Satinder Sartaaj's Guzarish wins YouTube's No. 1 two months after release

Satinder Sartaaj's Punjabi song "Guzarish" finished No. 1 on YouTube's global Top Songs chart in the week ending November 12, 2026, according to the weekly chart files YouTube publishes, about two months after its video premiered. The song drew 42,613,776 views, up 50.8% from 28,263,770 a week earlier, and climbed from No. 7. India's chart supplied 32,326,244 of those views, or 75.9%, in a week that contained Diwali on November 8 and the first full week in cinemas of the film "Ramayana". Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai" slipped to No. 2 with 38,913,197 views after a single week back on top, although its official video still leads YouTube's music videos chart. Last week's big debuts lost ground fast: Daddy Yankee and Diljit Dosanjh's "POKITO" shed 69.8% of its views and fell from No. 3 to No. 64. In the UK and the US, Christmas songs took the chart space Halloween songs held a week earlier, led by Olivia Rodrigo's first Christmas single and Sam Fender's cover for the John Lewis Christmas advert.

In Short

A Punjabi love song released in mid-September became the most watched song on YouTube worldwide, pushing Shakira's "Dai Dai" into second place. Three-quarters of its views came from India during Diwali week, while last week's heavily launched debuts from Daddy Yankee, the "King" soundtrack and JISOO lost a large part of their audience. For anyone buying music or YouTube reach, this week's chart shows a slow climb in one large market beating a promoted debut, and the holiday calendar taking over the UK and US charts.

What the files contain

Twenty CSV files dated November 12, 2026 underpin 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 is the same one PPC Land used for the November 5 week, whose files are the comparison throughout. Fifteen-market comparisons leave out Türkiye, which joined the set in October.

The songs and videos files list rank, previous rank, title, artists, periods on chart, weekly views, growth and a YouTube URL. The Shorts file has 50 rows and no view counts. PPC Land reads each export as a Friday-to-Thursday week, which makes this the week of November 6 to November 12.

Known caveats carry over. The Growth column carries a percent sign but behaves as a decimal fraction: "Guzarish" shows 0.51%, while its raw totals imply a rise of 50.8%, so every change below is 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. The 16 national markets are a sample: Pakistan, South Korea, Thailand, Mexico and Puerto Rico, each relevant to at least one song discussed below, are not in it.

How the ranking is built

YouTube's help page on charts and the file layout describe the mechanics PPC Land relies on in five steps:

1. The chart week. Each file covers one week of viewing. PPC Land treats the November 12 files as the week from Friday, November 6 to Thursday, November 12.
2. What counts toward a song. According to YouTube, the Top Songs ranking combines views of a song's official music video, user-generated content that uses the official song, and lyric videos.
3. What is excluded. According to the same page, paid advertising views do not count toward YouTube Charts.
4. The separate video chart. The Top Music Videos chart ranks individual uploads, so a song's official video can sit lower there than the song does on the songs chart. The Shorts songs chart ranks songs used in Shorts and publishes no view counts.
5. PPC Land's coverage measure. For each global song, PPC Land adds up the views on all 16 national charts that list the same YouTube URL and divides by the song's global views. Songs without a URL are matched by title and artist. The figure is a lower bound, since a song's views in a market where it ranks below 100th, or in a market outside the sample, are not counted.

Guzarish's climb

"Guzarish" did not arrive at the top. It walked there. The files PPC Land has kept since October show four consecutive weekly increases in its global total:

Since mid-October the song's weekly global audience has nearly tripled (2.96 times), and its India total has more than quadrupled (4.30 times), most of that in the past two weeks. The global file a week before the first row above placed it at No. 19, and this week's file lists it in its seventh period on the global chart. Its lead over "Dai Dai" is 3,700,579 views, or 9.5%, and it holds 3.0% of all views on the global top 100.

According to the video's YouTube page, "Guzarish" premiered on September 16, 2026, on T-Series, and is described as a Punjabi song. The same page credits Sartaaj as lyricist, composer and singer, Goldie Sohel with music production and arrangement, and Sandeep Sharma as video director. It names no film or album. The lyrics site LyricsRaag gives September 17 as the release date. Either way, the song reached No. 1 about eight weeks after it came out.

India accounts for almost everything the files can see. The song leads India's chart with 32,326,244 views, 2,465,154 ahead of "KALYANI (Remix)" by ARJN, KDS, FIFTY4 and Shreya Ghoshal, which had led India in every week of PPC Land's files since at least October 15. Elsewhere it appears only in the UK, at No. 45 with 223,658 views. Together those placings account for 76.4% of its global total. Pakistan, where Punjabi is widely spoken, is not in the sample.

