Chart: Official Video Chart, Amharic Secular | Edition: W43, week ending 26 Oct 2026 | Window: ethio.music view snapshots, Mon 19 Oct to Mon 26 Oct 2026 | Platform: YouTube (official uploads) | Status: Frozen 26 Oct 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 19 Oct 2026, 10:41:18 AM to 10:41:24 AM ET (UTC-4), and the second on Mon 26 Oct 2026, 10:40:47 AM to 10:41:38 AM ET. In Addis Ababa time, that is Mon 19 Oct 2026, 5:41 PM EAT to Mon 26 Oct 2026, 5:40 PM to 5:41 PM EAT. Each song’s gain covers seven days, give or take a few seconds. The No. 1 is Veronica Adane ft. Rayvanny’s Bironica, which gained 980,973 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 26 Oct 2026 at 11:18 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 29 official or likely official Amharic secular 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 19 Oct starting count, so they cannot rank until the 2 Nov 2026 edition. These include Teamir Gizaw’s Shi Kitat, Abinet Demissie’s Kal Ateregn, Hewan Gebrewold’s three Millennium Hall live videos, Ela Shrila’s Balaye and Syumekal Gebre’s 2021 video for Weloye.
- 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 this week. Our last frozen edition (week ending 1 Oct 2026) was ranked on Kworb weekly streams, a different measure, so the positions are not compared.
- The editions for the weeks ending 8 Oct and 17 Oct 2026 (W41 and W42) were held and not published, because no ranking data was available at freeze time.

Left off this board
- Helen Berhe ft. Fikadu Forsa, Shiqirqirii: sung in Afaan Oromo, so it belongs on the Afaan Oromo board, which has not launched yet.
- Abel Gidey, Selam Giberelna: sung in Tigrigna, so it belongs on the Tigrigna board, which has not launched yet.
- A second copy of Eyu Tsega’s Min Alegn Lela on another channel could not be read in either snapshot. We count one primary upload per song, so the song is measured on its Nahom Records upload, and we do not estimate missing counts.
