YouTube released its weekly music charts covering February 13 to 19, 2026 — the first full tracking period to capture the sustained echo of Bad Bunny's Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 9 — and the headline figure is unambiguous. "NO BATIDÃO" by ZXKAI and slxughter reached number one on the Global Weekly Top Songs chart with 40,123,740 views, simultaneously topping the Global Weekly Top Shorts Songs chart. The Brazilian phonk track displaced "Golden" by the KPop Demon Hunters Cast from the global songs number one position, ending a dominant run that began during the summer of 2025.

The charts span 13 territories and three chart types: Weekly Top Songs, Weekly Top Music Videos, and Weekly Top Shorts Songs. Together they offer the most granular available picture of YouTube music consumption across the second week of February 2026.

A dual number one — and what it means

Claiming both the main global songs chart and the global Shorts chart in the same week is technically distinct. The two charts measure different consumption formats: the main songs chart aggregates views across YouTube's platform and YouTube Music, while the Shorts chart reflects usage of tracks specifically within vertical short-form video. A track can top one without appearing near the other. "NO BATIDÃO" topped both simultaneously, in its 17th week on the main chart and its 16th on Shorts.

The track's geographic spread is equally notable. According to the Global Weekly Top Songs chart for February 13–19, 2026, it also reached number one in Germany with 983,066 views, number one in France at 1,211,047 views, number three in the Netherlands with 204,834 views, number nine in the United Kingdom with 607,797 views, number five in France, and number 20 in Spain with 490,167 views. No other song in this tracking week achieved simultaneous top-10 placement across that many European markets plus a global number one on both chart formats.

The displacement of "Golden" is significant. The KPop Demon Hunters Cast track held or contested the global number one position since the summer of 2025, driven by Netflix's animated film. Its drop to number two with 36,642,761 views in its 35th week does not indicate a collapse — 36 million weekly views remains a formidable number — but the transition marks a measurable shift in what is generating the highest aggregate global consumption on the platform.

Global songs top 10: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl aftershock

The full Global Weekly Top Songs chart for February 13–19, 2026 also carries clear evidence of what happened after Bad Bunny performed his all-Spanish halftime set on February 9, 2026, which drew 128.2 million viewers according to Nielsen measurements announced on February 10.

    1. NO BATIDÃO — ZXKAI & slxughter — 40,123,740 views (17 weeks)
    1. Golden — HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI & KPop Demon Hunters Cast — 36,642,761 views (35 weeks)
    1. Shararat — Shashwat Sachdev, Madhubanti Bagchi & Jasmine Sandlas — 35,364,192 views (10 weeks)

    1. DtMF — Bad Bunny — 26,266,436 views (23 weeks)
    1. Dil Lagana Mana Tha — Krish Mondal & Kishore Mondal — 25,906,017 views (4 weeks)

    1. Gehra Hua — Shashwat Sachdev, Arijit Singh, Irshad Kamil & Armaan Khan — 22,002,980 views (12 weeks)
    1. The Fate of Ophelia — Taylor Swift — 21,361,018 views (20 weeks)

Bad Bunny holds position five with "DtMF" at 26.26 million views. "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" sits at position 12 with 20,880,263 views. "NUEVAYoL" appears at position 19 with 17,432,934 views. Three Bad Bunny tracks in the global top 20 within days of the Super Bowl reflects exactly what PPC Land reported the week prior: the performance triggered renewed consumption of tracks spanning multiple album cycles rather than generating a single viral spike.

The global artists chart for the same period adds further context. Alka Yagnik leads all artists with 461,549,875 weekly views, followed by Bad Bunny at 357,635,776 and Udit Narayan at 341,124,334. The top three artist positions by aggregate views are occupied by two Indian playback singers and one Puerto Rican trap artist — a combination that illustrates the depth of YouTube's market fragmentation more vividly than any single track chart could.

Global Shorts top 10: slowed tracks and long tenures

On the Global Weekly Top Shorts Songs chart, "NO BATIDÃO" climbed from position two to number one in its 16th week. Eight of the ten chart positions are occupied by slowed, remixed, or phonk versions of tracks rather than original studio recordings — a consistent structural feature of the Shorts consumption format.

