Welcome to a new edition of 7clouds Channel Of The Week. 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.
This spotlight is all about Network Velocity. Every Monday, we look across our entire 7clouds ecosystem to identify the one channel with the hottest growth of the past days. We calculate this by comparing a channel's most recent output against its historical monthly baseline. By identifying the channel with the highest percentage of growth velocity, we can see exactly where the global ear is turning.
This week's Channel Of The Week is 7clouds Afrobeats.

The Afrobeats flagship kicks off Week 44 by seizing the Monday crown with a steady 69.9% velocity metric.
