Chart Toppers

Justin Bieber‘s longtime stint at the #1 spot on the U.S. chart may finally be over. The 22-year-old international pop star’s channel witnessed a 5% dip in views on the week to bottom out at nearly 141.4 million. That provided just enough room for Ryan ToysReview to jump into the top spot. The channel headlined by a six-year-old boy who loves his toys climbed up 4% in views to top out at almost 152.6 million.

In third place, yet again, is WWE. World Wrestling Entertainment’s YouTube destination stayed relatively constant in the week with just about 140.5 million views. Next up in the #4 spot is FamilyFunPack. America’s favorite family of seven scored almost 118.5 million views in the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is still Disney Car Toys Club DCTC. The family-friendly channel from North Carolina featuring the myriad toys that infants love dipped 12% to take home over 76.3 million views on the week.

Top Gainers

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

The channel in BuzzFeed’s overarching video strategy that’s devoted to “new facts, hacks, and how-to videos” had a particularly great week on YouTube thanks to the latest installment of its true crime stories series. “The Bizarre Death Of Elisa Lam” features BuzzFeeder Ryan telling BuzzFeeder Brent the story of the 21-year-old Canadian tourist who was mysteriously found dead in a water tank at the top of the Cecil Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles back in 2013. The two head to the scene of the crime, where Ryan relates to Brent the events of Elisa’s disappearance, bizarre death, and potentially supernatural contact. The seven-minute upload amassed a high seven-figure view count and helped BuzzFeed Blue’s channel to a 39% week-over-week increase in views, almost 33.9 million views on the week, and the #38 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,514,747,572 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 Justin Bieber the highest-ranked channel of the network at #2.
Maker Studios: 5 channels in the Top 50, with Markiplier at #16.
