Chart Toppers

Ryan ToysReview held onto its first-place position on the chart for the third week in a row. The home video collection of six-year-old Ryan saw a 2% bump in views to top out at almost 153.5 million views on the week. In a still very distant second place is FamilyFunPack. The family-friendly YouTube channel featuring playtime footage of America’s favorite septet amassed just about 119 million views on the week.

The WWE kept its third-place spot. World Wrestling Entertainment’s online video repository on YouTube slammed down nearly 118.3 million views in the week. Justin Bieber yet again occupies the #4 spot. The 22-year-old international pop star’s online music video library dipped 5% in views to bottom out at almost 103 million views during the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is still EMI Music. The American music publisher’s online video views dipped 19% in the week to end up at nearly 76.7 million.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to Mike Posner.

Mike Posner didn’t have the best week on YouTube out of all the channels on the chart, but he did make it into the Top 50 for the first time ever. The 28-year-old singer, songwriter, rapper, and record producer who has co-written such hits as “Boyfriend” for Justin Bieber and “Sugar” for Maroon 5 had a breakout hit of his own when SeeB remixed his 2015 single “I Took a Pill in Ibiza.” The remix was uploaded way back in February 2016, but still continues to up its already incredible nine-figure view count week after week. The video’s popularity helped Posner’s YouTube channel to a 10% week-over-week increase in views, almost 30.3 million views on the week, and the #49 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,506,948,911 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 17 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Justin Bieber the highest-ranked channel of the network at #4.
Maker Studios: 5 channels in the Top 50, with Markiplier at #24.
BuzzFeed, Movieclips: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Videos at #7, Machinima’s FUNnel Vision at #41 and Movieclips’ Movieclips Trailers at #27.
