Parasocial Spotlight 100 and Spotlight Global 100 Methodology

The Parasocial Spotlight 100 ranks the top English-language creators on Snapchat Spotlight each week. The Parasocial Spotlight Global 100 ranks the top creators on Spotlight worldwide, across all languages and markets.

What it measures

Rankings are computed from Spotlight views across the chart week. Views are the sole ranking component: Spotlight is a discovery surface, and view volume is its clearest signal of reach. Every creator is measured identically.

The two editions

The Spotlight 100 measures the English-language creator population. The Spotlight Global 100 measures the worldwide population. A creator not on the English edition ranks on Global against the full field. A creator may appear on both; the two charts are computed independently.

Eligibility

Individual creators with at least 10,000 subscribers. Brands, publishers, and organizational accounts are not eligible. The English edition ranks English-language creators; the Global edition ranks creators worldwide under the same floor. Creators for whom chart data is unavailable for a given week cannot be ranked that week.

The chart week

Saturday 00:00 UTC through Friday 24:00 UTC. Rankings are computed after the chart week closes and locked ahead of publication. Any correction after publication follows the supersession policy at /charts/integrity/. New editions publish Mondays at 9:00 AM ET.

Data source

Official platform data, processed by Borealis, Parasocial’s social intelligence platform.

Integrity

Editions are permanent, dated records. When a correction is required, the original edition is superseded with a public integrity note. See the integrity notes index. Disputes: [email protected], acknowledged within 2 business days and answered within 10.
