Chart: Official Video Chart, Amharic Secular | Edition: W45, week ending 9 Nov 2026 | Window: ethio.music view snapshots, Mon 2 Nov to Mon 9 Nov 2026 | Platform: YouTube (official uploads) | Status: Frozen 9 Nov 2026
This week’s chart ranks Amharic secular songs by the YouTube views their official upload gained between two ethio.music view snapshots. The first was captured on Mon 2 Nov 2026, 10:33:50 AM to 10:35:58 AM ET (UTC-5, standard time), and the second on Mon 9 Nov 2026, 10:38:27 AM to 10:39:06 AM ET (UTC-5, standard time). In Addis Ababa time, which does not change, that is Mon 2 Nov 2026, 6:33 PM to 6:35 PM EAT to Mon 9 Nov 2026, 6:38 PM to 6:39 PM EAT. Both snapshots were taken after the US clock change of 1 Nov, so each song’s gain covers a full seven days. The No. 1 is Teddy Afro’s Shih Bibal (Back to 90s), which gained 577,006 views.
Why this week uses our own snapshots
Our primary input, Kworb’s weekly YouTube Ethiopia figures, has not published a new week since the week ending 1 Oct 2026 (re-checked on Mon 9 Nov 2026 at 11:15 AM ET). Under our methodology, we fall back to our own weekly snapshots of public view counts. A song’s score is the views its official upload gained between the two snapshots. The window runs Monday to Monday, so it is not the standard Sunday-to-Saturday Addis Ababa chart week.
What this chart does and does not cover
- It ranks a selected sample: the 39 official or likely official Amharic secular single-song uploads we track (songs from earlier charts, our New Releases lists and our news coverage). It does not measure all Ethiopian listening, and songs we do not track cannot appear.
- YouTube view counters are public worldwide totals, not Ethiopia-only figures.
- Videos we started tracking during this week have no 2 Nov starting count, so they cannot rank until the 16 Nov 2026 edition. These include Nahom Svitak’s Hule, Helen Berhe’s Yebereta, Betselot Temesgen and Gildo Kassa’s Achichirine and Tsehaye Yohannes’s Metashilign.
- Uploads on a channel that appears to belong to the artist, label or distributor, where ownership is not yet confirmed, are marked Likely official.
- There is no movement column. Last week’s edition used the same snapshot method, so its positions can be compared directly.

Left off this board
- Helen Berhe ft. Fikadu Forsa, Shiqirqirii, Jirenya Shiferaw, Obsimee, and Netsanet Sultan’s Qindoomina preview: sung in Afaan Oromo, so they belong on the Afaan Oromo board, which has not launched yet.
- Abel Gidey, Selam Giberelna, and Mulualem Assefa, Tsibah Tikhonyo: sung in Tigrigna, so they belong on the Tigrigna board, which has not launched yet.
- Full-album, album visualizer, album trailer and lyric-video uploads, such as Teamir Gizaw’s Befikir full-album video, Teddy Afro’s Abugida album visualizer, Negestat’s album visualizers and the Ashara album trailer, are not ranked. This chart counts single-song uploads.
- Ela Shrila’s Balaye, Tarikua Berta’s Elancho and Admas’s live sessions are held until we confirm which language board they belong on.
- A second copy of Eyu Tsega’s Min Alegn Lela on another channel is no longer available. We count one primary upload per song, so the song is measured on its Nahom Records upload.
