Chart Toppers

WWE took home the belt for #1 Most Viewed U.S. YouTube Channel for the third week in a row. The YouTube home for all things World Wrestling Entertainment ended the week down 20%, but still racked up over 148.6 million views. Ryan ToysReview is up next in a not-so-distant second place. Six-year-old Ryan’s repository of home video-y playtime footage saw a modest 3% bump in views to top out at nearly 138.1 million views on the week.

Justin Bieber stayed in the #3 spot. The 22-year-old international pop star’s online music video outpost dipped 2% in views, but still scored nearly 120.3 million views on the week. FamilyFunPack is next up in fourth place. The home video library of America’s favorite family of seven amassed almost 120.1 million views in the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Fallon’s eponymous late night NBC talk show’s home on YouTube witnessed a 133% uptick in views thanks to a Melissa McCarthy lip sync battle. The channel ended the week with almost 76.8 million views.

Top Gainers

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

On April 7, 2016, Star Wars‘ YouTube channel uploaded the first official teaser trailer for the Disney franchise’s upcoming theatrical release Rogue One. And the fact this addition to the Star Wars canon is a kind of offshoot and doesn’t follow the traditional prequel/sequel timeline of the other seven flicks didn’t stop the upload from receiving a ton of views. Rabid viewers quickly forced “ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY Official Teaser Trailer” to an eight-figure view count, which helped the Star Wars channel to a 1,692% week-over-week increase in views, nearly 40.7 million views on the week, and the #30 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,602,273,394 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 #3.
Maker Studios: 4 channels in the Top 50, with DisneyCarToys at #19.
BuzzFeed, Movieclips, OhMyGenius, Studio71: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Videos at #6, Movieclips’ Movieclips Trailers at #23, OhMyGenius’ Kids TV at #28, and Studio71’s FamilyFunPack at #4.
