Views per day are a lifetime average (total views divided by the channel's age). Fast growing channels get more than this, channels that slowed down get less. We started tracking this channel on 24 Sept 2026; a measured pace replaces this within a day.

We could not see this channel's uploads, so this counts every view as a long video view. Move the Shorts slider below if the channel posts a lot of Shorts.

Assumptions: Music · Worldwide mix · 0% Shorts. Change any of them in the calculator below.

What the estimate assumes

RPM is what a creator actually gets per 1,000 views, after YouTube keeps its share, and it already counts the views that showed no ad. YouTube does not publish RPMs. The ranges below are typical of what creators share publicly, not official numbers.

For Ed Sheeran we use the “Music” range: $0.50 to $2 per 1,000 long video views with mostly US viewers, times 0.40 for where most viewers live (Worldwide mix). The tables for every niche and country are on the calculator page.

Shorts are paid from a shared pool, and creators report much lower RPMs for them. We use $0.03 to $0.10 per 1,000 Shorts views for US viewers, times the same country factor.

We measure the views per day ourselves, from how fast a channel's total view count grows. The big channels on our list get a reading about twice a day; any other channel gets a new one when someone looks it up again 12 or more hours later. Until there are 12 hours between two readings the page uses the lifetime average (total views divided by the channel's age) and says so. The Shorts share comes from the channel's latest uploads when we can see them.
