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.
