Data note: the figures below come from a snapshot of YouTube's most-popular music chart taken on 13 October 2026. Rankings and view counts change daily, so treat this as a dated reading, not a permanent ranking.
What the chart shows
The German chart is not a German-language chart. In the top 20 on 13 October 2026, at least six entries are German-language (Kerstin Ott & Maite Kelly at #1, Sido x Montez, LX with Bonez MC, Gzuz & Caney030, Gangsta Ralph, Samy Deluxe and NGEE). Around them sit Turkish, Albanian, Serbian, Romanian, Arabic and Italian-titled releases.

Three of those are Turkish: Manifest with "TRALALA" at #2 (18.15M views, published four days earlier), Zeynep Bastık with "INAT" featuring Dhurata Dora at #6 (4.70M views, eleven days old) and Eypio with "Şahidim" at #17 (6.11M views, ten days old). "TRALALA" also appears at #9 on the UK chart the same day.
Why this matters for artists
Germany has a large Turkish-speaking community, and these results are consistent with diaspora audiences watching releases from Türkiye within days of publication. The chart itself cannot tell us who the viewers are, so treat that as a likely explanation, not a measured fact.
One more detail worth noticing: the #1 video has 0.66M views while a Taylor Swift video at #18 has 18.96M. The chart clearly rewards recent momentum rather than total views, which means a video can chart in the first week with far fewer views than an established hit, provided those views arrive quickly.
What to take from it
A release does not need a German-language hook to chart in Germany. Turkish-language videos are doing it.
The first week decides the chart. Nine of the top ten were published within the previous eleven days; the one exception is a 16-day-old release at #9.
Diaspora targeting is a real lever. In a Google Ads video campaign you can target by country and language, so a Turkish-language video can be shown to Turkish speakers in Germany specifically.
If you are an artist planning a release, the practical question is where your first week of views will come from. Our pricing page shows what an official Google Ads video campaign costs by country, and a free video review tells you whether your video is a fit before you spend anything.
