Felix Kjellberg‘s PewDiePie channel is in its very familiar #1 spot on the YouTube Gaming Channels Chart. The twentysomething’s prolific catalog of Let’s Play videos accompanied by the occasional personal vlog shot up 22% in views to end the month with more than 391.9 million of them. In a distant second is Stampylonghead. The UK-based gamer with a penchant for education witnessed a 23% uptick in views and scored nearly 224.6 million views on the month.
PopularMMOs is up next in the #3 spot. The top gamer on the chart who calls the United States home also saw a 22% increase in views and ended the month just shy of 191.2 million. Next up is The Diamond Minecart. A 15% bump in views pushed the second UK-based channel at the top of the chart up a spot from its fifth place position last month to end the 31-day stretch with almost 176.4 million views.
And rounding out the Top 5 is VanossGaming. The second North American in the Top 5 racked up more than 174.5 million views during the month.