Half the views come from other uploads

The official video carries a smaller share of the song's audience than the No. 1 position suggests. On the Top Music Videos chart, "Guzarish" climbs from No. 9 to No. 2 with 21,933,823 views, up 35.3%, which is 51.5% of the song's chart total, against 57.4% a week ago. The rest comes from other recordings and uploads that YouTube folds into the song, including user-generated content and lyric videos. Those versions grew faster than the official video this week.

That leaves the two charts with different leaders. On the videos chart, "Dai Dai" is No. 1 with 31,140,414 views, 9,206,591 ahead of the "Guzarish" video. "Guzarish" also sits at No. 7 on the Shorts songs chart for a second week, in its third period there.

On the artists chart, Sartaaj climbs from No. 72 to No. 45 with 80,627,467 views, up 24.1%. He has two more songs on the global chart: "Udaarian", up from No. 77 to No. 65 with 10,607,714 views, and "Jaiye Sajana" with Jasmine Sandlas, from the soundtrack of "Dhurandhar: The Revenge", at No. 37 with 13,223,774. According to India TV News, that film came out in March.

Dai Dai's one-week return

"Dai Dai" drew 38,913,197 views, down 4.3% from 40,661,971. It is the song's eighth consecutive weekly decline since September 17, when it drew 70,651,536, and it ends a third spell at No. 1 that lasted one week. Its count of weeks at the top stays at 22, by PPC Land's tally: 15 from late May until "SaWaDiKa" displaced it in September, six through October 22, and the week ending November 5. Against the 117,818,800 weekly views PPC Land recorded in early August, the current total is 67.0% lower, a comparison that crosses the August 24 change in view counting.

The song remains the most widely spread recording in the national files. It appears on 11 of the 16 charts and leads two of them: Germany, with 1,171,069 views, 401,475 ahead of "Olurmusun?", and the Netherlands, with 265,372. It is second in the UK, France, Kenya, Portugal and Australia, third in the United States and fourth in Spain. The 16 markets account for 33.0% of its global total, with the United States again the largest visible source at 3,172,701. Its official video carries 80.0% of the song's chart views, the highest share among the top three. On the artists chart, Shakira moves up from No. 17 to No. 16 even though her views fall 2.5%. Burna Boy drops off the artists top 100, where he was No. 97 a week ago.

Last week's debuts in week two

Three songs that entered high a week ago lost a large part of their audience. LISA's "Tarantino", the No. 1 debut of the October 29 week, left the global chart and all 16 national charts in its third week.

POKITO keeps the US and loses everywhere else

PPC Land reported last week that "POKITO" is the lead single of Daddy Yankee's album "La Postal", released on October 30, and that YouTube staged a live microdrama event for the album presented by Visa. In week two, its views fell by 25,228,826, the largest decline in absolute terms on the chart, and it dropped 61 places, the steepest fall.

The national files show where that audience went. India, its largest visible market a week ago with 11,763,616 views at No. 14, no longer lists it; the 100th song on India's chart this week drew 3,790,718. The UK chart, which it led with 2,458,837 views, now has it at No. 59 with 192,814, a fall of 92.2%. In Australia, where it was also No. 1, it falls to No. 24 with 142,433, down 88.9%. It drops from No. 4 to No. 12 in Germany, from No. 5 to No. 15 in Spain, from No. 2 to No. 4 in the Netherlands and from No. 10 to No. 41 in Portugal.

The United States is the exception. "POKITO" holds No. 6 there with 2,439,267 views, down only 1.8%, and the US chart now supplies 22.4% of the song's global total. On the videos chart, the official video falls from No. 1 to No. 32, down 75.5% to 8,504,977. Daddy Yankee slips from No. 14 to No. 25 on the artists chart, with views down 27.2%, and Diljit Dosanjh from No. 37 to No. 60.

Tu Mil Jaaye and ADDICTED

"Tu Mil Jaaye", from the Shah Rukh Khan film "King", held up better. Its India total fell 41.2% to 16,403,525 and its rank from No. 2 to No. 9. It holds No. 9 in Australia and moves from No. 15 to No. 17 in the UK. The file now titles it "Tu Mil Jaaye (feat. Ed Sheeran)" and removes Sheeran from the artist credit, and Sheeran falls from No. 36 to No. 88 on the artists chart, with views down 37.3%. The videos chart still lists the upload as "Tu Mil Jaaye (From "KING")", at No. 5 with 17,547,922 views, down 43.5%. According to the reporting PPC Land cited last week, the film is not due in cinemas until December 24.

