LISA's "Tarantino" entered YouTube's global Top Songs chart at No. 1 with 71,702,899 views in the week ending October 29, 2026, according to the weekly chart files YouTube publishes, pushing Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai" into second place. It is the second time in seven weeks that the Thai singer has taken the top spot from the World Cup anthem: her single "SaWaDiKa" did the same in the week ending September 10. "Tarantino", the lead track of LISA's six-song EP "PRESS PLAY", drew 63.2% more views than "Dai Dai", led the national charts in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and Australia, and appeared in 14 of the 16 national markets in PPC Land's sample. Its opening week was nonetheless less than half the size of the 154,951,658 views "SaWaDiKa" recorded on arrival. "Dai Dai" slipped 1.6% to 43,944,645 views in its 24th week on the chart and no longer leads any of the 16 national charts.

In Short

A new song by LISA was the most watched song on YouTube worldwide this week, knocking Shakira's "Dai Dai" off the top for the second time since September. It was No. 1 in five countries, including the US and the UK, while a group of new Korean songs and a song from an upcoming Indian film also entered high on the chart. Big first weeks on YouTube often shrink fast, so the real test for "Tarantino" comes next week.

What the files contain

Twenty CSV files dated October 29, 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 22 week and the October 15 week. Comparisons that reach back further use the 15 markets common to all weeks unless Türkiye is named.

Nothing has changed in the format. Songs and videos files carry 100 rows each: rank, previous rank, title, artists, periods on chart, weekly views, growth and a YouTube URL. The artists file drops the title and URL, and 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 23 to October 29.

The usual caveats apply. The Growth column carries a percent sign but works as a decimal fraction: "SaWaDiKa" shows 1.13%, while its raw totals imply a rise of 113.0%. 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. Sixteen national markets are only a sample of the countries YouTube covers. Thailand and South Korea, two markets likely to matter for this week's biggest debuts, are not among them.

Tarantino's first week

At 71,702,899 views, "Tarantino" accounted for 5.2% of all views on the global top 100, which rose 7.5% on the week to 1,390,856,439. Its lead over "Dai Dai" was 27,758,254 views. It is the largest weekly total for any song since "SaWaDiKa" arrived in the week ending September 10, just above the 70,651,536 views with which "Dai Dai" returned to No. 1 a week later.

Almost all of it came through one upload. The official music video, under the same URL as the songs-chart entry, debuts at No. 1 on the Top Music Videos chart with 67,819,861 views, 94.6% of the song's total by PPC Land's calculation. That is close to the 94.3% share PPC Land measured for "SaWaDiKa" in its debut week, and well above the median of 73.5% across the 64 songs this week whose URL also appears on the videos chart.

The national files show where 63.8% of those views were counted. "Tarantino" places in 14 of the 16 markets, more than any other song, and is absent only from Kenya and South Africa:

  • India: No. 13 with 12,409,573 views
  • Indonesia: No. 2 with 7,898,488
  • United States: No. 1 with 7,158,279
  • Brazil: No. 5 with 6,260,464
  • Germany: No. 1 with 3,002,999
  • United Kingdom: No. 1 with 2,429,334
  • France: No. 2 with 2,315,033
  • Australia: No. 1 with 1,078,787
  • Philippines: No. 52 with 780,719
  • Japan: No. 65 with 738,061
  • Türkiye: No. 92 with 729,733
  • Netherlands: No. 1 with 718,690
  • Spain: No. 69 with 189,477
  • Portugal: No. 59 with 50,681

India is the largest single source the sample can see. Its 12.4 million views are 17.3% of the global total, against 10.0% from the United States, even though the song ranks only 13th on India's much larger chart. The remaining 25,942,581 views, 36.2%, came from markets outside the set or from placings below a national top 100. Thailand, LISA's home country, is the most obvious gap.

