You can now see what weird and wonderful videos are being watched right now by people across the United States.
YouTube's new trend map can even filter by cities, age ranges and gender - and tell you whether a video is being shared a lot, or viewed a lot.
When you hover over a thumbnail on the YouTube Trends map you can see the top two most popular videos for that location.
You can then see how many views it has had in that area, as well as click the link to open it in a pop-up window.
The top 21 videos trending across the whole of America is shown on the right-side, ordered by how many regions are watching that specific clip.
YouTube's algorithm will also look for similar, or identical videos uploaded by different people.
The views and shares are collected and displayed in real-time.
Although, YouTube has said it can take up to 48 hours for videos to appear with age or gender breakdowns.
The age and gender data on a video’s audience is based on the information taken by registered YouTube users who are logged into their accounts.
Not all cities are listed because YouTube only uses regions that are 'large enough to consistently return results with some reliability.'
YouTube has said is does not track usernames, or release personal information about viewing habits.
At the moment, YouTube's Trends map only collects and displays data from the US.
Google has not announced when it will be available in other regions, but has said to 'stay tuned for future updates and explorations'.
