YouTube Channel Analytics
Any public channel's recent videos, ranked by what they actually did. Shorts counted separately, outliers marked.
One video is carrying the channel
You can see which one above. Pushing the video that already works is the only version of this that makes sense: paid views on a video nobody watched stay a number in a dashboard.
What YouTube Studio will not show you
Studio is good, and it only works on channels you own. The moment you want to look at somebody else — the channel you are competing with, the one you want to learn from, the one you are thinking of sponsoring — you are back to scrolling their grid and guessing.
This reads the last fifty uploads of any public channel and puts them in order of what they did, which is the view nobody gets for free anywhere else.
The two columns that matter, and why
- Views per day is the one that survives age. Fifty uploads can span three years, and raw views reward whatever was published first. A video from last month at 4,000 views a day is outperforming one from 2023 with a bigger total.
- Multiples of the median is the number strategists actually use. A video at two times the channel median or more did not do well because the channel exists; it did well because the audience reacted to something specific. That is the video worth making again, and it is marked in the list.
Medians rather than averages, throughout. One video that went unusually far would otherwise lift the average and make every ordinary upload afterwards look like a failure.
⚠️ Shorts are counted separately, and that is not a detail
YouTube does not tell anyone through its API which videos are Shorts. The only reliable signal is the length: sixty seconds or less. This page uses that and then keeps the two groups apart everywhere, because they are distributed through different surfaces and a median mixing them describes neither.
If a channel runs both, the page also tells you which format is carrying it. That comparison is often the single most useful line on the screen, and it is one Studio does not put in front of you either.
Where the numbers come from
The official YouTube Data API, the same source YouTube serves to everyone: views, likes, comments, durations and publish dates as YouTube reports them. Not estimates, not a proprietary score out of a hundred. Where a channel hides a number, we leave it blank rather than filling the hole with a guess.

Questions
Do I need to sign in or connect my channel?
No. Everything here is public data read from a channel link. There is nothing to authorise, and it works on channels you do not own, which is the whole point.
How many videos does it read?
The most recent fifty uploads. That is enough to see a pattern and to spot the outliers, and it is the honest limit rather than a promise of the full archive.
Why are Shorts separated?
Because YouTube distributes them through a different surface and their view counts are not comparable. A median that mixes a 2 million view Short with a ten minute video at 200,000 describes neither of them.
What counts as an outlier?
Two times the channel's own median views or more. It is relative to that channel on purpose: a strong video on a small channel and a strong video on a huge one look nothing alike in absolute numbers.
Why is the view count slightly different from YouTube's?
YouTube's public counts update on a delay and are rounded on very large numbers. A small gap on a recent video is normal.
Is this the same as YouTube Studio?
No. Studio has your watch time, retention and audience data, which are private and better. This has any channel's public performance ranked, which Studio does not do at all.
