Chart Toppers
DisneyCollectorBR is in first place on the U.S. charts for the 17th week in a row. The most popular online video destination for videos of adults playing with children’s toys witnessed a 6% bump in views to top out just shy of 119.9 million of them. Taylor Swift is in second place. The pop star’s channel couldn’t shake off any views and stayed relatively constant with more than 78.6 million views on the week.
Sia is up next in third place. The enigmatic pop star had a great week on YouTube thanks to Shia LeBeouf, Maddie Ziegler and a new music video for the track “Elastic Heart“. The Australian singer’s channel ended the week with nearly 69 million views. Next up in fourth place is PopularMMOs. The U.S.-based gamer scored more than 59.1 million views in the last seven days.
And rounding out the Top 5 is BluCollection. The other channel towards the top of the chart dedicated to videos of adults playing with children’s toys amassed more than 57.7 million views during the week.
Top Gainers
The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
NBC’s flagship late night program saw an impressive 150% week-over-week increase in views thanks to an amorous Nicole Kidman and an awkward Jimmy Fallon. The Australian actress and film producer recently appeared on The Tonight Show couch across from Fallon. The two recollected the first and last time they met, when Kidman was single and interested in Fallon as a potential partner, and Fallon was single, working at Saturday Night Live, living in a shabby NYC apartment, didn’t have a taste for crackers and cheese, but did have an affinity for video games and no idea Kidman was kinda into him.
The revelation that the couple known as “Fallman” or “Kiddon” could have been an actual thing was a surprise to Fallon and a delight to audiences at home and online. The clip received an eight-figure view count and helped The Tonight Show‘s YouTube channel claim the #6 spot in the U.S. and over 54.6 million views.
Channel Distribution
The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 1,717,559,391 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:
VEVO: 18 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Taylor Swift topping out at #2.
