A couple of months after introducing its Explore tab that allowed us to discover new music, YouTube is expanding its influence in the music world with its newly-launched global charts.

The main idea behind this innovation is allowing YouTube users to “directly engage with the most popular music from 57 countries around the world.” In addition to seeing which songs and artists are trending in your own country, you can use this new feature to explore global music trends everywhere from Germany to South Africa.

The chart section offers insight into several different categories, including top songs, top music videos, and top artists in your home country—or another countries around the world. It’s a pretty interesting feature which allows you to see how global trends differ from country to country.

YouTube isn’t the only media platform trying to expend its reach by introducing its own charts. Back in 2019, Rolling Stone introduced a series of charts in an attempt to compete with Billboard, but the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard 200 are still used as the main indicator of sales and streams in the music industry.

YouTube’s new service, YouTube Music, lets its users switch between listening to a song and watching the music video with no interruptions. 

With a single tap within the app, you can now go back and forth between listening to the song and watching its video, and it should always pick up at the exact right spot, with no pause. There’s an option to turn this off if you’d rather stick to the audio instead.

Apparently, YouTube has matched over five million songs to their corresponding videos in order to make this feature work. They had an advantage as the main YouTube platform is the place where most of the music videos are published.

“Imagine listening to a new track by your favorite artist in the YouTube Music app and having the ability to seamlessly switch over to watch the music video — no pauses, no interruptions, just a simple transition that keeps the music flowing. That’s exactly what we’re introducing! Today, YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium subscribers can now make a seamless transition between a song and its music video for uninterrupted listening and watching,” YouTube Music product manager Brandon Bilinski wrote on the company’s blog.

YouTube Music has updated in several other ways recently. The service now offers Offline Mixtape, a feature that enables you to download songs and integrates them with Google Home smart speakers.

The audio streaming app is available in 62 countries to millions of users.
