By TrendTube Data Team

$10,000 Every Day You Survive In Minecraft by MrBeast Gaming dominated this week, trending in 99 countries — a truly global phenomenon.

This automated weekly report analyzes YouTube trending data from October 5 to October 11, 2026, tracking 68,922 trending video appearances across 109 countries.

Analysis

MrBeast Gaming’s $10,000 Every Day You Survive In Minecraft trended in 99 countries, the widest reach of any video in this five-week series. It beat One Block (98) and 13 Year Old Minecraft World (96). Over five weeks, MrBeast Gaming has had the most widely trending video every single week, with three different uploads. No other channel in our data comes close to that consistency.

The second-biggest story was a series rather than one video. skibidi toilet 82 reached 69 countries, up from 58 for episode 81 in week 37, and the skibidi channel ranked second by reach. That growth suggests the series’ audience is still expanding. A smaller trend appeared beneath it: last week Zoomy’s ADOPTED By GORILLA KING In Steal an Egg! reached 61 countries. This week Silver’s Gorilla King Found his Real Parents reached 41, and Zoomy again had eight trending videos. When a theme jumps from one creator to another like this, it’s often the start of a genre trend.

Two wider gaming moments also showed up. Riot’s Worlds 2026 anthem Know My Name with True Damage reached 51 countries with a 15.4M peak, and new seasons for One-Punch Man and Overwatch both trended in about 40 countries. The Overwatch trailer is a good example of how trending measures breadth rather than size: it was in 39 countries with a peak of only 630.5K views. Marvel’s VisionQuest trailer, meanwhile, stayed in 61 countries in its second week and its peak rose to 21.3M.

Read the totals with care. This week had 13 scrape sessions instead of the usual 14, and trending appearances dropped to 68,922 from about 74,000. That probably explains part of the 14% fall in total views tracked. The number of unique videos stayed flat. In categories, Music rose again to 38.6% while Gaming slipped to 40%. Brazil went back to Music, and South Korea returned to Gaming after one week.

What to watch next week

  • Whether MrBeast Gaming’s run continues into a sixth week, and whether any video passes 99 countries.
  • Whether the Gorilla King videos spread to more channels and countries.
  • Whether scrape sessions are back to 14, so the totals can be compared fairly with earlier weeks.