JISOO's "ADDICTED" kept three national placings out of 11: Australia at No. 42, Germany at No. 85 and the Netherlands at No. 94, together 2.4% of its global total. Its official video is no longer on the videos top 100, where it debuted at No. 6 with 17,023,166 views. A different upload, "ADDICTED (Dance Performance Video)", enters that chart at No. 72 with 5,908,621.

Diwali and Ramayana in India's chart

India's chart grew 9.4% to 827,370,779 views, the largest national total in the set by a wide margin. According to Bankbazaar and SmartPuja, Diwali and Lakshmi Puja fell on Sunday, November 8, 2026, inside this chart week. India's share of the 15 long-running markets rose to 41.4% from 39.8%.

Festival songs show up more on the Shorts chart than on the main charts. On the main global chart, the only Diwali title is "आई है दिवाली सुनो जी घरवाली" by Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Kumar Sanu, Shaan, Ketki Dave and Sneha Pant, which re-enters at No. 81 with 9,394,534 views in its second period, 96.5% of them on India's chart, where it is No. 27. Vishal Mishra's "Diwali" enters India's chart at No. 100. On the Shorts chart, Vishal-Shekhar's "Happy Diwali", with Surthi, Aparna Sen and Sunidhi Chauhan, re-enters at No. 1, two more songs with Diwali in the title sit at No. 5 and No. 26, and "Jalte Diye", a song about lit lamps, is at No. 6, alongside two devotional songs about Ram and a Chhath Puja mix.

The other calendar event was a film. According to Sacnilk, "Ramayana" opened in India on Thursday, November 5. Khaleej Times, which describes the film as directed by Nitesh Tiwari with music by AR Rahman and Hans Zimmer, reported the same date for its UAE release. That makes this chart week its first full week in cinemas. Khaleej Times, citing Sacnilk estimates, reported on November 10 that the film had earned Rs 3.46 billion net in India in five days and more than Rs 6.63 billion worldwide.

The soundtrack moved with the release:

• "Mangal Rang" by A.R. Rahman, Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Kumar Vishwas re-enters the global chart at No. 28 with 14,394,627 views. It was No. 23 globally in the October 29 week and left the chart a week later. On India's chart it climbs from No. 52 to No. 14, with views up 117.4% to 12,591,051. Its video, "Mangal Rang (From "Ramayana")", is No. 89 on the videos chart.
• "Ravana Tandav", by Rahman, Vishal Dadlani and Kumar Vishwas, re-enters globally at No. 75 with 9,788,702 views and climbs from No. 53 to No. 34 in India, up 47.7%. The file has retitled the upload again: last week it was "Ravana Tandava (Kannada)".
• "Judi Jodi", the Karwa Chauth release that debuted at No. 44 a week ago, leaves the global chart and falls from No. 16 to No. 56 in India, down 44.9%.

A.R. Rahman climbs from No. 30 to No. 24 on the artists chart, with views up 7.4%. Thirty-seven songs on the global chart now draw more than half their views from India's chart, together 574,883,134 views or 40.8% of the top 100, against 35 songs and 37.5% a week ago. Seven of the global top ten are South Asian recordings, among them Sadhu Tiwari's "Parvati", up from No. 18 to No. 6 with views up 46.2%, 96.2% of them from India.

Christmas takes Halloween's place

A week ago, Halloween songs took 7.2% of US chart views, with Michael Jackson's "Thriller" at No. 1. This week "Thriller" is on none of the 17 songs charts, having appeared on the global chart and eight national ones a week earlier. "Monster Mash", "Somebody's Watching Me" and the "Spooky Scary Skeletons" remix are gone as well.

Christmas music fills the space. PPC Land counted songs with a Christmas title or theme in each market:

The US chart has swapped one holiday for another at almost the same weight: 7.2% for Halloween a week ago, 7.0% for Christmas now.

