The month at a glance

April 2026 laid the groundwork for what May would amplify: an accelerated internationalization of the ranking and the rise of Brazilian creators. The top of the table was decided by a hair, with around ten videos almost tied, a sign of fierce competition and a very active community. Felipe Neto shone in particular, placing several videos across varied registers, while France made a notable comeback thanks to Squeezie.

To read this wrap-up properly, let's keep the method in mind: this monthly ranking aggregates the votes for videos posted during the period, with no weighting by YouTube views. A video doesn't appear here because it racked up millions of views elsewhere, but because the Flegm community chose, here, to push it up. That's why a Brazilian quiz can sit alongside a $250,000 experiment: on this table, they play the same game, by the same rules.

Rather than a month dominated by a single format, April offered a mosaic: mukbang, big-budget experiment, Brazilian serial, quiz, news commentary, K-pop and even stunt recreations. It's this diversity, more than any headliner, that defines the month.

Felipe Neto, the metronome of the month

If one channel embodies April, it's Felipe Neto. The Brazilian creator multiplied formats ("COISAS QUE VOCÊ NUNCA VIU ANTES!", "OS GRUPOS MAIS ENGRAÇADOS DO WHATSAPP", "COMIDA CONGELADA vs COMIDA DE RESTAURANTE") by alternating curiosities, humor and comparisons. This ability to offer a different angle every week while keeping an engaged audience explains his massive presence in the top. It's a lesson in consistency: not one mega-format, but a steady flow of videos that hit the mark.

The return of Squeezie on the French side

The French event of the month is Squeezie's return to the top with "QUI SUBIRA LA PIRE ÉPREUVE ?" alongside Inoxtag, Amine and Léna. In an increasingly international ranking, seeing one of the biggest French-speaking creators show up at the summit carries real symbolic weight. His creator-challenge format, close to Inoxtag's DNA, confirms that the ensemble recipe remains unbeatable with the French audience when the right names come together.

Experiments, serials and the gem of the month

The big format hasn't said its last word. MrBeast placed "Last To Leave Grocery Store, Wins $250,000," a reminder that his high-stakes endurance concept still works. On the serial side, rezendeevil kept feeding the plot of the Valentonas ("ELA DESCOBRIU QUEM É O CRUSH MASCARADO!!"), while Enaldinho came out with a memorable idea (hatching a hundred eggs bought at the market), our gem of the month for its concept, as simple as it is irresistible. Three approaches to entertainment, three successes.

Trends and rising creators

April confirms two dynamics. First, the surge of news commentary with Dalas Review, whose breakdowns of news stories and controversies find a steady audience. Then, the discreet but real presence of K-pop (ITZY's "Ice Cream" behind-the-scenes) and niche formats like movie stunt recreations (Nick Pro) or Hajime's offbeat experiments. The fastest-rising creator remains Felipe Neto, who kicks off here the Brazilian dominance we'll see in full in May.

We'll also note the strong health of Korean mukbang, with Ssoyoung outright opening the month's ranking thanks to her "Jjajang Ramen Mukbang ASMR." Far from a passing fad, the genre is settling in for the long haul and shows, month after month, that a tight-knit community weighs as much as a broad casual audience. It's one of the great lessons of this spring on Flegm: passionate niches aren't marginal curiosities but stable forces in the ranking, capable of standing up to the biggest international formats.

What this ranking reveals

April is an instructive month for how Flegm's tops are built. The most striking feature is the tightness: around ten videos sit within a handful of votes, with no undisputed winner. This compression tells of a broad, fragmented community, where several niches vote in parallel without any one crushing the others. It's very different from the all-time ranking, dominated by a few heavyweights: over a single month, it's diversity that speaks.

Another lesson: the premium on consistency. Felipe Neto doesn't owe his April dominance to one exceptional video, but to a sustained flow of content that each captures a share of votes. This model (publishing often, well, and letting accumulation do the rest) is becoming the winning strategy on Flegm, and explains why the most prolific Brazilian channels climb so high. Conversely, a creator who only publishes one big format per month risks watching the ranking slip through their fingers.

What to watch next

April hints at several dynamics still to be confirmed. Brazilian dominance, first, which is taking shape and will fully materialize in May. France's place, next: Squeezie's return proves that big French-speaking names can grab the spotlight again as soon as they decide to, but their presence stays intermittent. Finally, the emergence of niche formats (stunts, atmospheric experiences, K-pop behind-the-scenes) that gradually widen the site's palette. So many threads to follow in the coming wrap-ups.

Squeezie lights up France while Brazil rises

April 2026 was a pivotal month: France briefly reclaimed the spotlight with Squeezie, but the Brazilian groundswell and international diversity were already at work. For the viewer, it's an excellent month to explore to gauge the true breadth of Flegm. And if you're looking for where the next trend will be born, watch the rising creators, or better yet, post the video that, in your view, deserves a spot in the next wrap-up.
