Turkish girl group manifest entered YouTube's global Top Songs chart at No. 4 with 27,318,613 views in the week ending October 15, 2026, according to the weekly chart files YouTube publishes. Its English-language single "TRALALA" was the highest new entry of the week and the only debut in the global top 30. YouTube's Turkish chart for the same week has it at No. 1 with 23,266,814 views, 85.2% of the global total by PPC Land's calculation, while the 15 other national charts in the set account for only 4.2%, with placings in just Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Across the whole global top 100, the 16 national charts account for 51.1% of views, and ten songs, worth 102,813,866 views between them, appear on none of them. Shakira and Burna Boy's "Dai Dai" stayed at No. 1 with 47,942,059 views, down 9.3% on the previous week, while Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" fell 69 places to No. 98.

In Short

A new Turkish girl group's first English song became the fourth most-watched song on YouTube in the world in its first week. Most of those views came from Türkiye, while the 15 other countries whose charts were checked added almost nothing, which shows that the global chart is often driven by countries most chart reports never look at. So a song's global rank on its own does not tell you which countries its audience is in.

What the files contain

Twenty CSV files dated October 15, 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 the global Top Artists, Top Music Videos and Top Shorts Songs charts. Türkiye was not among the markets in PPC Land's previous weekly analyses; its chart was added to this week's set after the other 19 files. Comparisons with earlier weeks below therefore use the 15 markets common to both, unless Türkiye is named.

The format is unchanged from the week before. Songs and videos files carry 100 rows with Rank, Previous Rank, title, artists, Periods on Chart, Views, Growth and a YouTube URL. The artists file drops the title and URL. The Shorts file has 50 rows and no views. The files do not state when the tracking week begins; PPC Land's analysis of these exports uses a Friday-to-Thursday window, which makes this the week of October 9 to October 15.

The caveats PPC Land set out in its analysis of the previous week still apply. The Growth column carries a percent sign but behaves as a decimal fraction: "Dai Dai" shows -0.09%, while its raw totals, 52,838,019 a week earlier and 47,942,059 now, imply a 9.3% fall. Growth figures below are converted on that basis. YouTube also began counting a view as soon as playback starts on August 24, 2026, and the files do not mark that change. And even 16 national markets are a sample of the 61 countries and regions YouTube publishes charts for. Mexico and Pakistan, among others, remain absent.

TRALALA's debut

"TRALALA" holds No. 4 on the global songs chart, behind "Dai Dai", "KALYANI (Remix)" by ARJN, KDS, FIFTY4 and Shreya Ghoshal, and KAROL G's "BbY WOW" with Judeline and rusowsky. The official video is No. 3 on the Top Music Videos chart with 23,096,462 views, also in its first period. By PPC Land's calculation, that single upload accounts for 84.5% of the song's chart views, well above the median of 63.8% that PPC Land measured for matched songs a week earlier.

The group is credited as "manifest", in lower case, across all the files. According to the UK's Official Charts Company, manifest is a six-member group formed through Türkiye's Big5 talent competition in February 2025, and "TRALALA" is its debut English-language single. The group's first UK headline show was scheduled for OVO Arena Wembley in London on October 16, 2026, one day after the chart week closed.

Almost all of that audience is in one country. "TRALALA" debuts at No. 1 on YouTube's Turkish chart with 23,266,814 views, 2.5 times the 9,124,512 of Blok3's "Sebebi Yar (Live)" in second. Outside Türkiye, it debuts at No. 3 in Germany with 811,690 views, No. 10 in the Netherlands with 117,008 and No. 41 in the UK with 216,474, and is absent from the other 12 national charts, including the US. Those three placings add up to 1,145,172 views, or 4.2% of the global total. Together with Türkiye, the 16 national charts account for 24,411,986 views, 89.4%, leaving 2,906,627 views from markets outside the set, by PPC Land's calculation.

The group's second song on the global chart, "Toz Pembe", follows the same pattern. It sits at No. 89 globally with 7,323,169 views in its 15th period; Türkiye supplies 6,373,954 of those at No. 7, and the only other national placing is No. 79 in Germany with 142,581. On the artists chart, manifest re-enters at No. 70 with 60,794,857 views. The Turkish chart lists six manifest songs, including "Hileli" with Ajda Pekkan at No. 9, "Daha İyi" at No. 33, "Amatör" at No. 35 and "Zehir (Remix)" with Motive and Pango at No. 95. Those six drew 39,099,361 views in Türkiye, 64.3% of the group's artists-chart total.

