Top 50 Most Viewed U.S. YouTube Channels • Week Of 10/3/14

By Joshua Cohen • 10/05/2014 •

DisneyCollectorBR is on the top of the U.S. charts again this week. The online video collection of adults playing with children’s toys (which was recently discovered by the mainstream media) witnessed a 15% uptick in views to end the week with an impressive 80.5 million. That’s nearly twice the view count of DisneyCollector’s next closest stateside competitor.

Katy Perry‘s channel was able to rack up a substantial number of views despite no major music video releases in the past several weeks. The American pop star ended the seven-day stretch up 4% with more than 41.9 million views. Her channel is followed by Enrique Iglesias. The Spaniard who rose to successes in the 1990’s Miami music scene also maintained a near-steady weekly view count, scoring more than 37.8 million plays on the week.

Blucollection is next up in the #4 spot. The channel that, like DisneyCollectorBR, also features adults playing with children’s toys saw a 14% increase in views to top out at more than 36.5 million of them. And rounding out the Top 5 is popularmmos. Your source for “epic Minecraft content” scored nearly 33.3 million views on the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers this week goes to SimplePickup.

The channel dedicated to proving “that any guy can attract women” by way of questionable “social experiments” and even more questionable charity stunts uploaded its most-viewed video ever in the past week.

Several million online video consumers tuned into hidden camera prank in which a conventionally attractive female went on a few dates (with guys she met on Tinder) in a suit and makeup that made it looked like she put on a few pounds since she shot her online profile pictures. The results were about what you’d expect and gave SimplePickup’s YouTube channel a 1,336% week-over-week increase in views. All in, the channel topped out at nearly 19.5 million views and the #30 spot in the US.
