YouTube Is Removing Its Trending Page After a Decade

After nearly a decade of showcasing viral hits and top-performing content, YouTube is officially removing its Trending page from the platform. The change, which is already rolling out, comes as part of YouTube’s continued effort to improve how users discover content that truly matters to them.

📉 A Decade-Old Feature Comes to an End

First introduced in 2015, the Trending tab was designed to highlight the most-viewed and talked-about videos on YouTube. Whether it was viral music videos, internet challenges, or massive creator uploads, the Trending page served as a snapshot of what was hot across the platform at any given moment.

But in 2025, YouTube has confirmed that this tab is being phased out. The reason? The platform has grown beyond the capacity of a one-size-fits-all trending list.

“As YouTube evolved, so did the variety of content — and viewers,” the company explained in a support post. “Trending could no longer serve everyone’s interests equally.”

🔁 Replacing Trending: YouTube Charts

In place of the traditional Trending page, YouTube is rolling out YouTube Charts, a new system that better categorizes top content by genre and interest. The goal is to provide a more personalized and organized experience for users who primarily watch specific content, such as gaming, music, or creator livestreams.

Charts will offer:

  • Category-specific rankings (e.g., top music videos, trending gaming content).

  • Geographical insights, showing what’s popular in different countries.

  • Better context, helping users understand why something is trending.

This shift reflects YouTube’s broader move toward personalization — a trend that has already shaped the Home and Explore tabs in recent years.

📊 Why the Trending Tab Was Losing Relevance

YouTube noted that the Trending page has seen declining engagement. As user behavior diversified, the feature became less effective at surfacing meaningful content to the average viewer. Someone who primarily watches tech reviews or beauty tutorials, for example, may have found little value in a Trending tab filled with unrelated videos.

Combine that with the platform’s increasingly tailored recommendation algorithms, and it’s clear why a static trending list was no longer sustainable.

🚀 What This Means for Users and Creators

For most users, this change will mean:

  • More relevant content discovery

  • Less scrolling through unrelated viral trends

  • Better insight into what’s trending in their favorite niches

For creators, YouTube Charts may provide a clearer path to visibility within specific content categories. This could help newer or niche-focused creators reach the right audiences faster.

📅 When Will This Happen?

YouTube says the removal of the Trending tab and the full rollout of YouTube Charts will happen “in the coming weeks.” Users should expect to see the change across desktop, mobile, and smart TV platforms by mid-2025.


After 10 years, YouTube removing the Trending page marks the end of an era — but also the beginning of a more customized, organized approach to showcasing viral content. As YouTube Charts rolls out, creators and viewers alike can look forward to smarter discovery and better insights into what’s hot in their favorite corners of the internet.