Two new holiday recordings

Olivia Rodrigo's "take me home (4 christmas)" debuts at No. 3 in the UK with 687,370 views, at No. 13 in Australia and No. 19 in the United States with 1,756,858, with further placings in the Netherlands, Germany and France. According to Official Charts, it is her first Christmas single, co-written with Dan Nigro and Amy Allen and produced by Nigro, and was released on Friday, November 6 through Interscope Records, with a video featuring Cynthia Nixon and Ben Marshall. The Music Universe reported a US release at 5 p.m. Pacific on November 5, and said a 7-inch vinyl would be sold at Target stores from November 6. The single does not reach the global top 100, but its video enters the videos chart at No. 73 with 5,867,764 views, and Rodrigo re-enters the artists chart at No. 80.

Sam Fender's cover of The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" debuts at No. 5 in the UK with 666,601 views and appears on no other chart in the set. It is the soundtrack of John Lewis's Christmas advert. According to Official Charts, the cover was released on November 3 to accompany the advert, titled "Gloria and Pickles" and described as the retailer's 20th Christmas campaign, which stars Dame Kristin Scott Thomas and a wooden dog voiced by Paul Whitehouse under the message "Don't Give Up on Giving". According to Music Week, John Lewis's profits from each record sold in its stores go to Action For Children, while net profits from CD and 7-inch sales through Fender's own store go to Teenage Cancer Trust. Both outlets described the song as a contender for the UK's Christmas No. 1, which Official Charts said will be announced on December 25.

The catalogue returns

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" climbs from No. 59 to No. 27 globally, with views up 41.4% to 14,458,788, in its 76th period. It places on ten national charts, level with Dua Lipa's "Training Season" and behind only "Dai Dai", rising to No. 5 in the United States with 2,826,913 views and No. 6 in the UK. In the week ending December 25, 2025, the song ranked No. 2 globally with 57,130,536 views, and this week's total is 25.3% of that level, six weeks before Christmas, in a comparison that crosses the August 24 change in view counting. It also enters the Shorts chart at No. 40.

Wham!'s "Last Christmas" re-enters the global chart at No. 56 with 11,721,212 views, in its 56th period, and climbs to No. 4 in the UK, No. 8 in the Netherlands and No. 11 in both Germany and the United States. Sia's "Snowman" re-enters at No. 94. The UK chart carries the longest list, with "Merry Christmas Everyone", "Fairytale Of New York", "Santa Tell Me", "Underneath the Tree", "Do They Know Its Christmas", "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree", "Mistletoe", "Jingle Bell Rock" and "I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday" all present. Most of these recordings return in the same weeks every year, which is why their chart tenure runs to dozens of periods.

Two calendar songs of a different kind are also present. Guns N' Roses' "November Rain" holds No. 67 globally with views up 8.6%, and Gordon Lightfoot's "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald", about the freighter lost on Lake Superior on November 10, 1975, re-enters the US chart at No. 42 with 1,377,151 views in the week of that anniversary.

Where the global chart's views come from

The coverage measure rose this week, carried by India:

The seven songs on no national chart include Xamdam's "Пешта" (Peshta) at No. 10 with 23,135,262 views, two Thai-language songs, GAVIN:D's "อย่ามากกว่าฉันก็พอ (Jealous)" at No. 39 and the new entry "เด๋อ" by JOEY PHUWASIT at No. 51, and three older recordings, DJ Snake and Justin Bieber's "Let Me Love You", OneRepublic's "Counting Stars" and La Factoria and Eddy Lover's "Perdóname". The seventh, "Aarzu" by Noor, Khan and Madhurxo, sits at No. 100. K-pop is again barely visible: RESCENE's "With" debuts at No. 61 with 7.6% of its views on Japan's chart, and BESTie's "연애의 조건" debuts at No. 68 with 9.7% visible.

Combined views across the 16 national charts rose 5.3% to 2,215,668,559, and across the 15 long-running markets 5.2% to 1,997,144,264, while the global top 100 rose 2.8%. The Philippine chart grew most, up 22.8% to 157,557,961, followed by Portugal (up 20.0%), India (9.4%), Indonesia (8.5%) and Türkiye (6.6%, to 218,524,295, or 9.9% of the 16-market total). South Africa's chart fell 14.9% and Australia's 9.4%.

National charts remain overwhelmingly local. The 1,500 positions in the 15 long-running files are filled by 1,125 distinct recordings, and 960 of them, or 85.3%, appear in only one market, against 86.6% a week ago on the same count. "Dai Dai" is the most widespread, in 11 of the 15, followed by "All I Want for Christmas Is You" in ten.