Where the global chart's views come from

Because every songs file lists a YouTube URL, each global song can be matched to its placings on the 16 national charts. Adding up a song's national-chart views and dividing by its global views gives a rough measure of how much of that song's audience the sample can see. PPC Land ran that calculation for all 100 global songs.

The result is a lower bound. A song's views in a market where it ranks below 100th are not counted, and the 45 countries outside the sample are invisible. Even so, the spread is wide:

  • Across the global top 100, the 16 national charts account for 631,408,930 of 1,236,445,231 views, or 51.1%. Without Türkiye, the figure is 45.2%.
  • The median song has 41.9% of its global views visible in the national files, against 33.5% without Türkiye.
  • Thirty-five songs have 80% or more of their views accounted for. Twenty-seven of those are led by India, three by Türkiye, two by Indonesia, two by the Philippines and one by Brazil.
  • Nineteen songs have less than 10% accounted for, and ten have none at all.

India alone supplies 393,899,781 of the matched views, 62.4% of everything the 16 charts can attribute. That reflects the size of India's chart, which drew 664,007,419 views this week, 39.9% of the 1,662,392,301 views across the 15 markets tracked in earlier weeks. Türkiye's chart, at 219,586,743 views, is the third largest in the set, behind India and Brazil (226,630,910) and ahead of Indonesia and the US. It accounts for 11.7% of the 1,881,979,044 views across all 16. PPC Land examined India's share of those combined views in September, and it has barely moved since.

The Turkish cluster

"TRALALA" belongs to a larger group. Seven songs on the global chart are by manifest, the rapper Blok3 or Eypio, and every one of them except "TRALALA" carries a Turkish-language title. Blok3 has four: "Sebebi Yar (Live)" at No. 12 with 18,243,238 views, "Kayıp Kalp" at No. 31, "Çok Güzel Gülüyorsun" at No. 45 and "Kırgınım" at No. 48. Eypio's "Şahidim" debuts at No. 67 with 8,822,396 views.

Together the seven songs drew 96,013,886 global views, 7.8% of the global top 100, by PPC Land's calculation. The same seven songs fill the top seven places on YouTube's Turkish chart, in a different order from the global list. Türkiye supplies 68,264,897 of their global views, 71.1%. The other 15 national charts add 4,116,534, or 4.3%, almost all of them in Germany and the Netherlands, both of which have large Turkish-origin communities. PPC Land noted Blok3's Germany and Netherlands pattern a week ago, when no Turkish chart was available to confirm where the rest came from.

The Turkish chart is also among the most self-contained in the set. Eighty-three of its 100 songs appear on no other national chart. Only a handful of international hits reach it: "Training Season" at No. 51, "Dai Dai" at No. 72 and LISA's "SaWaDiKa" at No. 99. The chart had eight debuts and six re-entries.

Thailand, Mexico and beyond

The ten songs with no national placing at all fall into recognisable groups. Two are Thai-language debuts by GAVIN:D: "อย่ามากกว่าฉันก็พอ (Jealous)" at No. 35 with 12,234,849 views and "ได้แค่เดินมาส่ง (The Last Walk)" at No. 65 with 8,970,458. Thailand is not in the set.

Four are Spanish-language tracks by Mexican acts: "Tu Boda" by Oscar Maydon and Fuerza Regida, the live "Tus Mentiras (En Vivo)" credited to Moy Bobadilla, Grupo Firme and others, Fuerza Regida's "ANSIEDAD", and "Doma" by Jósean Log. Mexico is also absent. Fuerza Regida climbs to No. 10 on the global artists chart with 145,298,790 views, a level reached without a single placing for either of those songs in the 16 markets.

The largest unexplained entry is again "Пешта" (Peshta) by Xamdam Sobirov, at No. 7 with 23,400,681 views in its ninth period. The video title on the videos chart, which places it fourth with 22,530,678 views, is written in both Latin and Cyrillic script. The remaining songs are "Perdóname" by La Factoria and Eddy Lover, "Banjaara" by Mohammed Irfan and Mithoon, and "Love All Day" by SxyCip.