The margins at the top of the national charts were wide. In Germany, "Tarantino" drew 2.2 times the views of "Dai Dai" in second. In the United States it finished 2,311,064 views ahead of Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas", which is in its 52nd period on the US chart. Two markets resisted by narrow margins: France, where Vacra and La Rvfleuze's "Fille à Papa" held No. 1 by 48,240 views, and Indonesia, where Tulus's "Teh Hijau" kept the top spot by 485,040.

PRESS PLAY and the PlayStation tie-in

According to Sports Kyunghyang, LISA released "PRESS PLAY" on music platforms worldwide at 12:00 a.m. Korean time on October 23, with "Tarantino" as the title track. The six songs are "Tarantino", "SaWaDiKa", "V12", "Cobra", "Cut U Off" and "Sweat". Malay Mail, citing Yonhap News Agency, described it as her first release in one year and eight months, following her debut album "Alter Ego" in February 2025, a count that leaves aside "SaWaDiKa", which Sports Kyunghyang described in September as a pre-release track.

The song arrived with a brand partnership already running. Maxim reported on October 22 that a PlayStation commercial starring LISA used a preview of "Tarantino" as its soundtrack, and that a limited-edition DualSense controller designed with her input would arrive on October 30 in limited quantities. According to the same report, merchandise was set to go on sale through LISA's official Amazon store and PlayStation's online storefront.

Two of the EP's other tracks reach the chart. "Sweat" debuts at No. 62 with 9,969,323 views, 97.7% of them through its lyric video, which enters the videos chart at No. 22. It charts in seven national markets, highest in the Netherlands at No. 9 and in Germany at No. 14. "V12", "Cobra" and "Cut U Off" do not appear on the global chart or on any of the 16 national charts.

LISA herself returns to the global Top Artists chart at No. 16 with 133,282,794 views, her 120th period on that chart. Across the songs chart, her three entries drew 105,875,098 views between them.

SaWaDiKa's second wind

The release also revived "SaWaDiKa". Seven weeks after it debuted at No. 1, the song climbed 35 places to No. 7, with views up 113.0% from 11,364,944 to 24,202,876, the largest percentage rise of any returning song. It re-entered the national charts in Brazil and Indonesia, both at No. 38, and jumped in the West: from No. 66 to No. 6 in the United States, from No. 50 to No. 3 in Germany, from No. 46 to No. 3 in the Netherlands and Australia, from No. 65 to No. 6 in the UK and from No. 91 to No. 13 in France.

This time the official video did not carry the song. Its views rose 45.5%, to 9,425,210, or 38.9% of the song's total. A second upload, simply titled "SaWaDiKa", enters the videos chart at No. 90 with 5,241,612. Even together, the two account for 60.6% of the song's chart views, by PPC Land's calculation. The remainder is not attributed to any upload in the files.

Dai Dai's second run ends

"Dai Dai" first took the global No. 1 in the week ending May 28, displacing "NO BATIDÃO". It held the position for 15 weeks until "SaWaDiKa" arrived, then returned to the top a week later with 70,651,536 views as LISA's single fell to fifth, and stayed there for six weeks, through October 22. That makes 21 weeks at No. 1 in all, by PPC Land's count.

The song's fall to second has more to do with the newcomer than with its own audience. Views fell only 1.6%, from 44,641,123. The longer trend is steeper. PPC Land recorded 117,818,800 weekly views in early August and 57,331,821 in the week ending October 1, and the current figure is 62.7% below the August peak, a comparison that crosses the August 24 change in view counting.

Nationally, "Dai Dai" gave up its last two No. 1s, in Germany and the Netherlands, to "Tarantino". It is now second in Germany (1,363,159 views), the Netherlands, Kenya and Portugal, third in France and the UK and fourth in the United States and Spain. Its presence on 12 national charts is second only to "Tarantino". On the artists chart, Shakira slips two places to No. 14.

The challenger from India lost ground. "KALYANI (Remix)" by ARJN, KDS, FIFTY4 and Shreya Ghoshal fell 11.3% to 37,198,705 views and slips from second to third. Last week the gap between it and "Dai Dai" had narrowed to 6.5%. It is now 18.1%. On India's own chart, where the remix holds No. 1 in its 37th week, views fell 12.7% to 28,801,709.

