Em I Orait by Papua New Guinean artist Tonton Malele holds rank one after the July 2, 2026 music video release climbed the U.S. chart over the Independence Day weekend. The July 7 capture is a near-total reset from the June 16 board led by Madonna and Overwatch Season 3, with three Pacific music uploads in the top fifteen and two House of the Dragon breakdowns in the top ten.

What today's YouTube trends reveal
The dominant theme is a post-holiday chart reset with three clusters: Pacific and Caribbean music, HBO trailer reactions, and fresh gaming uploads. Tonton Malele, Sean Rii, and Mal Meninga Kuri hold three top-fifteen slots, a pattern absent from the June 16 board anchored by Madonna and Overwatch Season 3.
HBO's July 5 House of the Dragon Episode 4 trailer is the clearest dated news event on today's list. Two breakdown uploads sit at ranks two and seven ahead of the July 12 premiere. Black Clover's July 4 Anime Expo reveal and the Roblox pre-launch Anime Expeditions promo fill two more trailer slots.
Every top-fifteen position changed since June 16. Madonna, Overwatch, and Netflix's The Last House dropped off. The board is built almost entirely from July 2 through July 7 uploads.
