Chart Toppers

Toy Freaks maintained it’s #1 spot at the top of the U.S. charts for the second week in a row, and did so in commanding fashion. The family-friendly YouTube channel that’s more or a less a heightened version of a family vlog shot up 40% in views to top out at almost 232.8 million views on the week.

In a very distant second place is WWE. World Wrestling Entertainment’s home on YouTube dipped 9% in views to bottom out at over 124.4 million views in the week. Ryan ToysReview‘ is next up in the #3 spot. Four-year-old Ryan’s home video-y playtime footage cleared nearly 117.6 million views during the week.

FamilyFunPack is up next in fourth place. America’s favorite familial septet saw a 2% increase in views to end the week with just about 106.7 million of them. And rounding out the Top 5 is Calvin Harris. The Scottish DJ and producer’s channel dipped down 12% in its weekly view count to score almost 96.5 million views on the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers this week goes to the Chainsmokers.

The American DJ duo composed of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall had a great week on YouTube thanks to the first music video release its channel’s seen in the past three months. The lyric video for “Closer ft. Halsey” was released on July 29, 2016 and quickly racked up an eight-figure view count. That upload combined with the Chainsmoker’s music video catalog contributed to a 43% week-over-week increase in views, almost 48.5 million views on the week, and the #21 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,741,452,335 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 Calvin Harris the highest-ranked channel of the network at #5.
