Chart Toppers
WWEFanNation is still at the top of the US chart this week. The YouTube home of World Wrestling Entertainment saw a modest 2% uptick in views, but that was enough to push the channel up over the 100-million-views-a-week threshold to top out at nearly 101.9 million views. Despite an 8% dip, BuzzFeedVideo is next up in second place. The main channel of the popular social website known for its listicles and animated GIFs amassed almost 78.1 million views on the week.
Next up in third place is DisneyCollectorBR. The internet’s go-to destination for videos of adults playing with children’s toys was down 4% on the week to bottom out just shy of 75.4 million views. Up next is Taylor Swift. The international country-turned-pop star’s channel’s view count took an 8% hit, but still received almost 65.4 million views.
The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to Disney Music.
Barring any breakout viral hits from other channels, the Disney Music VEVO channel and its collection of music from some of your lesser-known Disney franchises and releases had one of the best week-over-week view count increases on the chart. A music video from the Mouse House’s TV film Descendants featuring Sofia Carson helped to give the channel an 11% uptick in views, more than 40.4 million views on the week, and the #11 spot on the chart.
