After a one-week hiatus in second place, everyone’s favorite YouTube channel featuring videos of adults playing with children’s toys is back in the #1 spot on the charts. DisneyCollectorBR unboxed and played its way to nearly 92.1 million views in the last seven days. That means PewDiePie has once again been relegated to #2. Felix Kjellberg‘s prolific online video catalog of Let’s Play videos scored more than 80.3 million views on the week.

The Ellen Show jumped up a spot to third place. The YouTube home of Ellen DeGeneres’ eponymous syndicated daytime talk show netted nearly 60.4 million views during the week. Next up is Taylor Swift in a very close fourth place. The pop star with a new album witnessed a 69% uptick in views to end the week with more than 59.2 million of them.

And rounding out the Top 5 for the third week in a row is LittleBabyBum. The UK-based channel that has nearly all the favorite songs of any English-speaking toddler in the world racked up more than 53.2 million views during the week.

Top Gainers

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

YouTube viewers want what they want, and this week they wanted a lot of Selena Gomez’s latest single. The 22-year-old TV, movie, and now pop star’s music video for “The Heart Wants What It Wants” quickly amassed an eight-figure view count on YouTube. That helped give her channel a 348% week-over-week increase in views, over 27.1 million views on the week, and the #37 spot on the chart.