National leaders

Fourteen different songs lead the 16 national charts, as a week ago, and nine markets changed leader:

Some of the changes deserve detail:

• United States and Australia: Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" moves up to No. 1 in both, in its 54th period on the US chart, where it finishes 1,316,655 views ahead of "BbY WOW", and its 45th in Australia.
• United Kingdom: Jamie Miller and Antonio Cipriano's "Babydoll" leads by 590,371 views over "Dai Dai", in its eighth period.
• Portugal: Plutonio leads for a third week with a third different song. "Água Fria" debuts at No. 1, "Isaltino", the leader two weeks ago, is third, and "Graças a Deus", last week's leader, is fourth.
• Philippines: SHEAN's "ako ang bagyo" leads with 13,874,993 views, 1,549,767 ahead of "Na Para Bang". The global chart lists it as a debut at No. 31 with 14,169,463 views, 97.9% of them Philippine; the national file gives it a previous rank of No. 7 under a different URL.
• Brazil: "Flash (Minha Mente)" passes Felipe e Rodrigo's live recording by 78,437 views.
• Japan: the EBiDAN collaboration "Yes! 東京" returns to No. 1, 1,091,910 views ahead of M!LK.

Among unchanged leaders, Bien's "I'll Be Okay" leads Kenya for a fifth week with views up 13.8%, and Mabel Matiz's "Umrumdışı" holds Türkiye with views up 27.1%, 1,740,396 ahead of manifest's "TRALALA". Globally, "Umrumdışı" climbs from No. 56 to No. 34.

Shorts

The Shorts songs chart turned towards Diwali. "Happy Diwali" re-enters at No. 1 in its fifth period, ending the run of ATLXS's "PASSO BEM SOLTO (Slowed)", which slips to No. 2 in its 86th period. Anil Rawat, Kajal Hathrasi and Mohit Love's "Payal Ki Khanak" jumps from No. 29 to No. 3, and "MONTAGEM ZORA (Slowed)" by WUYS and KIT is fourth.

Fifteen songs enter or re-enter, among them "Jalte Diye" at No. 6, IKI DANO's "NONA KAKA SAYANG" at No. 8 and "All I Want for Christmas Is You" at No. 40, while the "Spooky Scary Skeletons" remix drops out after Halloween. Twelve of the 50 Shorts entries also appear on the global songs top 100, up from ten, including "Guzarish", "KALYANI (Remix)", "Alfaaz", "Parvati" and "Barsaat". None of last week's big debuts, "POKITO", "Tu Mil Jaaye" or "ADDICTED", is on the Shorts chart.

Data quality notes

The November 12 files repeat known problems and add new ones:

• Titles that switch back: Felipe e Rodrigo's recording, retitled "Aftermath (Live)" on the global, Brazilian and Portuguese charts a week ago, is "Pós (Ao Vivo)" again under the same URL. "Ravana Tandava (Kannada)" is now "Ravana Tandav", and "Tu Mil Jaaye" has become "Tu Mil Jaaye (feat. Ed Sheeran)".
• Lacuna Coil credits: the "Ramayana" upload India's chart listed last week as "Ramayana: Shree Hanuman Chalisa", credited to the Italian band Lacuna Coil, is now "Shree Hanuman Chalisa" at No. 84, credited to Lacuna Coil together with Sukhwinder Singh, Diljit Dosanjh, Mohit Chauhan, Shankar Mahadevan and Kailash Kher.
• Missing URLs: India's "Bahut Jatate Ho Chah Humse" by Alka Yagnik and Mohammad Aziz still has "n/a" in place of a URL, as does a re-entry on Indonesia's chart, Zendaya and Zac Efron's "Rewrite The Stars" at No. 95. On the Shorts chart, "VERITY HARDTEKK (Super Slowed)" lacks a URL for a fifth week and "Khalouni N3ich (Extended Mix)" for a second.
• Changed URLs behind previous ranks: 16 national rows carry a Previous Rank that points to a different URL, up from six, seven of them in Japan. "ako ang bagyo" leads the Philippine chart under a new URL with a previous rank of seven, and on the Shorts chart "MONTAGEM ZORA (Slowed)" claims the No. 2 position held last week by a different upload titled "MONTAGEM ZORA".
• Credits and spacing: Kenya's "ZEP (feat. Uncool MC)" has an empty name between two ampersands, and 39 rows across the 20 files carry leading, trailing or double spaces in a title or credit, including "Mi Chico " on the global chart and eight national ones.

