[AdWords Agency Blog]

Sites like YouTube are like large global focus groups. They can launch people, videos and ideas into fame faster than ever before. If you've ever wished for a way to explore and understand what is happening in real time, then you'll love YouTube Trends.

Stay on top of what's happening on YouTube and around the world -- from pop culture to breaking news -- through daily blog posts about the latest video phenomena and new content feeds like Most Shared, Trending Videos, and Trending Topics. Twice a day -- at 4am ET and 4pm ET -- we also highlight four videos receiving buzz around the web.

Dig Deeper
Using the new YouTube Trends Dashboard, discover what people are passionate about across demographics in different corners of the world. Explore the Most Shared or Most Viewed videos by location, age group and gender*. Compare three different sets of videos: e.g. find out what's popular with teens in Birmingham versus Hawaii or Poland.
