The digital music landscape is experiencing a massive shift, and Virtual Youtubers (VTubers) are leading the charge. This week’s YouTube viewer data highlights a fascinating battle between viral legacy hits, rapid algorithmic spikes, and high-engagement indie releases. From corporate giants like Hololive and Nijisanji to powerhouse independent creators, the weekly rankings show exactly what the internet is listening to right now.

Joe Rikiichi Secures the Crown with “OBF”

In an impressive surge, Nijisanji’s Joe Rikiichi took the number 1 spot this week with his music video “OBF”. Raking in a massive 948K weekly views, the track has pushed past the 1.0M total view milestone. What stands out most here is the engagement metric: a solid 4.50% engagement rate, proving that his audience isn’t just passively looping the track—they are actively liking, commenting, and sharing.

The Unstoppable Juggernauts: Suisei and Shigure Ui

While new releases fight for the top weekly slots, the chart showcases a few historical anomalies that refuse to drop out of the top ten.

• Hoshimachi Suisei’s “Bibideba” holds strong at number 2. Despite a minor drop in momentum, it pulled in 517K views this week, contributing to its astronomical 173.3M total views. It continues to be one of the most culturally significant VTuber tracks ever released.
• Shigure Ui dominates the overall chart density. Her viral hit “Shukusei!! Loli Kami Requiem☆” sits at number 7 with 293K weekly views and a staggering 142.8M total views. Furthermore, her new track “Aishite Yamanaide” entered the top ten at number 9, bringing in 219K views right out of the gate with an exceptional 9.72% engagement rate.

Hololive EN and Indies Make Waves

The Western side of the VTuber space is showing intense metric strength. Ironmouse scored two tracks in the top ten: her solo track “Cry For Me” at number 4 (360K weekly views) and her feature on bbno$’s “1-800” at number 6 (303K weekly views).

Meanwhile, Hololive English’s Ouro Kronii made a massive splash with “Way 2 U” at number 5. While pulling 325K views, it achieved a stunning 12.42% engagement rate—one of the highest ratios on the entire chart, showing incredible core fanbase dedication.

Key Insights from the Top 10

The data reveals a clear split in the VTuber music economy. Freshly launched original MVs like Laplus Darknesss’s “Onesama♡Love Call” (number 3) rely on sudden, high-impact bursts from hardcore fanbases. On the flip side, tracks like Suisei’s “Bibideba” rely on the broader YouTube algorithm to hook casual listeners worldwide, sustaining hundreds of thousands of views week after week, months after release.