A week of Korean releases

Four K-pop releases debut inside the top 33, and together they show the limits of the sample more clearly than any other group of songs this week.

  • ILLIT, "체포하겠어", No. 12 with 19,287,922 views. The videos chart lists the same upload as "You're Under Arrest" at No. 28 with 9,151,420. According to The Korea Times, the HYBE girl group released its fifth EP, "BREAK EVEN", on Monday, October 26, which left the song four days of the chart week. The Korea Herald reported a 6 p.m. release and a music video featuring actor Song Kang. ILLIT climbs 34 places to No. 47 on the artists chart, the week's largest climb, with views up 35.9%.
  • K/DA, "FIRESTARTER", No. 15 with 18,960,520 views, credited to K/DA, League of Legends, i-dle and Mimi Webb.
  • BABYMONSTER, "DESERVE", No. 19 with 17,842,436 views. Its strongest national placings are No. 19 in Indonesia and No. 24 in Japan. BABYMONSTER re-enters the artists chart at No. 86.
  • ATEEZ, "Drip", No. 33 with 14,121,334 views, highest in the United States at No. 29 and Japan at No. 37.

These four songs drew 70,212,212 global views. The 16 national charts account for 21,797,156 of them, or 31.0%, by PPC Land's calculation. Each individual song sits between 28.2% and 32.4%. South Korea is the obvious missing market, as it was for A2O LITE's "NEON" a week ago.

"NEON" itself fell from No. 3 to No. 9, losing 34.2% of its views to 23,716,732. It left the US, UK, German, Dutch and Philippine charts, and its three remaining national placings, in Japan, Indonesia and Australia, now account for 16.9% of its global total, down from 21.4%.

A video game on the chart, again

For the second week running, a video game appears as a credited artist on the global songs chart, after "Grand Theft Auto VI" on last week's "Flower In A Hurricane [from GTAVI]". The videos chart credits the "FIRESTARTER" music video, at No. 9 with 13,964,094 views, to League of Legends alone.

K/DA is a virtual group whose members are League of Legends characters, voiced by real singers. According to The Korea Herald, "FIRESTARTER" is its first release in six years, following the 2020 EP "All Out", and Riot Games, the game's publisher, said the video was produced by French animation studio Fortiche Production. Miyeon and Soyeon of i-dle return as the voices of Ahri and Akali, while Sophie Powers and Mimi Webb join as Evelynn and Kai'Sa. Inven Global reported that the EP is released through Riot Games and Virgin Music Group and that K/DA will perform at the Worlds 2026 Opening Ceremony at Barclays Center in New York on November 14.

The song's audience in the sample is mostly Western. It places in nine markets, led by the United States at No. 13 with 2,055,713 views, and including No. 7 in Australia, No. 8 in Germany and the Netherlands, and No. 14 in France.

The timing is harder to explain. According to The Express Tribune, the music video was released on October 19, and Inven Global reported that Riot counted 9.2 million views in its first 24 hours. That would place the release inside the October 16 to 22 chart week, yet "FIRESTARTER" does not appear in any of the October 22 files, and it enters this week in its first period. "NEON", released on October 13, followed the same pattern a week earlier. The files do not explain why.

The GTA VI track, meanwhile, lasted one week. "Flower In A Hurricane" drew 10,926,066 views at No. 48 a week ago and has now left the global top 100.

Ramayana's songs ahead of the film

Two of the 14 debuts come from the same Indian film. "Mangal Rang" by A. R. Rahman, Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Kumar Vishwas enters at No. 23 with 16,765,396 views, and its video, titled "Mangal Rang (From "Ramayana")", debuts at No. 6 on the videos chart with 15,537,708. India supplies 14,328,753 views at No. 11, 85.5% of the global total.

According to Republic World, the song was released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, with Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal on the Hindi version and lyrics by Kumar Vishwas. The film, directed by Nitesh Tiwari with Ranbir Kapoor as Rama, Sai Pallavi as Sita and Yash as Ravana, is produced by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios with DNEG and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, and is scheduled for a worldwide release on November 5, 2026. Gulf News dated the song's release to October 25 and reported a debate among listeners over its qawwali-style influences. The song therefore had five days in the chart week.

