Country-level trending lists

YouTube's native trending tab is one country at a time and rebuilt by an opaque algorithm. FameLifter aggregates trending data across 50+ countries with an hourly refresh, side-by-side. Compare what is trending in Turkey vs. the US vs. Brazil and spot cross-border content opportunities.

Filter for what matters to you

Trending lists become useful once you can slice them. FameLifter lets you filter trending content by:

  • Category (gaming, music, education, news, lifestyle, ...)
  • Format (Shorts vs. long-form vs. live)
  • Channel size tier (don't mix MrBeast with rising creators)
  • Recency window (last hour / day / week)
  • Country / region

Outlier detection

Some trending videos are merely promoted; others are genuine breakouts. The outlier badge highlights videos performing several multiples above their channel's baseline — those are the genuine viral signals worth studying.

From trends to ideas

Spotting a trend is half the work. Pair Trending Discovery with the Idea Generator: hand it a trending topic and a niche, get five video ideas adapted to your channel's voice. Free for the first five generations a day, unlimited on Pro.
