On Youtube's browse page I am shown the most viewed videos in my country. Even if I change my country in the settings, it will still show the same results. I would like to see the most viewed videos of each category without the location bias.

Where are you changing the settings ? The one at the bottom works. To prove it the most viewed video in Mexico : Ronaldinho vs Ronaldo. – phwd♦ Mar 21 '11 at 6:14

As Philipe Harewood pointed out, it's not enough to change the country in the account settings, you must change it in the Browse page footer.