    1. NO BATIDÃO — ZXKAI & slxughter (16 weeks)
    1. Dil Lagana Mana Tha — Krish Mondal & Kishore Mondal (4 weeks)
    1. Cry For Me (WA WA WA) (feat. Bubi) — Ironmouse, shirobeats & HalaCG (6 weeks)
    1. PASSO BEM SOLTO (Slowed) — ATLXS (48 weeks)
    1. TIKI TIKI (Slowed) — QMIIR (4 weeks)

    1. Montagem Miau — Lenar (15 weeks)

    1. GOZALO (Ultra Slowed) — Ariis (8 weeks)
    1. VOCE NA MIRA (Slowed) — Hwungii & DJ VGK1 (8 weeks)

"PASSO BEM SOLTO (Slowed)" by ATLXS is now in its 48th week on the Shorts chart. "Friendships (feat. Leony)" by Pascal Letoublon has reached 65 weeks. These are not transient viral moments — they represent sustained, repeatable consumption tied to creator workflows where specific audio textures fit vertical video editing patterns better than standard recordings.

United States: Bad Bunny's catalog depth

The US chart for February 13–19 shows the halftime show's full commercial effect. "DtMF" retained the number one position with 5,757,441 views. "Tití Me Preguntó" held second with 4,767,837 views. "Golden" climbed to number three with 4,674,212 views — evidence that the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack maintained US relevance even as Bad Bunny's catalog surged around it.

    1. DtMF — Bad Bunny — 5,757,441 views
    1. Tití Me Preguntó — Bad Bunny — 4,767,837 views
    1. Golden — HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI & KPop Demon Hunters Cast — 4,674,212 views
    1. Ordinary — Alex Warren — 4,512,737 views
    1. Big Guy — Ice Spice — 4,224,584 views
    1. Zoo — Shakira — 4,146,174 views
    1. Choosin' Texas — ella langley — 3,733,444 views
    1. BAILE INoLVIDABLE — Bad Bunny — 3,655,040 views
    1. NUEVAYoL — Bad Bunny — 3,438,009 views
    1. Die With A Smile — Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars — 3,082,432 views

Four Bad Bunny tracks in the US top 10 in a single week, all from catalog rather than a new release, is unusual by any measure. "Die With A Smile" with Lady Gaga benefited from her own halftime guest appearance. Bruno Mars' "I Just Might," which debuted in January 2026 as his first solo single since the 24K Magic era, sits at position 18 with 1,678,366 views.

India: The scale of Bollywood on YouTube

The India chart demonstrates a fundamental asymmetry in global music consumption. The top entry, "Shararat" by Shashwat Sachdev, Madhubanti Bagchi and Jasmine Sandlas, generated 29,912,152 views in a single week — more than many artists achieve globally in a month. The India top 100 includes multiple tracks exceeding 8 million weekly views, numbers that would dominate US or European territory charts entirely.

    1. Shararat — Shashwat Sachdev, Madhubanti Bagchi & Jasmine Sandlas — 29,912,152 views
    1. Fortuner (feat. Gulshan Music & Jaat Nia) — Raj Mawar & Ruchika Jangid — 19,586,491 views
    1. Gehra Hua — Shashwat Sachdev, Arijit Singh, Irshad Kamil & Armaan Khan — 18,586,319 views
    1. Dil Lagana Mana Tha — Krish Mondal & Kishore Mondal — 17,889,432 views
    1. Pal Pal — Afusic & AliSoomroMusic — 16,069,854 views
    1. Teri Yaadon Ki Chadar Odhe — Janak Kumar — 13,880,683 views
    1. Aawaara Angaara — A. R. Rahman, Faheem Abdullah & Irshad Kamil — 12,146,311 views
    1. Sahiba — Aditya Rikhari — 8,781,628 views
    1. Lutt Le Gaya — Shashwat Sachdev & Simran Choudhary — 8,705,393 views
    1. Saiyaara — Tanishk Bagchi, Faheem Abdullah & Irshad Kamil — 8,658,054 views

No Western track appears in the India top 10. "NO BATIDÃO" appears at position 88 with 3,263,110 views — present, but not competitive against domestic content. Alka Yagnik's position atop the global artists chart with 461,549,875 weekly views is a direct product of this Indian market scale; her catalog of Bollywood playback singing generates consistent aggregate viewership that no Western act can match through YouTube's platform as currently structured.

Brazil: Funk carioca dominance

Brazil runs on a different rhythm entirely. "JETSKI" by PEDRO SAMPAIO, MC MENO K and Melody held the number one position with 17,715,119 views. The top four positions are all occupied by funk carioca tracks. "NO BATIDÃO" reached position 24 with 3,179,226 views. "DtMF" by Bad Bunny is at position 86 with 1,289,764 views — the platform's most dominant global artist that week made the Brazilian top 100 but not the top 20.