The second Ramayana entry has a more tangled record. "Ravana Tandavam (Tamil)", credited to A. R. Rahman, Vishal Dadlani and Kumar Vishwas, debuts at No. 54 with 10,522,876 views and No. 20 in India. Its URL is the same one that entered last week's videos chart at No. 9 as "Ramayana: Ravana Tandav (Song)", credited then to Lacuna Coil. This week the videos chart lists that upload as "Ravana Tandav" by Vishal Dadlani, down from No. 9 to No. 96 with 5,058,094 views, a fall of 65.8%. The songs chart, in other words, counts twice as many views for the song as the video it links to carries, and gives a Tamil label to an upload whose title last week made no mention of Tamil.

A. R. Rahman climbs 15 places to No. 23 on the artists chart, with views up 28.6% to 108,015,405.

Western releases fade

Last week's three big Western debuts all lost ground. Olivia Rodrigo's "expectations" with Chappell Roan, No. 1 a week ago in the United States, the UK and Australia, fell from No. 8 to No. 83 globally, losing 66.2% of its views to 8,317,602, the steepest fall of any song that stayed on the chart. It now sits at No. 14 in the US, No. 12 in the UK and No. 10 in Australia. Rodrigo drops 30 places to No. 82 on the artists chart.

Tate McRae's "Housewife" held up better, slipping from No. 13 to No. 26 with 15,704,251 views, down 15.4%. It is No. 2 in Australia, No. 4 in the UK and No. 5 in the US and the Netherlands.

Harry Styles has two entries. "Coming Up Roses" debuts at No. 80 with 8,387,499 views, and its official video enters the videos chart at No. 70 with 6,031,683. According to UNITED24 Media, the video was released on October 26 and filmed at the Ukrainian National Home in Jersey City, and the song comes from "Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally", the album he released in March 2026. It charts in seven markets, highest in the UK at No. 18 and the Netherlands at No. 19. "Sign of the Times" re-enters the global chart at No. 43 in its 29th period with 12,488,025 views, of which the national charts account for 20.6%, half of that through No. 29 in the Philippines.

Megan Thee Stallion's "Thin Ice" debuts at No. 67 with 9,588,684 views and climbs from No. 17 to No. 8 in the United States with 2,702,752. The video, titled "Thin Ice - Tina Tuesday Freestyle", carries 96.4% of the song's views.

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. One global entry this week, "Bahut Jatate Ho Chah Humse", has no URL, so it was matched to India's chart by title and artist.

  • Across the global top 100, the 16 national charts account for 730,432,401 of 1,390,856,439 views, or 52.5%, against 52.7% a week earlier. Without Türkiye, the figure is 48.6%, up from 48.2%.
  • The median song has 46.0% of its global views visible, down from 51.9%. Without Türkiye, the median is 38.8%.
  • Thirty-four songs have 80% or more of their views accounted for, against 36. Fourteen have less than 10%, against 19.
  • Five songs, worth 64,775,869 views, appear on none of the 16 national charts, down from eight.

The five include Xamdam's "Пешта" (Peshta), which rises from No. 10 to No. 8 with 23,856,862 views and has lost even the single Dutch placing that gave it 0.2% coverage a week ago. GAVIN:D's "อย่ามากกว่าฉันก็พอ (Jealous)" and PORZAX's "ยิ้มอันตราย", both Thai-language songs, sit at No. 39 and No. 65. The others are La Factoria and Eddy Lover's "Perdóname" and Plan B's "Es Un Secreto (Remix)", which re-enters at No. 94 in its 20th period.

Two other re-entries are almost as hard to place. The Weeknd's "Save Your Tears" returns at No. 37 with 13,620,876 views in its 73rd period, with only a Philippine placing, 4.1% of its total. El Chombo's "Dame Tu Cosita", in its 56th period, re-enters at No. 38 with 4.2% visible, and its video, credited to "Dancing Green Alien & El Chombo", returns to the videos chart at No. 12.

