Questions about this chart

Where does this list come from?

YouTube's own most-popular chart, requested with the region code JP and YouTube's own News & politics category (ID 25). We read up to 200 entries of it, keep the Shorts (three minutes or under), drop anything under a thousand views, allow no channel more than twice, and sort what is left by views per day since publish rather than by total views.

Are these videos made in Japan?

Not necessarily. A regional chart reflects what is popular with viewers in that country, and YouTube does not tell us where a channel is based. Some of these will come from creators elsewhere, and we do not claim otherwise.

Why are most titles in Japanese?

Because this is the chart as viewers in Japan see it: we do not filter it by language. If you post in English, the formats and hooks still carry across — the subject, the length and the first second are what to borrow, not the words.

What counts as News & politics?

Whatever the uploader filed under YouTube's News & politics category. We do not re-sort videos ourselves, so a video filed in the wrong category turns up on the wrong chart.

Why is this chart sometimes empty?

YouTube does not keep a most-popular chart for every category in every country, and a chart it does keep can have no Shorts on it above a thousand views. When that happens the page says so and shows nothing, rather than borrowing videos from another chart.

How often does it update?

Once a day. The date of the last refresh and the number of Shorts ranked are shown above the list, and if today's refresh has not run yet the page says so and shows the previous one.

Is this TikTok data too?

No. YouTube Shorts only. We have no TikTok or Instagram corpus and any page implying otherwise would be lying about where the numbers came from.

What does 'Make my version' do?

It carries that video's title into our generator as an angle and writes a new script in your own wording — on a plan from $7 a month. Nothing is copied from the original video.
