Chart Toppers

Justin Bieber maintained his #1 spot on the U.S. chart for the tenth week in a row, despite a marginal 4% dip in views. The seemingly perennial popularity of the music video releases associated with the pop artist’s latest studio album Purpose helped contribute to his channel’s view count to the tune of more than 182.5 million views. In second place is Ryan ToysReview. The U.S.-based family-friendly children’s toys channels devoted to Ryan and his favorite toys unboxed its way to over 132.2 million views.

WWE dipped down one rung on the charts to occupy the third place spot despite a 4% uptick in views. All in, World Wrestling Entertainment’s YouTube destination amassed more than 124.5 million views during the seven-day timeframe. In fourth place, once again, is FamilyFunPack. The online video exploits of this American family of seven closed out the week with more than 108.5 million views.

And rounding out the Top 5 is still FunToyzCollector. The channel you may remember from its former name of DisneyCollectorBR took home more than 100.9 million views in the week.

Top Gainers

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

The 26-year-old international pop star whose YouTube channel occupied the upper echelon of this chart back around the release of her 1989 studio album is climbing back towards the top thanks to her latest music video release. ‘Out of The Woods‘ debuted on December 31, 2015 and quickly racked up an eight-figure view count, helping Swift’s channel to a 39% week-over-week increase in views, nearly 91.7 million views on the week, and the #6 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,563,942,132 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 Justin Bieber the highest-ranked channel of the network at #1.
Maker Studios: 6 channels in the Top 50, with DisneyCarToys at #11.
BuzzFeed, Collective Digital Studio, Fullscreen, Movieclips, OhMyGenius: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeedVideo at #8, CDS’ FamilyFunPack at #4, Fullscreen’s PopularMMOs at #9, Movieclips’ Movieclips Trailers at #18, and OhMyGenius’ Kids TV at #40.
