Chart Toppers
DisneyCollectorBR continued to hold onto the #1 spot on the Top 50 Most Viewed U.S. YouTube Channels chart for the 12th week in a row. YouTube’s prime destination for videos featuring adults playing with children’s toys shot up 50% on the week to top just shy of a very impressive 123.8 million views. In a very distant second place is WWEFanNation. The YouTube outpost of World Wrestling Entertainment crushed it over the last week, slamming down 44% more views than it did the week before to end with nearly 77.5 million views over the seven-day stretch.
Taylor Swift maintained her third place position. The international country-turned-pop star’s channel’s view count was up 38% and amassed more than 77.4 million views on the week. Next up is Wiz Khalifa. The YouTube channel of the American rapper from Pittsburgh, PA saw a 43% increase in its view count to end the week with almost 70.7 million views.
And rounding out the Top 5 is BuzzFeed Videos. The YouTube home of the website dedicated to listicles, animated GIFs, and hard news racked up more than 70.3 million views during the week.
Top Gainers
The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to The Fine Bros.
The premiere online video destination of the fraternal pair of Benny and Rafi Fine (that’s also home to upwards of 12 million subscribers) always has a great week on YouTube, but this week was just particularly better than the week before. Senior citizens commenting on gruesome Mortal Kombat fatalities proved to be a hit with online video audiences, and helped the channel to an 81% week-over-week increase in views, almost 32.6 million views on the week, and the #35 spot on the U.S. chart.
Channel Distribution The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 1,857,952,023 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:
VEVO: 10 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Taylor Swift the highest-ranked channel of the network at at #3.
Maker Studios: 4 channels in the Top 50, with DisneyCarToys at #6.
