For the first time in nearly a month, our U.S. Top 50 went Boom. A channel that experienced explosive growth earlier in 2023 returned to the top of the U.S. chart during the third full week of July.

Here’s a look at that channel and all the other U.S.-based hubs that are chasing it in our all-American ranking:
Chart Toppers
DaFuq!?Boom! returned to the #1 spot in the U.S. Top 50 after earning 493.3 million weekly views. That’s an unusually low sum for a chart-topping total, but it was enough to lead the ranking during a lean week in the U.S. Top 50. Perhaps the American YouTube audience got off their collective screens to enjoy the long days and warm weather that midsummer provides. But there are still plenty of people who are willing to watch long-necked heads popping out of toilets. That trend brought DaFuq!?Boom! to the top of the charts, and it will now look to close out July with a bang. (Pun intended.)
CoComelon – Nursery Rhymes also improved its chart position this week. The Moonbug-owned continues to reach YouTube’s youngest viewers by providing them with a steady streamy of jingles, animations, and cute, colorful characters. That combination has proved fruitful for CoComelon for more than a decade, and the California-based channel is still going strong. By getting 458 million views over a seven-day period, CoComelon moved up one spot in the U.S. Top 50, reaching the #2 position.
The channel that was #1 in last week’s U.S. Top 50 fell back down to third place during the third full week of July. Despite that dip, MaviGadget still reaches a massive audience by depicting machines from all over the world. The gadget lovers of the world delivered 389.2 million weekly views to MaviGadget’s main channel during the week of July 23. That brought the channel above eight billion lifetime views, and it could reach another milestone next week by attracting its ten-millionth subscriber.
MrBeast ranked fourth in the latest U.S. Top 50. The biggest individual creator in the state of North Carolina (or anywhere in the United States, for that matter) sees a surge in viewership every time he releases a new high-concept, high-production-value video. Though MrBeast’s 377.4 million weekly views aren’t quite enough to reach the #1 spot, he’s gaining subscribers faster than any other U.S.-based channel, so he could one day summit this ranking.
Alan Chikin Chow rounds out this week’s U.S. top five. Like MrBeast, Chow is an individual creator who has this YouTube thing down pat. His latest seven-day total topped out at 364.3 million weekly views.
Top Gainers
YouTube’s beauty community has turned makeup enthusiasts into the faces of international brands. If amateurs can gain that much success just by sharing their favorite looks, imagine what a professional cosmetologist can gain from sharing their skills.
Thanks to Emmy Combs, we don’t have to imagine anymore. Combs is a certified cosmetics pro who has captured the attention of short-form viewers by serving up looks that require skill, precision, and (of course) fierceness. Or, to put it in Combs’ own words: “I draw on my head when I’m bored.”
For Combs, “I draw on my head” is a literal statement. The Maryland native has alopecia universalis, which means she hasn’t had hair on her body since she was a small child. Her condition has provided her with an attitude that has helped her conquer the short-form world. “Alopecia has taught me many things over the years,” she told The Daily Mail in 2018. “Confidence is the key to a happy and healthy lifestyle. I have learned that my differences from others make me who I am.”
Combs’ YouTube viewership is certainly above average. She made her first appearance in the U.S. Top 50 after snagging 146.1 million weekly views. That was good for a 62% week-over-week increase that brought Combs up to 30th place in our all-American ranking.
Though Combs’ YouTube channel has existed since 2014, those 146.1 million weekly views represent about 20% of her lifetime YouTube viewership. If current trends hold, she’s about to get a lot more viewers and subscribers. Luckily, her cosmetic training has provided her with all the abilities she needs to cater to that growing audience.
