Chart Toppers

A 4% week-over-week decrease in views can’t keep Justin Bieber from his usual first-place position on the chart (which he’s been the owner of for 19 of the last 20 weeks). The 22-year-old international pop star’s channel ended the week with nearly 149.4 million views. Ryan ToysReview is in a very close second place. The internet’s favorite six-year-old toy reviewer scored more than 147.4 million views during the seven-day stretch.

In third place is still WWE. World Wrestling Entertainment’s YouTube outpost was up 2% in views to take home almost 139.9 million of them in the week. FamilyFunPack is next in its familiar fourth-place position. The online video library of this American family of seven amassed just about 129.2 million views on the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is Disney Car Toys Club DCTC. The North Carolina-based family-friendly channel featuring your kids’ favorite things (like Olaf, Queen Elsa, Hello Kitty, Lightning McQueen, and more) sneaked into the #5 spot despite a 12% dip in views. The channel bottomed out at just about 87 million views in the week.

Top Gainers

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

Lorne Michael’s iconic NBC variety show has been having a great run on YouTube during its 41st season. Highlighted sketches from the TV show that make their way to the official Saturday Night Live YouTube channel have regularly racked up hundreds of thousands of views. And with increasing regularity, there’s a standout sketch that sees a YouTube view count in the several-million range. The latest example is “Tidal“, in which host and musical act Ariana Granda helps save Jay-Z’s streaming music service during an outage with a number of incredible musical impressions. The clip helped SNL‘s channel to a 36% week-over-week increase in views, more than 28.6 million views on the week, and the #50 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,596,607,142 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 15 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Justin Bieber the highest-ranked channel of the network at #1.
Maker Studios: 5 channels in the Top 50, with HobbyKidsTV at #15.
BuzzFeed, Movieclips, NBCU, OhMyGenius: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeedVideo at #9, Movieclips’ Movieclips Trailers at #17, NBCU’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at #20, and OhMyGenius’ Kids TV at #43.
