Trending YouTube Shorts in the USA today

YouTube’s most-popular chart for the United States, filtered to Shorts and re-ranked by how fast each one is gaining views rather than by its total. Useful if you post for a US audience and want to see what that audience is watching today.

In this refresh: 14 Shorts from 14 channels. The fastest is gaining 20.3M views a day; the median is 1M.

Updated Friday, 16 October 2026 · ranked from the 14 Shorts YouTube returned for this query.

Ranked by views per day since publish, not by total views — a three-year-old video with a million views has taught nobody anything about this month. Source: YouTube's most-popular chart with region code US, refreshed once a day — the same cached chart as our main Shorts page.

By niche

Narrow it to the niche you post in

Each niche page runs its own daily search, also requested for the US region, and ranks the results the same way.

Questions

Is this really US data?

Yes. The list comes from YouTube's own most-popular chart requested with the region code US, which is YouTube's chart for the United States. It is the same cached result as our main Shorts page, which uses the same US chart — this page simply says so up front.

Are these videos made by American creators?

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.

How is it ranked?

The chart is filtered to Shorts (three minutes or under), anything under a thousand views is dropped, no channel appears more than twice, and what is left is sorted by views per day since publish rather than by total views.

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.

What does 'Make my version' do?

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