I Survived 100 Days on One Block by MrBeast Gaming dominated this week, trending in 98 countries — a truly global phenomenon.
This automated weekly report analyzes YouTube trending data from September 7 to September 13, 2026, tracking 74,123 trending video appearances across 109 countries.
Analysis
The most striking thing about week 37 is not one video but a near tie at the top. I Survived 100 Days on One Block trended in 98 of the 109 countries we track, and LISA’s SaWaDiKa was right behind it at 91. They reached that spread in very different ways. LISA’s video peaked at 160.8M views and hit #1, while the MrBeast Gaming upload peaked at 21.1M and never got above #2. A gaming video with roughly an eighth of the views covered more markets. That suggests YouTube’s trending lists reward consistency across countries as much as raw size.
The category split tells the same story. Gaming held 40.7% of trending appearances and Music 37.4%, a gap of only about three points. However, the two categories got there through different kinds of hits. Six of the ten most widely trending videos were gaming titles, including two Minecraft videos from Parrot and Spoke and a Nintendo Direct, while Music had only two, both from K-pop soloists (LISA and JISOO). Music’s share seems to come from fewer, very large releases. Gaming’s looks broader and spread across many creators.
Trailers were the third theme. A Marvel Rivals character reveal, Paramount+‘s Avatar: Seven Havens and TOHO’s IMAX trailer for Godzilla Minus Zero all reached between 58 and 62 countries. Each peaked in the single-digit millions, but launch marketing clearly travels well. HYBE LABELS is worth noting too: it reached 70 countries with seven different videos, more than any other channel in the top ten, which points to a catalogue strategy rather than a single hit.
Regionally, India stood out among our major markets as the only one where Music led; Gaming led the other nine. Total views tracked rose 21% from the week before, even though the number of unique videos stayed flat. That suggests the same number of videos drew bigger audiences, probably helped by the LISA release.
What to watch next week
- Whether I Survived 100 Days on One Block can hold more than 90 countries for a second week, or whether a new release takes over.
- Whether SaWaDiKa keeps its reach after its launch week, since big music videos often stay high in views even as they drop off trending lists.
- Whether the Avatar and Godzilla trailers keep spreading after their first week.
