Is this from some public YouTube data/API? Would really like to do this for other countries.

Some similar data for many different countries is displayed on the YouTube Artists site, though there doesn't appear to be an API.
VideoAmigo already does this for all countries (sourcing from YouTube)
Top videos: https://www.videoamigo.com/music-charts/top-music-videos
Top Channels: https://www.videoamigo.com/music-charts/top-music-channels
Top Unsigned artists: https://www.videoamigo.com/music-charts/top-music-unsigned
You can sort each by country, genre, language.
I would like to do the same with my country (malaysia). Even video amigo doesn't have the stats for mine. How would one do this? That's the interesting bit.
yours as in ... you as an artist?
these are the top channels in Malaysia:

No,i am not an artist. Just for fun, to have an idea, how does; in this situation (music, be it unsigned artist or artist) youtube views coincide with the local mainstream (radio) plays.
the country, genre, language is the reported country of the artist or channel. Not of the streams.

It doesn't seem like it. I just did a quick look through the YouTube data/API and it seems like even with Vevo's auth (it looks like these are all artists with videos on Vevo and you need the content/channel owner's authorization to get reports on channels/videos) the viewer location data is only available at a country or state/province level through the API.
