YouTube removed Trending. Here’s how to find what’s blowing up now.

In July 2025, YouTube announced it would remove the Trending page and the Trending Now list and shift attention to YouTube Charts. For viewers, creators, and journalists who relied on a single, neutral list of what’s taking off today, that leaves a gap.

Chartly24 fills that gap with hourly-updated, country- and category-specific charts built from public YouTube data. It’s fast, neutral, and designed for quick discovery.

Why did Trending go away?

YouTube’s plan is to lean into Charts and other discovery surfaces. That’s useful, but it also means casual users and reporters lose a simple “what’s hot right now in my country?” view. Chartly24 brings that back in a way that’s transparent, filterable, and consistent every day.

How Chartly24 works (in plain English)

• By country & category
  Choose a country (United States, United Kingdom, India, etc.) and a category (All, Music, Gaming, Entertainment, News, Sports, Tech).
  Try: / ?region=US or Music in India: / ?region=IN&category=10.

• Updated hourly (and archived daily)
  We snapshot the most popular videos each hour and publish daily archives (e.g., /trending/US/2025-08-13) so you can cite what was trending on a specific date.

• Top Movers
  A right-rail digest that surfaces videos climbing fastest right now—great for spotting breakouts early.

• Clean cards, readable overlays
  Every video tile shows title, channel, and views at a glance, optimized for dark & light modes.

Quick start: find what’s trending today

1. Pick your country from the toolbar.
2. Tap a category chip (or leave “All” selected).
3. Scan the grid and “Top Movers” for new names, fresh uploads, and spikes.

That’s it—no sign-in, no feed training, no rabbit holes. Just today’s chart.

Who is this for?

• Viewers & fans – find the best of YouTube in minutes.
• Creators & managers – watch your niche, spot format shifts, and discover collaborators by country.
• Journalists & researchers – cite a neutral daily list for coverage, trend pieces, and cultural snapshots.
• Marketers – track formats (shorts vs longform), cadence, and breakout channels.

Why country and category matter

A pure global list hides local culture and timing. A pure category list hides regional surges. Chartly24 lets you see both:

• Local virality (music, news, politics) is often region-first.
• Category spikes (e.g., gaming events) can dominate a niche without topping “All”.

Toggle countries and categories to triangulate what’s really moving.

Daily archives = citations & context

Most discovery surfaces are ephemeral. We save a daily snapshot (e.g., /trending/GB/2025-08-12) so you can:

• Cite yesterday’s list in articles or posts.
• Compare week-over-week movement.
• Research seasonality and cultural events.

Look for the “See yesterday’s chart →” link near the top of the page.

Tips for power users

• Refresh the toolbar if you’re tracking live events—our cache updates hourly.
• Compare countries for cross-border hits (e.g., a US-to-UK handoff overnight).
• Watch Top Movers to catch videos early; a #4 mover can be tomorrow’s #1.

What about Shorts?

Shorts can dominate attention quickly. Our lists reflect what’s most popular overall; you can still see Shorts thumbnails/titles alongside longform videos and spot when a format is leading.

For creators: research smarter (fast)

• Titles & thumbnails – scan the top grid to see real-world packaging that’s working today.
• Cadence – note how often leading channels publish in your region and category.
• Format experiments – are interviews, commentary, or challenges surging this week?

Pair these observations with your analytics; let Chartly24 guide content testing and timing.

For journalists: cover culture with receipts

Need a neutral list of what a country watched today? Use the live page for what’s trending now, and the daily archive for what trended yesterday. Link both for clarity and reader service.

The bottom line

YouTube’s own Trending page is going away, but the need for clear, daily, country-level discovery isn’t. Chartly24 brings back what people loved: a simple, up-to-date snapshot of what’s taking off right now—and the archives to prove it tomorrow.
