- How is this list of YouTube Shorts ranked?
- Only YouTube Shorts published in the last 7 days qualify. They are sorted by the view count Kabo recorded on its latest pass, highest first, and the board keeps up to 50 rows.
- Where does the data come from?
- From YouTube's public most-popular chart for the United States and topic searches, with view counts read from the official YouTube Data API. Displayed counts are source readings recorded by Kabo; figures that a third-party data provider reports about a video are not used for ranking. Thumbnails and titles link back to the original YouTube page.
- Which country does this board cover?
- Discovery uses the United States region setting. It is a discovery scope, not the nationality of the creator or the location of every viewer. Popular videos outside this discovered pool can be missing.
- How often is it updated?
- The page reads published snapshots through a 30-minute shared cache. The actual snapshot date is shown above the table, and snapshots older than 48 hours are marked. A refresh schedule does not guarantee a new observation on every pass.
- Is the board free?
- Yes. All rows, titles, creators and view counts are open to everyone with no signup. The Analyze button sends a video to Kabo's free YouTube Video Analyzer.
- Is this a list of trending Shorts sounds?
- No — these are the Shorts themselves, ranked by views. If you are looking for the audio side, use the trending TikTok sounds and trending Instagram Reels audio boards, which rank sounds by how many new videos picked them up.
