Welcome to 7clouds' The Winners, a weekly series. As the ever-growing network that we are here at 7clouds, we'll be taking a look (and many different angles) into what has defined our brand for over a decade: Lyric YouTube videos. They are the core of who we are, and are a true part of our identity, spanning over 40 videos uploaded every single day across our various channels on the most watched platform in the history of the Internet.
In 7clouds' The Winners, every week we take a look at the seven best performing recent videos across our many channels, which span from Country and Chill, to Rock, Rap, R&B, and even countries like Italy, Argentina, Canada and Australia. The peculiarity of this series is that we rank the top videos based on how they've overperformed their neighbours in their specific channels. This means that, for example, for 7clouds Latin, we only compare its recent seven videos against themselves, and not against other channels, or by jugding only by viewcount alone. This allows us to have a clear picture of how well a video did against its local average. We represent this by an x. Meaning that if, for example, a video uploaded in a given week had 6,000 views in a channel with an average viewcount of 1,000, its value would be 6x.
Enough chitchat. Let's dive into this week's countdown.
7. 7clouds France: Stromae, Pomme, Coldplay, Elyanna, Arcane League of Legends - Ma Meilleure Ennemie (Paroles/Lyrics) | 16x
France enters the board with a sophisticated, high-volume entry. While the multiplier is lower, the 136,000 views show that this League of Legends anthem has a massive, steady footprint that anchors the European sector.
6. 7clouds K-pop: KATSEYE - PINKY UP (Lyrics) | 30x
K-pop is showing its raw power. KATSEYE has pulled in over 300,000 views with a 30x multiplier, proving that this channel is one of the network's most efficient "View Machines," even if the velocity is more stable than viral.
5. 7clouds Amapiano: Myztro, Leehleza - Tobetsa 3.0 ft. Shaunmusiq & Ftears (Lyrics) | 84x
Amapiano continues to be the "cool hunter's" favorite. An 84x multiplier shows that the South African sound is maintaining its status as a high-velocity trend that keeps the network feeling fresh and global.
4. 7clouds Sweden: Kygo, Ava Max - Whatever (Lyrics) | 249x
Sweden is back in the big leagues. Crossing the 200x barrier, this Kygo and Ava Max collaboration is the perfect "Electronic Summer" starter, proving the Nordic Supernova is firing on all cylinders again.
3. 7clouds Australia: Air Supply - I Can Wait Forever (Lyrics) | 315x
This is a massive "Friday Surprise." Australia has surged into the top three with a 315x multiplier. It seems the "Nostalgia Engine" we saw with the Backstreet Boys has migrated Down Under, turning this 80s classic into a high-speed viral hit.
2. 7clouds Indie: AWOLNATION - Sail (Lyrics) | 542x
AWOLNATION is refusing to let go of the #2 spot. Maintaining a 542x velocity on nearly half a million views is a masterclass in sustained aggression. This track has become the definitive anthem for the "High-Intensity" side of the network.
1. 7clouds Germany: Alphaville - Forever Young (Text/Lyrics) | 992x
We are nearly at the 1,000x threshold. At 992x, Alphaville is essentially outperforming the rest of the YouTube algorithm. This is the ultimate "Legacy Dynasty"—a track that has become so synonymous with the German flagship that it creates its own weather system.
From Air Supply’s 315x surge to Alphaville’s near-thousand-point record, Week 20 has proven that the 7clouds network is more than just resilient—it’s explosive.
