This week's top breakout videos
Among faceless channels, 200 videos published in the last 30 days made this week's board, and 22 channels created in the last three months already have a breakout video. The trending YouTube videos among faceless channels, ranked by YouTube's raw view count among videos published in the last 30 days. Views per subscriber compares the video's views with its channel's subscribers when we measured them.
How ranking works
Breakout videos published in the last 30 days, from faceless channels of any age, ranked by their own views. Every number is YouTube's own, as received.
Shorts and long-form are ranked separately, each on its own scale. A channel needs consistent views across its uploads, not one lucky hit.

How to use these trends for your own videos
- Start from the format, not the topic. The formats above show which Styles keep putting videos on the board.
- Watch the first seconds of two or three top videos in that format. Note how the hook lands and how long each scene holds.
- Make your own version. New subject, same structure. Make one like this on any channel card opens Studio with the niche and Style filled in, and quotes the price first.
- Check again next week. The board updates in place once a week: if the format is still on it, make the next episode.
How Radar finds and filters these channels
- Searched once a week Radar searches YouTube through the YouTube Data API for channels created in the last three months and reads their recent videos.
- Faceless channels only It keeps only channels whose videos never show the creator, and each channel passes a faceless and suitability check before it appears.
- YouTube's own numbers Videos are ranked by YouTube's own view counts; we do not estimate or adjust them.
What Radar does not cover
Radar is not a picture of all of YouTube.
- Music videos
- Gaming streams
- Film and TV clips
- Creators on camera
It does not compute an outlier score, search niches you type in, or estimate income.
Questions about YouTube trends
Is this the same as YouTube's own trending lists?
No. YouTube's lists cover all of YouTube, music and gaming included. Radar covers only faceless channels, updates once a week, ranks by raw views and lets you make a video like any of them.
Why don't I see music videos or big creators here?
Radar lists only faceless channels: narrated stories, animations, explainers and similar formats where the creator never appears on camera.
How often is this page updated?
Once a week, after the weekly crawl. The date under the title is the last update. The rankings change in place; there are no dated archive pages.
What does views per subscriber mean?
A video's views divided by its channel's subscribers, both as YouTube reported them when we measured. A high number means the video reached far beyond the channel's followers. Channels that hide their subscriber count show a dash.
What are the trending YouTube Shorts right now?
The table holds Shorts and long-form videos together. Open every breakout video and set Format to Shorts to see only Shorts.
Is Faceless Radar free?
Yes. The rankings, channels and top videos are free and need no account. A breakdown of a channel that has none costs a few credits, or one of your free daily analyses.
Where does the data come from?
From the YouTube Data API, refreshed once a week. Videos play in YouTube's own player; the analysis and the video ideas are written by FacelessReels.tv.
