How this ranking is built

Source: the public YouTube Data API. Subscriber, view and video counts are readings from the channels; the snapshot on this page is 2026-10-31.
Scope: channels YouTube tags under indie music. The full list has 124 channels; this page shows the top 100 by subscribers.
Categories come from YouTube’s public topic data for each channel. A channel can carry several topics and appear in more than one ranking.
Excluded: channels that hide their subscriber count, and channels with no public subscriber count.
Positions follow the recorded counts. Candidate-list membership is reviewed separately; a snapshot label does not mean every channel was newly observed at the same time.
