The #1 channel in the chart returned to its usual position by outpacing those popular competitors.
Chart Toppers
T-Series is currently occupying the chart position it’s held more often than anyone else. The most-watched and most-subscribed YouTube channel of all time also topped the platform in terms of weekly views after registering 586.4 million hits over a seven-day span. T-Series now has 250 million subscribers, which gives it a 62-million-subscriber cushion over the oncoming MrBeast. The Indian record label is heading into the final quarter of the year on a hot streak, but it will probably have to wait until next year to push its lifetime YouTube viewership past 250 billion.
The channel chasing T-Series on YouTube’s subscriber charts is also right behind it in the weekly Top 50. MrBeast slotted into the #2 spot in our global chart after picking up 556.2 million weekly views. The creator born Jimmy Donaldson is not just one of the biggest draws on YouTube; he’s also the subject of numerous memes in short-form clips. Clearly, channels have discovered that invoking the MrBeast name is a strategy that reliably brings in big viewership.
ZAMZAM ELECTRONICS TRADING is little more than the official channel of a single electronics store in Dubai, but in spite of its low profile, ZAMZAM continues to hold down a spot near the front of the Global Top 50. By posting short-form videos that are often set inside of their shop, the two brothers behind ZAMZAM have found an audience that stretches across international borders. During our most recent measurement period, ZAMZAM’s YouTube Shorts output included 472.6 million weekly views.
KL BRO Biju Rithvik is the #4 channel in this week’s Global Top 50. Like ZAMZAM, this channel is a family affair, as it follows the adventures of an Indian family (and their adorable children in particular). KL BRO’s videos utilize the regional language of Malayalam and reach a massive audience of non-English-speaking Indians. Thanks in part to the short-form channel’s 439.9 million weekly views, it was able to improve its ranking by four places week-over-week.
Ary Digital HD rounds out this week’s global top five. The digital home of hit Pakistani content added 438.5 million views to its lifetime YouTube total during the week that was.
Top Gainers
Like many kids, the stars of the channel Trigêmeos Do Pé Rachado enjoy playing in the water in their yard. But their setup is a little more sophisticated than a kiddie pool: They get an entire manmade beach as their shared plaything.
The channel name “Trigêmeos Do Pé Rachado” roughly translates to “cracked foot triplets.” I’m not sure what caused these Brazilian youngsters to crack their feet, but based on their YouTube videos, there are several potential culprits. They sometimes encounter wild Spongebobs and Patricks, and their improvised shoreline is frequently beset by shark attacks. Watch those lower extremities, kiddos!
Los Trigêmeos also reference the culture of their homeland through the “Cruzeiro do Neymar.” The soccer-themed cruise ship shows up in many of the channel’s most popular videos, and that’s no surprise. The ship’s namesake is Brazilian national team leader Neymar, and creators have found that they can get millions of views just by invoking his name. It’s either that or sharks.
At the end of September, the family-friendly Trigêmeos channel added 414 million weekly views to make a rare appearance in the Global Top 50. It topped out in eighth place after more than doubling its viewership week-over-week. That’s more impressive than one of Neymar’s signature skills. The Cracked Foot Triplets have now amassed a YouTube audience that includes more than 2.6 million subscribers, so don’t expect them to stop being beach bums anytime soon.
