Trend methodology
Last updated: November 1, 2026
What we track
The team reviews rising sounds, hashtags, creator formats and search demand across TikTok, Instagram and YouTube. A format becomes a template only when it has a repeatable visual action that can start from one or two clear photos.
How view totals work
View figures are aggregates of public hashtag totals connected to the trend formats we cover. They describe the trend, not traffic to ViralVideoAI. Figures are deduplicated where possible and rounded for display.
Template selection
We prioritize formats with a clear hook in the first second, native audio, a recognizable action and a natural 9:16 composition. Trends that require unsafe likenesses, fast-changing news or fragile product claims are excluded.
Updates and corrections
Rankings are refreshed at least weekly while a trend is active. Corrections can be sent to support@viralvideoai.lol with the URL and the metric in question.
