Chart Toppers

Ryan ToysReview held onto its first-place position on the U.S. chart for an incredible 30th week in a row. Young Ryan’s eponymous YouTube destination for all your favorite unboxing and playtime videos shot up 17% to top out at almost 195.4 million views. Kinda far behind in the #2 spot is WWE. World Wrestling Entertainment’s YouTube channel full of clips, promos, and behind-the-scenes footage jumped up 21% in views to take home more than 135.2 million of them on the week.

Katy Perry is up next in the #3 spot. The 32-year-old pop star’s YouTube library continues to get plays off Perry’s recent “Chained To The Rhythm” single to the tune of over 115 million views during the week. DisneyMusicVEVO is next up in fourth place. Disney’s online music video outpost featuring uploads of its new and all-time favorite musical numbers had a huge uptick in views thanks to the theatrical release of the live-action Beauty and the Beast. Millions of fans flocked to hear the tunes from the flick and the channel amassed over 114.1 million views throughout the week.

And rounding out the Top 5, once again, is Luis Fonsi. The Puerto Rican multi-hyphenate’s January 12, 2017 release of “Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee” continues to get a lot of plays on the world’s largest video sharing site. It helped Fonsi’s channel to a 24% increase in views and more than 113.6 million views in the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers this week goes to The Ellen Show.

Ellen DeGeneres’ self-titled, CBS-syndicated, daytime talk show always does well on YouTube, but this week was better than the one before thanks in large part to a young savant. Five-year-old geography guru Nate Seltzer appeared across from DeGeneres on a recent installment of the program, where the host peppered the precocious kid with geography and national flag questions. The segment was a hit on YouTube racking up a view count in the multi-millions and helping The Ellen Show‘s channel to a 50% week-over-week increase in views, more than 70.2 million views on the week, and the #17 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 3,355,349,308 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 14 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Katy Perry the top-ranked channel of the network at #3.
BroadbandTV, BuzzFeed, Maker Studios, Movieclips, Studio71: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BBTV’s WorldstarHipHop at #20, BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Video at #15, Maker’s FGTeeV at #30, Movieclips’ Movieclips at #14, and Studio71’s FamilyFunPack at #11.
