This page will keep you updated on which videos are trending right now, which are all-time classics, how various vids stack up against one another and more. Think of it as the Billboard Hot 100 for the world of web video.
We're guessing this will pretty much settle the Gaga v. Bieber YouTube debate once and for all as well as surface interesting and timely content from around the 'Tube.
YouTube Charts filter top videos by several criteria. You can grab a list of videos that got the most views, the most likes or the most subscribers over the past day, the past week, the past month or all time. You'll be able to see the top 100 videos from each list; that means the YouTube Charts will feature 900 videos and channels (likely with some redundancies) every day.
The "most subscribed" option also gives us some insight into what individuals or production channels are gaining popularity at any given moment.
YouTube is also soliciting feedback for what kinds of features they should add to their Charts, such as "most shared" or "best newcomer" categories.
We'd like to see a new filter for type of content; for example, what's the most subscribed comedy channel this week or the most liked music video today? We'd love to be able to search within the charts, and we'd love to see a Charts API for tracking how videos wax and wane in popularity. And although it might be tricky to get various large tech companies to play nicely with one another's data, it would also be cool to integrate stats from other video sites, as well.
