Chart Toppers

Ryan ToysReview held onto its first-place position on the U.S. chart for the seventeenth week in a row. The four-year-old’s YouTube library full of his playtime footage took home more than 190 million views on the week. In second place is Toy Freaks. The dramatized version of your normal YouTube family vlogging channel topped out at over 124.1 million views in the week.

Next up in in the #3 spot is WWE. World Wrestling Entertainment’s home on the world’s largest video sharing site slammed down over 111.1 million views during the seven-day timeframe. Up next in fourth place is Shakira. The Colombian singer, songwriter, dancer, and record producer ended the week with more than 101.7 million views.

And rounding out the Top 5 is Justin Bieber. The 22-year-old pop star’s YouTube catalog closed out thew eek with just about 97.4 million views.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers this week goes to Saturday Night Live.

NBC’s flagship late night talkshow has put up some great numbers on YouTube this season, mostly due to Alec Baldwin‘s Donald Trump and Kate McKinnon‘s Hillary Clinton. This week was no exception, except for the one exception that McKinnon took on the role of Trump campaign advisor Kellyanne Conway instead of Clinton. The SNL Cold Open featured Trump retweeting very real United States citizens to the abject displeasure of Conway and a few government officials. The upload quickly racked up a view count in the multi-millions, pushing Saturday Night Live‘s channel up to a nearly 52.3% week-over-week increase in views, just about 52.3 million views on the week, and the #27 spot on the U.S. chart.

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 3,069,710,206 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 18 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Shakira the top-ranked channel of the network at #4.
BuzzFeed, Maker Studios, Movieclips, NBCU, Studio71: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Video at #21, Maker’s Markiplier at #16, Movieclips’ Movieclips at #32, NBCU’s Saturday Night Live at #27, and Studio71‘s FamilyFunPack at #12.