The national charts grew faster than the global one in some markets and shrank in others. Combined views across the 16 markets rose 5.0% to 2,020,267,341, and across the 15 long-running markets 4.9% to 1,808,571,901. The UK chart rose 18.8% and the Dutch chart 18.3%, the two largest increases, in a week when "Tarantino" topped both. Brazil's grew 12.8% to 260,821,907. India's chart edged down 0.4% to 703,118,916, and its share of the 15-market total fell to 38.9% from 40.9%. Kenya's chart shrank 5.4% and Portugal's 3.7%.

National leaders

Twelve different songs lead the 16 national charts, one fewer than a week ago, and 11 across the 15 long-running markets. Six markets changed leader:

  • United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany and the Netherlands: "Tarantino", as above. In the UK, Jamie Miller and Antonio Cipriano's "Babydoll" is second with 1,303,336, and "Golden" from KPop Demon Hunters sits fifth in its 71st week.
  • Brazil: Felipe e Rodrigo's "Pós (Ao Vivo)" moves up to No. 1 with 16,356,233 views, up about 80% on Brazil's chart, ahead of last week's leader, "Flash (Minha Mente)" by Hugo & Guilherme and Zé Vaqueiro, with 13,908,013. On the global chart, "Pós (Ao Vivo)" climbs 37 places to No. 22, the week's largest climb.

The other leaders are unchanged. KAROL G's "BbY WOW" with Judeline and rusowsky holds Spain with 1,286,754 views, 94,891 ahead of "LA GRACIOSA". "Fille à Papa" holds France and "Teh Hijau" Indonesia, as above. "KALYANI (Remix)" leads India, ahead of Anirudh Ravichander's "Ala Bolelo" with 24,781,935. In Japan, the EBiDAN collaboration "Yes! 東京" keeps No. 1 with 8,771,233, while M!LK's "ザッツ！超常" debuts at No. 2 and Mrs. GREEN APPLE's "シンデレラ" jumps from No. 81 to No. 3, its views up about 8.6 times. Bien's "I'll Be Okay" leads Kenya for a third week despite a 17.3% fall, DJ Zinhle, Nayvee Womculo and Young Stunna's "Nayvee's Prayer" leads South Africa with views up 25.7%, and Mariah Deborah's "Na Para Bang" leads the Philippines. In Portugal, Plutonio's "Isaltino" survives by 9,763 views over "Dai Dai".

National charts remain overwhelmingly local. The 1,500 positions in the 15 long-running files are filled by 1,090 distinct recordings, and 933 of them, or 85.6%, appear in only one market, against 85.8% a week ago. "Tarantino" is the most widespread, in 13 of the 15, followed by "Dai Dai" in 11 and KATSEYE's "Animal" in 10.

TRALALA's third week

In Türkiye, manifest's "TRALALA" holds No. 1 for a third week with 11,705,643 views, down 3.1%. Globally the song fell from No. 29 to No. 40, but its views dropped only 3.6% to 13,484,061, after a 48.8% fall the week before. Türkiye now supplies 86.8% of them. Mabel Matiz's "Umrumdışı" is second on the Turkish chart, and Aykut Aksöz's "Yüreğime mi Sorsam?" jumps from No. 32 to No. 4, taking the song onto the global chart at No. 78 with 91.3% of its views from Türkiye.

Six songs on the global chart now draw more than half their views from Türkiye. Together they account for 70,295,688 views, or 5.1% of the top 100, against seven songs and 6.0% a week earlier. The Turkish chart itself grew 5.9% to 211,695,440 views, 10.5% of the 16-market total.

Shorts

ATLXS's "PASSO BEM SOLTO (Slowed)" leads the Top Shorts Songs chart in its 84th period. "BAILA LENTO" by sma$her and MC DA$ILVA rises to No. 2, Sadhu Tiwari's "Parvati" to No. 3, and Alok and Alan Walker's "Headlights" with KIDDO slips to No. 4.