At the other end, the songs with near-complete coverage are almost all Indian. Indian releases such as "Mallepoola Pallaki", "Basinga Balaalu" and "Irumudi Kattu" have 98% to 99% of their global views accounted for by India's chart alone. The Filipino ballad "Mahal Magmahal" sits at 97.3% from the Philippines.

Patient Zero's third week

"Patient Zero" now sits at No. 98 on the global chart with 6,953,547 views, down 49.2% on the week before. That is 71.9% below the 24,777,513 views it drew in its debut week, by PPC Land's calculation, and just 23,051 views above the 100th-place cut-off of 6,930,496. It was the largest fall on the global chart this week.

The song now appears in five national markets, down from nine a week earlier. In the US it is No. 19 with 1,725,229 views, against 7,084,018 in its first week. It is No. 11 in Australia, No. 21 in the UK, No. 43 in the Netherlands and No. 48 in Germany. Its official video, which entered the videos chart at No. 25 a week earlier, has dropped off the list, whose 100th entry drew 4,238,682 views. Taylor Swift fell three places to No. 20 on the artists chart with 109,009,634 views, down about 14%.

The YouTube figures sit uneasily beside the UK's sales-and-streaming chart. On October 16, the Official Charts Company reported that "Patient Zero" had held No. 1 on the Official Singles Chart for a third week. On YouTube's UK songs chart for what appears to be the same Friday-to-Thursday window, it is 21st, behind "Dai Dai", Morrisson's "COS OF YOU" and the KPop Demon Hunters medley. The two charts measure different things, and the gap shows how little of the song's UK consumption runs through YouTube.

Dai Dai and the national leaders

"Dai Dai" held the global No. 1 in its 22nd week on the chart. Its 47,942,059 views remain 8.6% above the 44,129,627 it recorded when it first reached No. 1 in late May, and 59.3% below the August 6 peak of 117,818,800 that PPC Land documented at the time, though that comparison crosses the August 24 change in view counting. Its lead over "KALYANI (Remix)", which drew 39,758,870, has narrowed to 20.6%, from about 30% a week earlier.

The song regained one national No. 1. In the UK it moved back to the top with 1,144,016 views, pushing "COS OF YOU" to second with 840,511 after a single week at No. 1. It also still leads Germany, with 1,524,916, and the Netherlands, with 370,335. In France and Portugal it remains second.

That leaves 12 different songs at No. 1 across the 15 markets tracked in earlier weeks, against 13 a week earlier, and 13 across all 16 once "TRALALA" in Türkiye is counted. Four of the 15 leaders are new:

  • Kenya: "I'll Be Okay" by Bien debuts at No. 1 with 2,036,717 views, 2.8 times the 730,470 of Ayra Starr's "Heaven Baby" in second. Bien has two other songs on the same chart, including "Finale" with Alikiba at No. 4.
  • Spain: "LA GRACIOSA" by Quevedo and Elvis Crespo moves up from second in its 25th week with 1,409,252 views, edging "BbY WOW" (1,355,304) and "Dai Dai" (1,351,986). The top three are separated by 57,266 views.
  • South Africa: "Nayvee's Prayer" by DJ Zinhle, Nayvee Womculo and Young Stunna takes No. 1 in its third week with 2,337,173 views. Its Growth value reads 0%, which the files offer without further detail.

The fourth is in the Philippines, where "Na Para Bang" by Mariah Deborah rose from second to first with 10,278,318 views, up about 59%, and debuted on the global chart at No. 41. The rest of the leaders are unchanged: Ella Langley's "Choosin' Texas" in the US, in its 50th week, and in Australia, in its 41st; "KALYANI (Remix)" in India; jeninho and Mariana Fagundes' "Peão Todo Tatuado" in Brazil in its 29th week; Tulus's "Teh Hijau" in Indonesia; the EBiDAN collaboration "Yes! 東京" in Japan; "Fille à Papa" by Vacra and La Rvfleuze in France; and Plutonio's "Isaltino" in Portugal, whose views fell about 34% in its second week.

National charts remain highly local. The 1,500 positions in the 15 files are filled by 1,137 distinct recordings, and 981 of them, or 86.3%, appear in only one market. "Dai Dai" is the most widespread, in 11 markets. The pattern PPC Land has tracked for several weeks is unchanged.

