Chart Toppers

Justin Bieber maintained his spot on the top of the U.S. chart for the seventh week in a row thanks to the apparently undying popularity of the music video releases associated with his latest studio album Purpose. Fans of Bieber’s music around the globe viewed videos on his channel to the tune of nearly 220 million times during the week. WWE is in the #2 spot. The YouTube home for all things video from World Wrestling Entertainment shot up 54% in views to tap out at more than 122.3 million views on the week.

In third place is Ryan ToysReview. The biggest family-friendly toy and unboxing channel in the U.S. opened up more than 119.2 million views during the week. FamilyFunPack is up next in the #4 spot. The familial exploits of this American household of seven closed out the week with more than 111.1 million views.

And rounding out the Top 5 once again is FunToyzCollector. The channel formerly known as DisneyCollectorBR that arguably started this whole toy unboxing trend shot up 30% to top out at more than 95.2 million views in the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to 20th Century Fox.

The American film studio and distributor’s outpost on YouTube had a great week thanks to a sequel and some 1990s nostalgia. The Official Trailer for Independence Day: Resurgence (the sequel to the 1996 Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum blockbuster) hit the internet and quickly racked up an eight-figure viewcount. The two-minute-and-21-second trailer helped 20th Century Fox’s YouTube channel to a 1,523% week-over-week increase in views, nearly 45.8 million views on the week, and the #24 spot on the worldwide chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,748,862,599 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 16 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Justin Bieber the highest-ranked channel of the network at #1.
Maker Studios, NBCU: 3 channels each in the Top 50, with Maker’s DisneyCarToys at #15 and NBCU’s The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon at #12..
