Chart Toppers

Ryan ToysReview held onto its first-place spot on the U.S. chart for the ninth week in a row. The four-year-old Ryan’s collection of unboxing and playtime videos climbed up 7% in views to top out at more than 125.3 million views on the week. Still in the #2 spot is Chainsmokers. The duo behind radio’s most recent hit “Closer” is down, but not by a lot, clocking in nearly 96.1 million views in the week.

In the #3 spot is Toy Freaks. The dramatized version of a family vlog channel hopped up 16% in views to end the week with more than 93.9 million of them. World Wrestling Entertainment’s WWE is next up in fourth place. The YouTube home of the professional form of sporting entertainment climbed 12% in views to top out at over 88.1 million.

And rounding out the Top 5 is FamilyFunPack. The U.S.-based familial septet dipped 3% in views, but still took home almost 84.2 million views during the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers this week goes to Walmart.

The American multi-national retail corporation had a great week on YouTube thanks to a handful of new marketing videos promoting its Halloween wares (and presumably a lot of paid advertising to promote those videos). Uploads like “The Invisible Man | Holidays With Walmart” from October 4, 2016 received almost an eight-figure view count within its first week of being live, contributing to Walmart’s 429% week-over-week increase in views, almost 30.8 million views on the week, and the #49 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,538,727,939 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 16 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Chainsmokers the top-ranked channel of the network at #2.
Maker Studios, Studio71: 3 channels each in the Top 50, with Maker’s Markiplier at #8 and Studio71’s FamilyFunPack at #5.
BuzzFeed, Movieclips, NBCU, WMG: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeedVideo at #12, Movieclips’ Movieclips at #30, NBCU’s Saturday Night Live at #25, and WMG’s Fueled By Ramen at #13.
