Atwood’s vlog channel regularly pulls in tens of millions of views per week. This week just happened to be better than the one before thanks to a gift from YouTube to commemorate his success.

Atwood and family unbox the Platinum YouTube Play Button in a video titled “The Impossible Happened!”. The upload featuring the gift YouTube sent to commemorate Atwood’s channel having passed the 10-million-subscriber mark quickly racked up a view count in the multi-millions. That helped push Roman Atwood Vlogs up to a 20% week-over-week increase in views, almost 36.7 million views on the week, and the #47 spot on the U.S. chart.