Seventeen songs enter or re-enter, ten of them in their first period. Andrew Gold's "Spooky Scary Skeletons (Undead Tombstone Remix)" re-enters at No. 33 in the last chart week before Halloween. Fourteen of the 50 Shorts entries also appear on the global songs top 100, up from 12 in each of the three previous weeks. None of LISA's songs, and none of the four K-pop debuts, appears on the Shorts chart. "TRALALA" slips from No. 31 to No. 41.

Data quality notes

The October 29 files repeat some known problems and add new ones:

  • Missing URLs: "Bahut Jatate Ho Chah Humse" by Alka Yagnik and Mohammad Aziz has "n/a" in place of a URL both as a global debut at No. 79 and on India's chart, where it climbs from No. 69 to No. 23 with 8,262,443 views, up 108%. India supplies 96.5% of its global total. On the Shorts chart, "VERITY HARDTEKK (Super Slowed)" by shxnei is missing its URL for the third week running, now at No. 26.
  • One URL, two identities: the Ramayana upload described above changes title from "Ravana Tandav" to "Ravana Tandavam (Tamil)" between charts, and its credit moves from Lacuna Coil to Vishal Dadlani on the videos chart.
  • Release timing: "FIRESTARTER" is absent from the October 22 files despite an October 19 release, the same gap seen with "NEON" a week earlier.
  • Changed URLs behind previous ranks: in 14 national rows, the Previous Rank points to a different URL from last week's entry at that rank. Six are in Japan, including ILLIT's song, which charted there at No. 62 a week ago under another URL, and Kroi's "SPIN", now replaced by a live version. Ayra Starr's "Heaven Baby" with ZAYN changed URL in Kenya, Portugal and South Africa. In Portugal, Nuno Ribeiro's "Saia Da Mãe" lists a previous rank of 86, the position held last week by U2's "The Greatest Show On Earth".
  • Period counts: "Thin Ice" is in its first period globally but its second on the US chart, and "Yüreğime mi Sorsam?" is in its first period globally but its second in Türkiye.
  • Credits and titles: the songs chart writes "A. R. Rahman" and the videos chart "A.R. Rahman". The "FIRESTARTER" video is credited to League of Legends alone, and KATSEYE's "Animal" video to HYBE LABELS. Felipe e Rodrigo become "Dupla Felipe e Rodrigo" on the videos chart. ILLIT's song is "체포하겠어" on the songs chart and "You're Under Arrest" on the videos chart.
  • Whitespace: trailing spaces persist on "Yeshanagula", "Endhayya Saami", "Mi Chico" and "Tera Mera Rishta", KR$NA's name is followed by three spaces, and the "Yes! 東京" credit carries double spaces.

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, spot rising acts and judge where an artist's audience sits.

This week's No. 1 came with a consumer electronics campaign attached. A PlayStation commercial carried the song before release, a co-designed controller was due a day after the chart week closed, and merchandise was set to be sold through LISA's Amazon store and PlayStation's own storefront, according to Maxim. For a sponsor, the chart files offer a rare outside read on the audience such a deal buys: 71.7 million views in seven days, 94.6% of them on one official upload, with India, Indonesia and the United States the largest visible markets.

The files also show how quickly that audience can contract. "SaWaDiKa" lost about 79% of its views in its second week in September. This week "expectations" lost 66.2% in its second, and "Kaali Hoodie" 49.8%. The useful number for any campaign tied to "Tarantino" is next week's, not this one.

A further point concerns who now occupies the chart. In two weeks, two video games have appeared as credited artists, and a film's soundtrack has placed two songs ahead of its theatrical release on November 5. Game publishers and film producers are competing for the same positions as record labels, and the chart does not distinguish between a label single and a marketing asset.

The visibility problem persists. Four K-pop debuts have fewer than a third of their views accounted for in the national files, and the market most likely to drive them is not in the sample. Even "Tarantino", which charted in 14 of the 16 markets, leaves more than a third of its audience unplaced.

