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 USA: Backstreet Boys - Shape of My Heart (Lyrics) | 32x
Tapping straight into peak late-90s pop sentiment, the Backstreet Boys secure a smooth 32x velocity jump. Shape of My Heart provides an immovable baseline of passive streaming retention across North American playlists.
6. 7clouds Acoustic: Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is (2008 Remaster) (Lyrics) | 51x
Back on the board for another massive week! Stripping away the massive arena production and focusing purely on vocal gravity commands a heavy 51x multiplier, pulling 76,000 views and proving high-sentiment rock classics can repeatedly anchor the acoustic ecosystem.
5. 7clouds Tropical: Lauv - I Like Me Better (Lyrics) | 62x
Pushing a stellar 62x velocity spike, Lauv’s breezy, sun-drenched indie-pop anthem fits the Tropical flagship like a glove. The light string production and effortless vocal hook keep weekend session durations locked in high-retention loops.
4. 7clouds Brazil: Djavan - Eu Te Devoro (Ao Vivo) (Letra/Lyrics) | 63x
Bringing elite Brazilian soul and acoustic prestige to the regional boards. Capturing a 63x multiplier with a live recording of Eu Te Devoro highlights the immense power of localized, high-sentiment catalog assets across South America.
3. 7clouds Rap: Anitta, LISA, Rema & FIFA Sound - Goals (Lyrics) | 111x
An absolute triple-digit global play! Pairing Latin pop royalty (Anitta), K-pop dominance (LISA), and Afrobeat energy (Rema) under a FIFA-backed track launches a massive 111x multiplier, pulling nearly 100K views straight through the Rap sub-channel.
2. 7clouds Germany: Boney M - Rasputin (Text/Lyrics) | 120x
An absolute regional takeover on home turf! Boney M’s immortal disco classic surges to a staggering 120x multiplier to capture 122,000 views. Weaponizing viral retro hits on European regional flagships remains an absolute cheat code for weekend traffic.
1. 7clouds Dubstep: James Arthur - Impossible (Lyrics) | 773x
A historic coronation to claim the Week 30 crown! Taking Monday's Channel of the Week catalyst and watching it erupt into a near-quadruple-digit 773x multiplier to drop 387,000 views on the Dubstep channel is pure, unadulterated programming genius. Filtering James Arthur’s soaring vocal performance through a high-impact bass engine triggered an absolute hall-of-fame recommendation loop that completely blew the doors off the algorithm.
From Boney M. dropping six-figure views in Germany to James Arthur putting on a 773x masterclass on Dubstep, Week 30 has shown an empire operating at its absolute highest peak. The formatting is running completely clean, the numbers are pristine, and the sub-channels are officially punching with the weight of major flagships.
