Chart Toppers
WWEFanNation is yet again at the top of the US chart this week. The YouTube home of World Wrestling Entertainment saw a slight 3% uptick in views, keeping it just barely above the 100-million-views-a-week threshold to top out at nearly 104.7 million views. In the #2 spot is Taylor Swift. The international country-turned-pop star’s channel’s view count was up an impressive 34% to take home almost 87.8 million views on the week.
Up next in third place is BuzzFeedVideo. The main channel of the popular social website known for its listicles, animated GIFs, and hard news racked up more than 75.5 million views during the week. DisneyCollectorBR is next up in the #4 spot. The internet’s go-to destination for videos of adults unboxing and playing with children’s toys was down 8% on the week to bottom out just below 69.6 million views.
And rounding out the Top 5 is Justin Bieber. The young pop star’s first official video upload in 18 months helped his YouTube channel to more than 66.3 million views in the week.
Top Gainers
The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to Jimmy Kimmel Live.
The YouTube home of Jimmy Kimmel’s eponymous late night ABC talk show had a particularly great week thanks to an undercover Miley Cyrus. Prior to hosting the 2015 MTV VMA awards, Cyrus took Kimmel’s cameras to the streets of Hollywood and asked random passersby what they thought of her while she was kinda sorta poorly disguised as an Australian news anchor. Some ilarity and views ensued, bringing the channel a 105% week-over-week increase in views, more than 42.7 million views on the week, and the #11 spot on the U.S. chart.
Channel Distribution
The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 1,776,446,650 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:
VEVO: 14 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Taylor Swift the highest-ranked channel of the network at at #2.
Maker Studios: 4 channels in the Top 50, with DisneyCarToys at #6.
BuzzFeed, Collective Digital Studio, Fullscreen, MovieClips: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Video at #5, Collective Digital Studio’s Good Mythical Morning at #35, Fullscreen’s FamilyFunPack at #8, and MovieClips’ MovieClipsTrailers at #15.
