How the Ranking Is Measured
This index measures verified platform velocity: the exact elapsed duration from a music video’s public YouTube premiere until it logged 100,000,000 views. Milestones are validated against official label announcements, platform chart registries, and historical analytics tracking. Artificial looping scripts, bot-inflated counts, and promotional trailers are excluded.
