had grown 18.8% and 18.3%. The US chart fell 2.6% and the Turkish chart 3.2%.

National leaders

Fourteen different songs lead the 16 national charts, up from 12, and 13 lead the 15 long-running markets. Nine markets changed leader:

  • United Kingdom and Australia: "POKITO", as above.
  • Germany and the Netherlands: "Dai Dai", as above.
  • United States: "Thriller", as above.
  • Japan: M!LK's "ザッツ!超常" moves up to No. 1 in its second week with 7,453,562 views, 675,559 ahead of last week's leader, the EBiDAN collaboration "Yes! 東京".
  • Portugal: Plutonio's "Graças a Deus" debuts at No. 1 with 474,428 views, ahead of his own "Isaltino", which led a week ago.
  • Indonesia: Gloria Jessica Gultom and Ade Govinda's "Terbelah Jadi Dua" climbs from No. 3 to No. 1 with 7,999,917 views, 281,416 ahead of Tulus's "Teh Hijau".
  • Türkiye: Mabel Matiz's "Umrumdışı" moves up to No. 1 with 9,125,408 views, ending manifest's three weeks at the top.

Seven leaders are unchanged. "KALYANI (Remix)" holds India with 27,975,966 views in its 38th period, by the 70,830-view margin over "Tu Mil Jaaye" noted above. In Brazil, Felipe e Rodrigo's live recording keeps No. 1 with 16,083,782 views, though the file now titles it "Aftermath (Live)" rather than "Pós (Ao Vivo)". KAROL G's "BbY WOW" with Judeline and rusowsky holds Spain by 32,803 views over Quevedo and Elvis Crespo's "LA GRACIOSA", and Vacra and La Rvfleuze's "Fille à Papa" holds France by 334,542 over "Dai Dai". Bien's "I'll Be Okay" leads Kenya for a fourth week despite a 21.1% fall, "Nayvee's Prayer" by DJ Zinhle, Nayvee Womculo and Young Stunna leads South Africa with views up 13.7% to 3,957,012, and Mariah Deborah's "Na Para Bang" leads the Philippines with 8,601,779.

National charts remain overwhelmingly local. The 1,500 positions in the 15 long-running files are filled by 1,124 distinct recordings, and 972 of them, or 86.5%, appear in only one market, against 85.6% a week ago. "Dai Dai" is the most widespread, in 11 of the 15, followed by ILLIT's song and "ADDICTED" in 10 each.

TRALALA loses Türkiye

In Türkiye, "TRALALA" slips to No. 2 with 8,804,169 views, down 24.8%, after three weeks at No. 1. Globally the song falls from No. 40 to No. 60 with 10,221,114 views, down 24.2%, and Türkiye now supplies 86.1% of them. Aykut Aksöz's "Yüreğime mi Sorsam?" is third in Türkiye and climbs from No. 78 to No. 73 globally.

Five songs on the global chart now draw more than half their views from Türkiye, together 51,117,405 views or 3.7% of the top 100, against six songs and 5.1% a week earlier. The Turkish chart fell 3.2% to 204,926,839 views, 9.7% of the 16-market total.

Shorts

ATLXS's "PASSO BEM SOLTO (Slowed)" leads the Top Shorts Songs chart in its 85th period. WUYS and KIT's "MONTAGEM ZORA" jumps from No. 11 to No. 2 in its second period, and Falguni Pathak's "Aayee Pardes Se" from No. 22 to No. 3. "BAILA LENTO" by sma$her and MC DA$ILVA slips to No. 4.

Ten songs enter or re-enter, nine of them in their first period, and "TRALALA" drops out. Ten of the 50 Shorts entries also appear on the global songs top 100, down from 14 a week ago, and "गुज़ारिश" climbs from No. 18 to No. 7. None of the week's four biggest stories, "Tarantino", "Tu Mil Jaaye", "POKITO" or "ADDICTED", appears on the Shorts chart, and "BbY WOW" drops off it.

Data quality notes

The November 5 files repeat several known problems and add some new ones:

  • Missing URLs: on India's chart, "Bahut Jatate Ho Chah Humse" by Alka Yagnik and Mohammad Aziz still has "n/a" in place of a URL. Kenya's No. 89, "Malebo", has no URL, a leading space before its title and "n/a" for growth in its 13th period. On the Shorts chart, "VERITY HARDTEKK (Super Slowed)" lacks a URL for a fourth week, and the new entry "Khalouni N3ich (Extended Mix)" has none either.
  • One URL, new identity: the Ramayana upload India's chart listed a week ago as "Ramayana: Jatha Goode (Song)", credited to the Italian band Lacuna Coil, is now "Judi Jodi (From "Ramayana")", credited to A.R. Rahman, Shreya Ghoshal and Kumar Vishwas. A new upload, "Ramayana: Shree Hanuman Chalisa", enters India's chart at No. 71, again credited to Lacuna Coil. Last week's "Ravana Tandavam (Tamil)" is now "Ravana Tandava (Kannada)" under the same URL. Felipe e Rodrigo's "Pós (Ao Vivo)" becomes "Aftermath (Live)" on the global, Brazilian and Portuguese charts but keeps its title on the videos chart.
  • GTA VI labels: on the six national charts where it still places, "Flower In A Hurricane [from GTAVI]" is now titled "[From GTAVI: Original Score]", although Rockstar's music page lists the track among the singles from "Grand Theft Auto VI: The Album" and describes the Original Score as a separate Justice release.
  • Period counts: Eminem and Rihanna's "Love The Way You Lie" enters the global chart at No. 95 in its first period, while it is in its 43rd period in Australia, 37th in the UK and 21st in the US.
  • Changed URLs behind previous ranks: six national rows carry a Previous Rank that points to a different URL, down from 14. In the Netherlands, "Osso" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" both claim a previous rank of 85.
  • Credits: the US and UK charts credit "Somebody's Watching Me" to "Rockwell's", India's "Irumudi Kattu" credit contains an empty name between two ampersands, and on the artists chart "B. Praak" becomes "B Praak" and is listed as a new entry. Trailing and double spaces persist in several titles and credits.

