7clouds' The Winners - Week 16, 2026
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 Spain: Romeo Santos, Prince Royce - Dardos (Letra/Lyrics) | 19x
Opening the board with a solid 19x, the "Kings of Bachata" are proving that the Spanish flagship is finding its rhythm in smooth, high-emotion storytelling. It’s a sophisticated start to a board that only gets more intense from here.
6. 7clouds Argentina: LiL CaKe, Migrantes, Nico Valdi - MERCHO (Letra/Lyrics) | 20x
A 20x multiplier for "MERCHO" signals a high-density engagement spike in Argentina. This track is "punching above its weight," showing that the local appetite for urban-pop remains a key velocity driver in the Southern Hemisphere.
5. 7clouds Christmas Music: Elvis Presley - Can't Help Falling In Love (Lyrics) | 38x
In a delightful seasonal anomaly, Elvis has secured a 38x multiplier on the Christmas channel. It proves that a legendary voice transcends the calendar—our audience is seeking out "comfort classics" regardless of the season, maintaining a steady, high-velocity floor for the channel.
4. 7clouds USA: Madison Beer - bittersweet (Lyrics) | 40x
Madison Beer brings a crisp 40x multiplier to the USA boards. Her atmospheric pop sound is perfectly calibrated for the mid-April mood, acting as a bridge between the underground "indie" vibes and the massive global hits dominating the main channel.
3. 7clouds Indonesia: Glenn Fredly - Januari (Lirik/Lyrics) | 127x
After his 209x record-breaker, Glenn Fredly proves he is no "one-hit wonder" for the charts. Holding a 127x multiplier on nearly 300,000 views is a feat of pure endurance. Indonesia remains the most consistently high-velocity territory in the entire 7clouds empire.
2. 7clouds Sweden: Alan Walker, Luke Christopher - Faded (Lyrics) | 286x
Following Monday's 2,251% supernova, Alan Walker has settled into a staggering 286x multiplier. Pulling nearly 200,000 views at this speed is unheard of. Stockholm isn't just "active"—it is currently a high-frequency broadcast tower for the entire European continent.
1. 7clouds Germany: Alphaville - Forever Young (Text/Lyrics) | 572x
We have a new "God-Tier" champion. Alphaville’s "Forever Young" has achieved a mind-melting 572x multiplier on a massive 1.17 million views. This is the single most dominant performance we've recorded since kicking off the features. To see a track move this fast at such a massive volume suggests it has become more than a song—it is a viral phenomenon that has completely consumed the German algorithm. Alphaville has set a benchmark that may not be broken for years.
From Elvis in April to Alphaville’s 572x history-maker, this week has been an absolute masterclass in "The Power of the Permanent." We’ve seen that the 7clouds network doesn't just play hits—it revives legacies.