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. That will change: YouTube said on November 9 that it will return to the Billboard charts from those dated January 16, 2027, after Billboard lowered the number of ad-supported streams that count as an album unit. Until then, brands, agencies and media buyers judging an artist's reach on YouTube have these files as the most direct public measure.

This week tests what a No. 1 means. Since September, three songs have entered in the top three and lost most of their audience in their second week: "SaWaDiKa" (down 78.9%), "Tarantino" (down 88.3%) and now "POKITO" (down 69.8%). Two of them arrived with brand partnerships, a PlayStation campaign for "Tarantino" and a YouTube-staged event presented by Visa for "POKITO". "Guzarish" took the opposite route, reaching the top in its seventh period on growth concentrated in a single market. A sponsor reading only the No. 1 position would see two very different things. One is a debut spike that the second week reverses. The other is a climb that has not yet peaked.

The No. 1 also depends on the measure. On the songs chart, "Guzarish" leads. On the videos chart, "Dai Dai" leads by more than 9 million views, because only about half of the "Guzarish" total comes from the official video. A brand buying placement around an official video and a brand counting total exposure to a song would rank the two differently.

The calendar is now the main driver in the UK and the US. Christmas songs took 15.3% of UK chart views and 7.0% of US views, six weeks before Christmas, and two of the new holiday entries are tied to commerce: one is the soundtrack of a retailer's advert, the other was sold on vinyl through Target. Google's holiday playbook for advertisers said Christmas music dominates the season without giving figures; these files put numbers on it market by market. In India, Diwali and a film release lifted the national chart 9.4%, and the soundtrack of "Ramayana" returned to the global top 100 in the film's first full week in cinemas.

The measurement limits remain. Paid advertising views are excluded, and the files do not say how many were removed. The sample leaves out Pakistan, South Korea, Thailand, Mexico and Puerto Rico, and seven songs worth 89 million views appear on none of the 16 national charts.

Other movements

The global chart had 11 debuts and 13 re-entries, against nine and 14 a week earlier, and 24 songs left it, among them "Tarantino", "SaWaDiKa", "Thriller", "Judi Jodi", BABYMONSTER's "DESERVE", ATEEZ's "Drip", Bad Bunny's "BAILE INoLVIDABLE" and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face". Debuts include Badshah, Shreya Ghoshal and Hiten's "Mahiya" at No. 48, Aventura's "Dile al Amor" at No. 86 and Al Shami's "تعا" at No. 95, which is fifth in Germany. Re-entries include The Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris" at No. 55, Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" at No. 63 and Akon's "Smack That" at No. 78.

The largest climb was by Alka Yagnik and Vinod Rathod's "Dil Phir Bhi Tumhe Dete Hain Kya Yaad Karoge", up 43 places to No. 41 with views up 52.3%, the largest percentage rise on the chart. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" and Mariah Deborah's "Na Para Bang" each climbed more than 30 places. Behind "POKITO" and "ADDICTED", the biggest fall was Tate McRae's "Housewife", down 30 places to No. 87 with views down 12.7%.

Summary

Who: YouTube, which publishes the weekly chart files; Satinder Sartaaj and T-Series, whose "Guzarish" reached No. 1; Shakira and Burna Boy, whose "Dai Dai" fell to No. 2; Daddy Yankee and Diljit Dosanjh, the makers of "King" and JISOO, whose debuts lost ground; Olivia Rodrigo, Sam Fender and John Lewis, behind new Christmas entries; the makers of "Ramayana"; and the marketers who use YouTube's music data.

What: "Guzarish" climbed from No. 7 to No. 1 with 42,613,776 views, up 50.8%, three-quarters of them from India, in its seventh period on the chart. Only about half its views came from the official video, so "Dai Dai" still leads the videos chart. "POKITO" lost 69.8% of its views in week two, Christmas songs took 15.3% of UK chart views and 7.0% of US views, and the "Ramayana" soundtrack returned to the global chart after the film's release.

When: The chart week ending November 12, 2026, which PPC Land reads as November 6 to November 12, compared with the week ending November 5 and earlier weeks PPC Land has documented.

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. Pakistan, South Korea, Thailand, Mexico and Puerto Rico are not in the set.

Why: A song reached No. 1 through eight weeks of steady growth in one market, while promoted debuts faded within a week or two, which changes what a chart position tells a sponsor. The week also shows how much the songs and videos charts can disagree, and how strongly festivals, film releases and Christmas now shape the rankings, two months before YouTube's data returns to Billboard.