Sidhu Moose Wala's 295 and two URLs

The biggest mover on the artists chart is Sidhu Moose Wala, up 33 places to No. 44 with 81,324,520 views, an increase of about 38%. The cause is visible in the other files. A new upload titled "295 (MUSIC VIDEO) SIDHU MOOSE WALA" debuts at No. 10 on the videos chart with 12,332,437 views. On the songs chart, "295" re-enters at No. 14 with 17,120,238 views and a Periods on Chart value of 26. India's chart has it at No. 8 in its 57th period.

The songs chart links "295" to a different URL from the new video. Any analysis that matches the two charts by URL, as PPC Land did last week to measure how much of a song's audience watches the official upload, would miss the connection entirely. The same mismatch affects Dua Lipa's "Training Season", which is No. 9 on the songs chart under one URL while "Training Season (Live)" sits at No. 18 on the videos chart under another, and "KALYANI (Remix)", which has official uploads at No. 6 and No. 17 on the videos chart.

GAVIN:D shows a related problem. The songs chart credits "อย่ามากกว่าฉันก็พอ (Jealous)" to GAVIN:D alone and lists it as a first-week debut. On the videos chart, a session version titled "GAVIN:D x Violette Wautier - อย่ามากกว่าฉันก็พอ [IN MY ROOM SESSION]" climbs from No. 80 to No. 13 with 10,761,224 views, up 124%, in its second period. The collaborator named in the video title does not appear in any credit field, and the same performance is new on one chart and returning on the other.

Shorts

The global Top Shorts Songs chart, which ranks songs by how many Shorts use them, is again led by "PASSO BEM SOLTO (Slowed)" by ATLXS, now in its 82nd period. "Payal Ki Khanak" by Anil Rawat, Kajal Hathrasi and Mohit Love returns at No. 2 in its ninth period, and "KALYANI (Remix)" slips to third.

Twelve of the 50 Shorts entries also appear on the global songs top 100, the same number as a week earlier. They include "Parvati" by Sadhu Tiwari, up from 26th to ninth on Shorts, and "BbY WOW", up from 47th to 26th. Seven entries carry "Slowed" in the title. Neither "TRALALA" nor "Patient Zero" is on the Shorts chart. Fifteen songs enter or re-enter the Shorts list.

One row is incomplete. "VERITY HARDTEKK (Super Slowed)" by shxnei, at No. 46 in its fifth period, has "n/a" in place of a YouTube URL, the only missing link across all 20 files.

Data quality notes

The October 15 files contain several formatting inconsistencies that affect anyone processing them automatically:

  • Whitespace: "Mi Chico" by DJ Goja, Jason Derulo and Melody carries a trailing space in the global file and in all nine national files where it appears, so an exact text match against the clean title fails. Other titles, such as "Yeshanagula", "Endhayya Saami" and "Tera Mera Rishta", have the same problem, and " YAALALO YAALALO" has a leading space.
  • Broken credits: a Kenyan entry is credited to "DJ Smallz 732 & & 031Choppa", with an empty name between two ampersands. An Indian entry lists "G.V. Prakash Kumar & " with nothing after the ampersand. South Africa's No. 3, "Distance", lists FEZA twice. In the artists file, Irshad Kamil's name ends in a non-breaking space.
  • Inconsistent credits between charts: "Mi Chico" has three credited artists on the songs chart and Jason Derulo alone on the videos chart. "Yeshanagula" lists the same four names in different orders on the two charts.
  • Merged text: Japan's No. 1 title runs several featured acts together with double spaces and no separators, and a Kenyan title, "Zzero Sufuri Ft. Toxic Lyrikali - Otero (Audio)", carries upload labelling in the track name.
  • Period counts: "Na Para Bang" shows one period on the global chart and four on the Philippine chart. That is consistent with a song charting nationally before it charts globally, but the column does not say which chart it refers to. Eypio's "Şahidim" is a first-week debut on the global, German and Dutch charts, yet on the Turkish chart it is in its second period, up from No. 97 to No. 5 with a Growth value of 8.96%, which on the decimal reading means views rose almost tenfold.
  • Punctuation: the Turkish file contains a curly apostrophe in "Bi' türlü olmadı" by Oğuz Ünal, where every other file uses straight characters.