    1. JETSKI — PEDRO SAMPAIO, MC MENO K & Melody — 17,715,119 views
    1. Diário de um Cafajeste — Dj Oreia, MC Lele JP, MC Meno K, MC Ryan SP, MC Tuto & Mc Negão Original — 11,282,017 views

Germany: Carnival and cross-cultural currents

Germany presents a strikingly diverse chart. "NO BATIDÃO" climbed from position three to number one with 983,066 views. Turkish-language tracks from Blok3 appear throughout the top 50, reflecting Germany's large Turkish-heritage population. Carnival-season songs by Brings, Höhner and Druckluft entered around positions 60–65, reflecting the timing of Karneval in the Rhineland during the tracking period. "Karnevalsmaus" by Druckluft debuted in its second chart appearance with 671,023 views, landing at position six.

    1. NO BATIDÃO — ZXKAI & slxughter — 983,066 views
    1. Lush Life — Zara Larsson — 910,760 views
    1. Wackelkontakt — Oimara — 907,502 views
    1. Golden — HUNTR/X, EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI & KPop Demon Hunters Cast — 861,136 views
    1. Gute Laune — GroßstadtEngel — 744,395 views
    1. Karnevalsmaus — Druckluft — 671,023 views
    1. Renn! — AYLIVA — 658,179 views
    1. Zoo — Shakira — 621,746 views
    1. The Fate of Ophelia — Taylor Swift — 537,556 views
    1. UZI — LACAZETTE & Gzuz — 524,998 views

Zara Larsson's "Lush Life" holding second in Germany while simultaneously leading the UK chart at 1,522,119 views and the Netherlands at 257,518 views points to strong Northern European crossover performance for the track across multiple markets in the same week.

United Kingdom: Legacy catalog and new UK releases

The UK chart for February 13–19 was led by "Lush Life" by Zara Larsson in its 34th consecutive week at number one with 1,522,119 views. "Golden" climbed to second with 1,175,280 views in its 35th week. "Raindance" by Dave & Tems held fourth with 987,814 views in its 17th week — domestic UK content maintaining consistent presence near the top. "SLAUGHTER" by Central Cee & J Hus debuted at position 15 with 436,181 views, and "ICEMAN FREESTYLE" by Central Cee debuted at position 25 with 319,218 views.

    1. NO BATIDÃO — ZXKAI & slxughter — 607,797 views (15 weeks)
    1. Man I Need — Olivia Dean — 606,635 views (26 weeks)

"Ordinary" by Alex Warren is now in its 54th week on the UK chart — more than a full year of continuous charting, driven by YouTube's video archive dynamics where users return repeatedly to established content rather than exclusively following new releases.

France: GIMS holds court

France's chart remains its own ecosystem. GIMS occupies four simultaneous positions: "PARISIENNE" (with La Mano 1.9) at number one with 2,027,915 views in its 29th week, "SPA" at number six with 1,198,860 views, "NINAO" at number 15 with 883,901 views, and "APPELLE TA COPINE" at number 23. "NO BATIDÃO" climbed to number five with 1,211,047 views. Bad Bunny's "NUEVAYoL" sits at position 22 with 643,129 views and "DtMF" at position 26 with 610,083 views — the Super Bowl's impact reached France, but well below the domestic French-language content commanding the top positions.

Spain: Quevedo debuts at number one

Spain's chart shows a new number one: "NI BORRACHO" by Quevedo debuted with 1,511,525 views, displacing "Dardos" by Romeo Santos and Prince Royce to second at 1,374,426 views. Bad Bunny's "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" sits at number eight with 845,526 views in its 54th week — extraordinary longevity for a track now over a year into its chart run. "Golden" appears at number 10 with 833,861 views in its 34th week. "La Morocha" by Luck Ra and BM, now in its 67th week on the Spain chart, surpasses "Golden's" entire global chart run in weeks spent on a single territory chart.

Indonesia and Kenya: Local content walls

Indonesia's chart is anchored entirely by domestic pop and indie rock. "kota ini tak sama tanpamu" by Nadhif Basalamah led with 8,120,398 views. Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" appears at position 18 with 2,134,419 views — the highest-ranked Western entry. "NO BATIDÃO" entered at position 36 with 1,406,528 views in its seventh week, its first appearance near the upper half of the Indonesia chart.

Kenya's chart tells a different story. "Stima" by BURUKLYN BOYZ debuted at number one with 676,522 views. Prince Indah's catalog occupies positions 2, 18, 19, 51, 60, 68 and 74 simultaneously — an artist invisible on every other territory chart yet generating sustained multi-position dominance domestically. The highest-charting international entry is "Ordinary" by Alex Warren at position 38 with 222,740 views.

