Chart Toppers
Justin Bieber maintained his #1 spot on the U.S. chart for the eleventh week in a row. A modest 3% uptick in views on the 21-year-old international pop star’s online video library from plays of music video releases associated with his latest studio album Purposeadded up to nearly 188 million views on the week. In second place is still Ryan ToysReview. The U.S.-based family-friendly children’s toys channels where Ryan plays with all his favorites was up 11% to top out at nearly 146.9 million views.
WWE maintained its third-place position. The online video home for all things World Wrestling Entertainment was down 4% to bottom out at just about 119.6 million views in the week. In fourth place is EMI Music. The multinational music publishing and recording company shot up 64% in views to reach more than 117.8 million views during the week.
And rounding out the Top 5 is FamilyFunPack. The home movies of an American family of seven ended the week with almost 116 million views.
Top Gainers
The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to David Bowie.
When news of David Bowie’s death on January 10, 2016 was made public, a LOT of people went to YouTube to watch and listen to classic music videos from the 69-year-old legendary multi-hyphenate. The January 7, 2016 release of the star’s latest music video ‘Lazarus’ didn’t hurt his channel’s view count either. The video easily racked up an eight-figure view count to help Bowie’s channel to a 4,783% week-over-week increase in views, almost 32.3 million views on the week, and the #39 spot on the U.S. chart.
Channel Distribution
The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,683,934,560 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.