How the views are generated is also outside the files' scope. When "SaWaDiKa" passed 100 million views in about 52 hours in September, some fans asked online whether paid advertising was surfacing the video, according to Sports Kyunghyang. TeamYouTube responded by explaining how recommendations are based on watch history and user activity, without addressing advertising. The chart exports carry no field that separates organic views from any other kind, and the views are counted under rules that changed in August. Long chart tenure values, such as the 73 periods attached to "Save Your Tears", say nothing about why an old song returns in a given week.

Other movements

The global chart had 14 debuts and 13 re-entries, against 17 and five a week earlier, and 27 songs left it by URL. The Weeknd lost three entries, "One Of The Girls" with JENNIE and Lily-Rose Depp, "Die For You (Remix)" with Ariana Grande, and "Starboy", while gaining "Save Your Tears". Blok3's "Çok Güzel Gülüyorsun" with Poizi and Eypio's "Şahidim" also dropped out. Other debuts include "AADAME", which credits eight performers led by Chemban Vinod Jose, at No. 85 with 78.9% of its views visible, most of them in India, and Thiago Navarro Music's "Bonito Bonito" at No. 91, which is No. 3 in Spain and No. 5 in Portugal.

Behind "Pós (Ao Vivo)" and "SaWaDiKa", the largest climbs were by Ashe's "Stop The Wedding!", up 34 places to No. 56, and Tippu and Sai Abhyankkar's "Veezh Veeraa", up 28 to No. 21 with views up 64.4%. Apart from "expectations", the biggest falls were by "Kaali Hoodie", down 58 places to No. 72 a week after debuting at No. 14, and "Irumudi Kattu", down 52 to No. 93.

The 100th song on the global chart needed 7,517,522 views, up from 7,329,665. The videos top 100 drew 900,438,330 views, up 13.4%, and its 100th place needed 4,944,463. The artists chart rose 2.0% to 9,552,644,427 views across its 100 entries, with Alka Yagnik again first on 472,470,170, ahead of Udit Narayan, Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Kumar Sanu. LISA, BABYMONSTER, Neton Vega, Victor Mendivil, Neelkamal Singh and Satinder Sartaaj enter or re-enter, while MC Ryan SP, Tanishk Bagchi, Zubeen Garg, Badshah, Vishal Mishra and Shankar Mahadevan drop out. Sidhu Moose Wala falls 23 places to No. 52.

On the national charts, the largest climbs were 78 places each: "SaWaDiKa" in France and Mrs. GREEN APPLE's "シンデレラ" in Japan. The largest fall was "expectations" in Spain, down 84 places to No. 97. Germany and Japan had the most debuts, with 23 each, followed by the Netherlands with 20.

Timeline

Summary

Who: YouTube, which publishes the weekly chart files; LISA, whose "Tarantino" debuted at No. 1; Shakira and Burna Boy, whose "Dai Dai" fell to No. 2; ILLIT, K/DA, BABYMONSTER and ATEEZ, whose new releases debuted inside the top 33; the makers of the film "Ramayana", whose songs placed twice; Sony's PlayStation, which ran a campaign around "Tarantino"; and the marketers who use YouTube's music data.

What: "Tarantino" entered the global chart at No. 1 with 71,702,899 views, 94.6% of them through its official video, and led five national charts. It is the second time in seven weeks that LISA has displaced "Dai Dai". Four K-pop debuts had only 31.0% of their views visible across 16 national charts, a video game appeared as a credited artist for the second week running, and the two Western debuts from last week that stayed on the chart lost 15.4% and 66.2% of their views.

When: The chart week ending October 29, 2026, compared with the week ending October 22 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 and South Korea are not in the set.

Why: A single release, backed by a consumer brand campaign, reset the top of YouTube's global chart. LISA's previous No. 1 lost about 79% of its views in its second week, and this week's files show steep second-week falls again, so the debut figure is a weak guide to the audience a sponsor or buyer can expect to reach later. The chart also mixes label singles with game and film marketing, and much of the audience for its biggest debuts sits in markets the sample cannot see.
