How the South Africa YouTube charts work
Every ranking comes straight from YouTube and reflects real engagement — view counts, watch time,
likes and shares, and how fast a video is growing. We don't re-order or editorialize the results, and chart
placements can never be bought. That is why the most popular songs in South Africa can change from one day to
the next as new music gains momentum.