Why the coverage gap matters for marketers

YouTube's charts have become 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 spot rising artists, pick music for campaigns and judge where an act's audience lives.

This week's files show the limits of reading the global list on its own, or alongside a handful of national charts. A song at No. 4 worldwide had 4.2% of its views visible in 15 major markets, including the US, the UK, Germany, Brazil and India. Only the Turkish chart, which was not part of PPC Land's earlier weekly sets, shows where the rest came from. No such chart was available for the Thai and Mexican hits or for "Peshta" further down the list. For an advertiser considering a placement around "TRALALA", or a partnership with manifest, the global rank alone gives no indication of which countries that audience sits in.

The contrast with "Patient Zero" points the other way. A song at No. 1 on the UK's Official Singles Chart for three weeks ranks 21st on YouTube's UK chart and 98th globally. Popularity on one measurement system does not carry over to another, and YouTube's chart tells marketers where YouTube viewing concentrates, not where a song is most popular overall.

The data-quality issues add a practical cost. Matching songs to videos, or tracking an artist across files, requires cleaning whitespace and reconciling URLs and credits first. The "295" and "Training Season" cases show how a URL-only match can miss a song's most-watched upload altogether, and long chart tenure values such as the 26 periods attached to a re-entering "295" do not show that the views behind them now come through a different video. Weekly views are also counted under rules that changed in August without any mark in the files.

Other movements

The global chart had nine debuts and eight re-entries. Besides "TRALALA", the debuts include the two GAVIN:D tracks, "Na Para Bang", "Şahidim", Anuel AA's "Vuelve" at No. 75, "Nagada Sang Dhol" by Shreya Ghoshal and Osman Mir at No. 82, Atif Aslam's "Tere Sang Yaara" at No. 90 and "Terbelah Jadi Dua" by Gloria Jessica Gultom and Ade Govinda at No. 100. The re-entries include "One Of The Girls" by The Weeknd, JENNIE and Lily-Rose Depp at No. 30 in its 59th period, and KATSEYE's "Touch" at No. 99.

The biggest climb was "Endhayya Saami", up 46 places from 97th to 51st, with views up about 47%. "Ooroda Oththa Don" rose 38 places to 50th. ADÉLA's "Nicole Kidman" climbed 16 places to No. 28 with views up about 21%, and the song now appears in eight national charts, including No. 9 in the US and No. 5 in Australia.

On the national charts, France had the largest single climb: "4" rose 63 places to 35th. Kenya's "BLOW", featuring Scar Mkadinali, had the largest fall, 74 places to 93rd. Japan had the most debuts, with 20, followed by Germany with 19. Germany's highest new entry is Kerstin Ott and Maite Kelly's "Ich weiß was du brauchst" at No. 2.

The global artists chart is led, as in previous weeks, by Alka Yagnik with 455,872,303 views, ahead of Udit Narayan, Arijit Singh, Shreya Ghoshal and Kumar Sanu. The 100 artists drew 9,354,897,410 views in total, down from 9,618,744,775 a week earlier, a fall of 2.7% by PPC Land's calculation. Olivia Rodrigo re-enters at No. 97.

Timeline

Summary

Who: YouTube, which publishes the weekly chart files; Turkish girl group manifest, whose "TRALALA" debuted at No. 4 globally; Taylor Swift, whose "Patient Zero" fell to No. 98; Shakira and Burna Boy, whose "Dai Dai" held No. 1; and the advertisers and marketers who use YouTube's music data.

What: Twenty chart files covering global songs, videos, artists and Shorts and 16 national songs charts, including Türkiye for the first time. "TRALALA" drew 27,318,613 views, 85.2% of them on the Turkish chart and only 4.2% on the 15 other national charts. Across the global top 100, the 16 national charts account for 51.1% of views, and ten songs, including two Thai debuts and four tracks by Mexican acts, appear on none of them.

When: The chart week ending October 15, 2026, compared with the week ending October 8 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 Mexico, which appear to drive several global hits, are not in the set.

Why: This week's global chart reflects markets that the most commonly cited national charts do not show, so a song's global rank says little about where its audience is. Combined with URL mismatches and formatting errors in the files, that limits how far marketers can rely on the charts to locate an audience.
