Chart Toppers

Before we get into the numbers, it’s important to note that YouTube view counts are wacky this week. And they’re wacky by A LOT. Every single channel in the Top 50 saw it’s week-over-week view count increase somewhere between 100% and 300% in the last seven days. The culprit is some kind of as-of-yet undetermined bug that the powers that be at YouTube are currently trying to squash. The massive increase in view counts started on January 14. They haven’t affected revenue, but they have inflated the numbers.

Ryan ToysReview held onto its first-place position on the U.S. chart for the twenty-third week in a row. The aging toddler’s online video repository of playtime and unboxing close out the week with almost 612.7 million views. In a far off second place is Toy Freaks. The dramatized version of a YouTube family vlogging channel took home north of 422.6 million views during the week.

In the #3 spot is WWE. The YoUTube outpost of all things World Wrestling Entertainment ended the week with more than 401.2 million viewsToyScouter is next up in fourth place. The YouTube channel that’s home to videos featuring adults dressed up in superhero costumes acting out scenarios ranging from mundane to oddball amassed over 328.1 million views in the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is Chainsmokers. The poppy DJ duo is still maintaining a possition towards the top of the charts, with nearly 325.3 million views on the week.

Top Gainers

It doesn’t quite make sense to post a Top Gainers this week as (per the paragraph up above) YouTube’s temporary viewership glitch has given every channel on the chart an incredible week. We’ll get back to this regularly scheduled portion of the Tubefilter Charts as soon as the issue is resolved.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 9,262,759,376 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

  • VEVO: 11 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Chainsmokers the top-ranked channel of the network at #5.
  • Maker Studios: 3 channels in the Top 50, with FGTeeV at #20.
  • BroadbandTV, Movieclips, Studio71, WMG: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BBTV’s WorldStarHipHop at #13, Movieclips’ Movieclips at #14, Studio71’s FamilyFunPack at #6, and WMG’s Fueled By Ramen at #9.
