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 Afrobeats: TINI, Maria Becerra - Miénteme (Letra/Lyrics) | 22x
In an absolutely brilliant programming twist, Argentina’s premier pop duo has completely hijacked the Afrobeats channel. Pulling 16,000 views, this track shows that rhythmic Afro-beats are a perfect canvas for Latin pop superstars, creating a highly addictive cross-cultural fusion.
6. 7clouds Trap: WizKid - Joro (Lyrics) | 23x
WizKid brings his signature smooth, late-night vibe to the Trap board for an elegant 11,000 views. This is a great example of the Trap flagship expanding its horizons beyond aggressive urban beats into melodic, global rhythm spaces.
5. 7clouds Afro House: Lucas Estrada, Heliograph - Lava (Lyrics) | 24x
Representing the sophisticated side of the dance network, "Lava" secures a steady 24x velocity spike. The Afro House flagship is quietly building a premium, deep-groove destination that keeps late-night electronic listeners locked in.
4. 7clouds Argentina: TINI, Sebastian Yatra - Oye (Letra/Lyrics) | 29x
TINI secures a double-appearance on today's board! Over on her home turf of Argentina, her classic, heartbreaking collaboration with Yatra lands a solid 10,000 views. It proves that high-drama Latin ballads remain an incredible anchor for regional retention.
3. 7clouds Tropical: Benson Boone - Beautiful Things (Lyrics) | 39x
This is fantastic algorithmic synergy. Benson Boone's massive mainstream hit has been repositioned on the Tropical board, pulling 36,000 views. Infusing raw, passionate vocals with breezy tropical aesthetics is a brilliant way to give a massive hit a completely fresh life cycle.
2. 7clouds Indie: Ruth B. - Lost Boy (Lyrics) | 126x
"Lost Boy" has officially graduated into a network phenomenon. After dominating the Acoustic board last week, it has migrated over to the Indie flagship and increased its volume to 151,000 views while holding an incredible 126x velocity. This track is a masterclass in long-term algorithmic shelf life.
1. 7clouds K-pop: YENA - Catch Catch (Lyrics) | 138x
A truly spectacular performance to claim the Friday crown. We watched YENA help drive the K-pop channel of the week on Monday, and over the weekend, she absolutely went nuclear. Pulling over half a million views (573K) while sustaining a towering 138x multiplier proves that the K-pop flagship has unlocked a level of raw, repeat-viewer velocity that is currently unmatched anywhere else in the empire.
From TINI's multi-genre double-play to YENA's massive half-million view crown, Week 22 has proven that the boundaries between our channels are completely melting away. The network is moving as one giant, interconnected ecosystem.