Japan: A sealed domestic market

Japan's chart has almost no international content in the top 30. "好きすぎて滅！" by M!LK claimed number one with 7,082,088 views, pushing Kenshi Yonezu's "IRIS OUT" to second at 6,680,960 views. M!LK's simultaneous hold on positions one and three — with combined views exceeding 11.4 million — illustrates the concentration dynamics of Japanese idol pop. Shakira's "Zoo" sits at position nine with 2,334,509 views, the sole broadly international track in the top 10. "NO BATIDÃO" appears at position 31 with 1,169,797 views.

Australia: A year on chart

Australia's chart most closely mirrors the UK in composition. "Ordinary" by Alex Warren led with 430,119 views in its 52nd week — a full year of continuous charting. "Golden" held second with 375,036 views and Taylor Swift's "The Fate of Ophelia" sat third at 355,445 views. "Lose Control (Live)" by Teddy Swims is now in its 120th week on the Australia chart. "NO BATIDÃO" entered the top 10 at position 10 with 207,422 views.

Portugal: Brazilian and Lusophone crossover

Portugal sits between Brazil and Western Europe in chart composition. "JETSKI" by Pedro Sampaio led with 673,137 views. Brazilian funk carioca dominated the top three positions. "Golden" appeared at number four with 265,450 views. "NO BATIDÃO" reached number six with 231,199 views — stronger placement than in most Latin European charts. Bad Bunny's "DtMF" dropped to position 10 with 179,512 views.

South Africa: Amapiano leads

South Africa's chart is dominated by local amapiano, maskandi and Afropop. "Umaqondana" by Feza led with 1,664,695 views in its 13th week. "Shela" by Sam Deep, Nia Pearl and Boohle held second with 1,488,710 views. International content is present but peripheral: "Big Guy" by Ice Spice appeared at position 25 with 484,710 views, and "Raindance" by Dave & Tems — a UK-Nigerian collaboration — sat at position seven with 959,581 views, performing better in South Africa than in most other non-UK territories.

What this means for the marketing community

The February 13–19, 2026 data arrives at a specific structural moment. YouTube withdrew its streaming data from Billboard charts on January 16, 2026, following a dispute over how the industry weights ad-supported versus subscription-based consumption. YouTube's charts are now the primary independent measurement infrastructure for the platform across more than 60 global markets.

Three dynamics compound simultaneously this week. "NO BATIDÃO" topping both the main global songs chart and the global Shorts chart in the same week demonstrates that the Shorts distribution mechanism can lift a track to the top of the main consumption rankings — not just the vertical video format rankings — given sufficient territorial breadth and weeks of sustained chart presence. The Bad Bunny Super Bowl effect confirms that a single live broadcast event moves catalog streams across multiple territories within days, with four tracks entering the US top 10 from existing catalog rather than new material. And the complete disconnection between India's top 10 and the US top 10 confirms what PPC Land has documented across multiple tracking periods: YouTube functions as a collection of distinct regional markets requiring genuinely separate strategies rather than localised adaptations of a single global campaign.

Timeline

Summary

Who: YouTube, artists including ZXKAI & slxughter (NO BATIDÃO), Bad Bunny, Shashwat Sachdev, the KPop Demon Hunters Cast, Nadhif Basalamah, PEDRO SAMPAIO, Feza, M!LK, GIMS, and Quevedo, along with audiences consuming music across 13 tracked territories.

What: YouTube's weekly music charts for February 13–19, 2026, covering Global, US, UK, India, Brazil, Germany, France, Spain, Indonesia, Kenya, Japan, Australia, Portugal, South Africa and Netherlands, plus the Global Top Artists, Global Top Music Videos, and Global Top Shorts Songs charts. The key development: "NO BATIDÃO" claimed number one on both the main global songs chart and the global Shorts chart simultaneously, displacing "Golden" from the top position it had held since summer 2025.

When: The tracking period ran from February 13 to February 19, 2026, covering the first full week following Bad Bunny's February 9, 2026 Super Bowl LX halftime show.

Where: YouTube's platform globally, with charts published as independent measurement systems since the platform's withdrawal from Billboard data sharing on January 16, 2026.

Why: The charts matter because they document in quantitative terms how a Brazilian phonk track can accumulate sufficient cross-border Shorts usage to overtake a Netflix-backed soundtrack on the main global songs chart, how a live broadcast event reshapes catalog streaming across multiple markets within days, and how India's Bollywood ecosystem generates view counts that structurally dominate the global artist rankings regardless of what is happening in Western markets.
