Chart Toppers

Ryan ToysReview held onto its first-place position on the U.S. chart for the thirteenth week in a row. The four-year-old’s library of videos featuring his playtime and toy unboxing prowess was up 9% to top out just shy of 167.5 million views on the week. Chainsmokers hopped up to the #2 spot. Online video audiences are still clicking play on the DJ duo’s latest hit “Closer” and their online video library at-large to the tune of almost 97.2 million views during the week.

Down in the #3 position is Toy Freaks. The dramatized iteration of your regular YouTube family vlog channel dipped 14% in views to bottom out at a still-impressive nearly 89.8 million views in the week. Toy Scouter is next up in fourth place. The channel with videos of adults dressing up in a variety of Disney and superhero costumes acting out an even wider variety of scenarios and events dropped 8% in views to amass over 88.9 million views throughout the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is Calvin Harris. The YouTube channel of the Scottish multi-hyphenate musician hopped up 6% in views to close out the week with more than 83.4 million.

Top Gainers

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

The fivesome composed of Coby and Cory Cotton, Garrett Hilbert, Cody Jones, and Tyler Toney (plus a panda) always does well on YouTube thanks to its weekly-or-so upload featuring trick shots, new live-action takes on 90s nostalgia, or some other type of well-executed viral fodder. This week was better than the one before, however, because of drones, a tennis ball cannon, and some target practice.

“Drone Hunting Battle” dropped on November 7, 2016 and quickly racked up a view count in the multi-millions, assisting the Dude Perfect channel in its 22% week-over-week increase in views, almost 36.4 million views on the week, and #39 spot on the worldwide chart.

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,561,786,472 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.
Studio71: 3 channels in the Top 50, with FamilyFunPack at #9.
BroadbandTV, BuzzFeed, Maker Studios, Movieclips, WMG: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BBTV’s WorldStarHipHop at #19, BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Yellow at #13, Maker’s Markiplier at #22, Movieclips’ Movieclips at #28, and WMG’s Fueled By Ramen at #11.