Why it matters for marketers

YouTube's charts have been the company's main public record of music consumption since it stopped supplying data to Billboard in January 2026. Brands, agencies and media buyers use them to choose music for campaigns, gauge an artist's reach and judge where an audience sits.

This week tests the value of a debut. "Tarantino" arrived with a PlayStation commercial, a co-designed controller and a placement inside the video itself. A sponsor judging the deal on week one would have seen 71.7 million views and 14 national charts; a week later the files showed 8.4 million views and three.

The songs that replaced it show who now markets music on YouTube. A film studio released a song from "King" seven weeks before the film, four "Ramayana" songs sat on India's chart in the week the film was due in cinemas, and Rockstar has had Grand Theft Auto VI music on the global chart in two of the past three weeks, ahead of an album due on November 19. YouTube itself staged the launch of Daddy Yankee's album with a live event presented by Visa, and the lead single led the UK and Australian charts in its first week. The chart does not distinguish a marketing asset from a label single.

The calendar matters as well. Halloween songs drew 7.2% of US chart views, and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" returned seven weeks before Christmas at about 18% of its level in the last week of December 2025. Seasonal catalogue music, much of it with long chart tenure, takes positions in predictable weeks of the year.

Two measurement limits remain. The 24-hour totals reported in the press for "Tarantino" and "Tu Mil Jaaye" come from public counters and unnamed sources, while the charts exclude paid advertising views and the files do not say how many were excluded or which uploads were combined. And seven songs worth 86 million views appear on none of the 16 national charts, and the markets most likely to matter for K-pop, for Mexican and Puerto Rican music and for a Thai artist's single are not in the sample.

Other movements

The global chart had nine debuts and 14 re-entries, against 14 and 13 a week earlier, and 23 songs left it, among them Harry Styles' "Sign of the Times" and "Coming Up Roses", "ICONIC BY MISTAKE" by LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT and KATSEYE, "expectations" and "Kaali Hoodie". Re-entries include PSY's "Gangnam Style" at No. 51 in its 98th period and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" at No. 85.

The largest climb was by Ashe's "Stop The Wedding!", up 20 places to No. 36 with views up 26.3%, followed by The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears", up 14 to No. 23 in its 74th period. Behind "Tarantino", "DESERVE", "SaWaDiKa" and "Drip", the biggest fall was Tate McRae's "Housewife", down 31 places to No. 57 with views down 33.8%.

The 100th song on the global chart needed 7,838,382 views, up from 7,517,522. The videos top 100 drew 882,959,620 views, down 1.9%. Across the 59 songs whose URL also appears on the videos chart, the median official-video share was 70.3%, against 73.5% across 64 songs a week earlier. The artists chart rose 2.2% to 9,765,164,528 views, with Alka Yagnik first on 488,867,169, ahead of Arijit Singh, Udit Narayan, Shreya Ghoshal and Kumar Sanu. On the national charts, the largest climb was Sido and Fler's "PROPAGANDA" in Germany, up 79 places to No. 3.

Timeline

Summary

Who: YouTube, which publishes the weekly chart files and staged a launch event for Daddy Yankee's album; LISA, whose "Tarantino" fell from No. 1 to No. 90; Shakira and Burna Boy, whose "Dai Dai" returned to No. 1; Sachin-Jigar, Arijit Singh, Ed Sheeran and the makers of "King"; Daddy Yankee and Diljit Dosanjh; JISOO; Sony's PlayStation, Visa and Rockstar Games, whose campaigns and releases touched the chart; and the marketers who use YouTube's music data.

What: "Tarantino" lost 88.3% of its views in its second week, from 71,702,899 to 8,363,753, and dropped off 11 of the 14 national charts it had entered, a steeper fall than the 78.9% "SaWaDiKa" recorded in September. "Dai Dai" returned to No. 1 with 40,661,971 views, ahead of debuts by "Tu Mil Jaaye" and "POKITO". Halloween songs took 7.2% of US chart views, with "Thriller" at No. 1, and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" re-entered the global chart.

When: The chart week ending November 5, 2026, which PPC Land reads as October 30 to November 5, compared with the week ending October 29 and earlier weeks documented by PPC Land.

Where: YouTube worldwide, with national detail for Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kenya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Türkiye, the UK and the US. Thailand, South Korea, Mexico and Puerto Rico are not in the set.

Why: The collapse of a No. 1 debut that carried a consumer electronics partnership shows how poorly week-one numbers predict the audience a sponsor reaches later. This week's chart was also shaped by film studios, game publishers, YouTube's own launch events and the seasonal calendar, while the files cannot be reconciled with the 24-hour figures circulated in the press and leave much of the audience for the biggest releases outside the 16 markets they cover.
