How to read RisingTube: growth, acceleration and ranks

What the numbers and badges on RisingTube mean and how to use them.

RisingTube shows fast-growing channels with 10K–1M subscribers in 8 countries. The numbers below are calculated by RisingTube from public YouTube figures; they are not provided by YouTube.

Subscriber growth, 30 days

How much the subscriber count grew compared with 30 days ago. Smaller channels show bigger percentages for the same number of new subscribers, so also look at "subscribers gained".

Subscriber growth, 7 days and ▲ Accelerating

Growth over the last 7 days. When the last week is clearly faster than the monthly average, the channel gets the "▲ Accelerating" badge. Handy for spotting channels that are just taking off.

Ranks and changes

The # on each card is the channel's rank by 30-day growth within its country. ▲ and ▼ show movement compared with a week ago; NEW marks newcomers.

How to use it

• Pick your category and look at the format (Shorts/long) and upload count of growing channels
• Use "What if I did this?" to compare your channel with one of them
• Save interesting channels with ☆ and check back next week

Reading the numbers carefully

• Subscriber counts are rounded: YouTube shows public counts to three significant figures (e.g. 13,500), so small changes can appear a few days later all at once.
• Early records cover a shorter period: until 30 days are collected, growth covers the days recorded so far. The note at the top shows which day it is.
• High growth ≠ big channel: going from 10K to 20K is +100%. Check "subscribers gained" too.
