Chart Toppers

Ryan ToysReview held onto its first-place position on the U.S. chart for the twentieth week in a row. The five-year-old YouTube phenom famous for his playtime footage and unboxing videos was up 10% to take home more than 182.2 million views on the week. In a distant second place is still Shakira. The Colombian-born multi-hyphenate musician jumped up 15% in views to end the week with nearly 116.4 million.

In the #3 spot, yet again, is Toy Freaks. The heightened version of a YouTube family vlog channel hopped up 18% in views to score almost 113.8 million views during the week. WWE is next up in the #4 spot. The online video destination for all things World Wrestling Entertainment shot up 27% in views to slam down over 111.9 million views throughout the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is Justin Bieber. The international pop star’s music library on YouTube went up 20% in its week-over-week view count to end the seven-day stretch with more than 102.6 million views.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers this week goes to Mariah Carey.

The fortysomething-year-old American singer, songwriter, record producer, YouTube Red actress, and international pop star had a great week on the world’s largest video sharing site thanks to the enduring popularity of her 1994 hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You“. The music video version of the modern yuletide classic has over 200 million views on YouTube, several million of those having occurred in the most recent holiday season. Add that to Carey’s online video library and you get a 44% week-over-week increase in views, just about 47.6 million views on the week, and the #38 spot on the U.S. chart.

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 3,236,131,840 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 Shakira the top-ranked channel of the network at #2.
Studio71: 3 channels in the Top 50, with FamilyFunPack at #8.
BroadbandTV, BuzzFeed, Maker Studios, Movieclips: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BBTV’s WorldStarHipHop at #17, BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Video at #16, Maker’s FGTeeV at #21, and Movieclips’ Movieclips at #14.
