Chart Toppers

WWE is not letting go of its U.S. YouTube title belt. The online video home of World Wrestling Entertainment held onto the #1 spot on the chart this week, and despite a 4% dip in views still took home nearly 92.8 million of them. In a very distant second is FunToyzCollector (aka the channel previously known as DisneyCollectorBR). The anonymous channel all about videos of adults unboxing and playing with children’s toys was up 4% in the week to end it with almost 86.8 million views.

In third place is BuzzFeedVideo. The main YouTube destination of the popular social website known for its animated GIFs, irreverent quizzes, hard news, and listicles ended the week up 8% and just shy of 84 million views. Up next in the #4 spot is Taylor Swift. The pop star’s massive YouTube viewership saw a 19% uptick to top out at more than 82.3 million views on the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is FamilyFunPack. The channel dedicated to the familial exploits of Alyssa, David, Zac & Chris, and Michael racked up almost 75.4 million views in the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to TheAtlanticCraft.

The YouTube gaming channel powered by a self-described “Penguin and Chicken duo team taking on whatever comes our way” with the help of their trusty Atlanteans (aka the channel’s viewers and fans) had a very good week on YouTube. A steady stream of Minecraft mods and roleplay videos (including this Jaws Movie – Killing The Shark!) helped the channel to an 82% week-over-week increase in views, more than 82.7 million views on the week, and the #33 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,128,777,340 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 17 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Taylor Swift the highest-ranked channel of the network at #4.
Maker Studios: 5 channels in the Top 50, with DisneyCarToys at #7.
BuzzFeed, Fullscreen, NBCU, OhMyGenius: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Video at #3, Fullscreen’s FamilyFunPack at #5, NBCU’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at #22, and OhMyGenius’ Kids Channel at #39.
