Chart: Official Video Chart, Amharic Secular | Edition: W44, week ending 2 Nov 2026 | Window: ethio.music view snapshots, Mon 26 Oct to Mon 2 Nov 2026 | Platform: YouTube (official uploads) | Status: Frozen 2 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 26 Oct 2026, 10:40:47 AM to 10:42:01 AM ET (UTC-4, daylight time), and the second on Mon 2 Nov 2026, 10:33:50 AM to 10:35:58 AM ET (UTC-5, standard time). US clocks moved back one hour on 1 Nov, so in Addis Ababa time, which does not change, that is Mon 26 Oct 2026, 5:40 PM to 5:42 PM EAT to Mon 2 Nov 2026, 6:33 PM to 6:35 PM EAT. Each song’s gain therefore covers seven days and about 53 minutes. The No. 1 is Veronica Adane ft. Rayvanny’s Bironica, which gained 678,562 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 2 Nov 2026 at 11:14 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 36 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 26 Oct starting count, so they cannot rank until the 9 Nov 2026 edition. These include Teamir Gizaw’s Nabeye, Abenezer Daniel and Asche’s Kenferua and Moseb Band and Trina’s live video for Bati.
- 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, and Jirenya Shiferaw, Obsimee: 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 and album visualizer videos, such as Teamir Gizaw’s Befikir full-album video and Negestat’s album visualizers, are not ranked. This chart counts single-song uploads.
- Ela Shrila’s Balaye and Tarikua Berta’s Elancho 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.
