The top channel in our U.S. ranking got nearly 50% fewer views compared to its total from that week. The reason it still leads the Global Top 50 is because last week’s sum was so darn high.
All five of this week’s Chart Toppers managed at least a half-billion views. Here are some more details:

Chart Toppers
MrBeast experienced a bit of a hangover after smashing multiple records at the start of June, but even “MrBeast experiencing a viewership decline” is a bigger draw than any other U.S.-based YouTube channel. Jimmy Donaldson pulled in 710.5 million weekly views during the second week of June. That was 46% less traffic than the amount he earned during the first week of the month, when MrBeast became the most-subscribed channel of YouTube and the first channel to get more than one billion weekly views during the 2024 calendar year. With 283 million subscribers hanging onto every update, more big numbers are in MrBeast’s future.
The #2 channel in the U.S. Top 50 is moving in the opposite direction from MrBeast. As Donaldson’s viewership on his main hub subsides, Alan Chicken Chow‘s traffic is trending up. The California-based comedian collected 671.2 million weekly views to move from fifth place to second in our star-spangled ranking. Chow’s weekly viewership rose by 37%. More details about his big week can be found in our roundup of the Global Top 50.
MaviGadget is up next in the U.S. Top 50. Aside from MrBeast, this tool-focused channel is one of two top-five hubs that regularly ascends to the #1 position (the other channel in question is coming up at #5). This week, MaviGadget had to settle for third place even though its library of short-form content amassed 520.6 million weekly views. The Shorts standout has achieved a round number milestone with 30 million subscribers, and it will add the “30 billion lifetime views” achievement to its belt sometime this summer.
J House jr. is in fourth place in the U.S. Top 50. In a short-form meta defined by family-friendly program, J House jr. has come on strong with an agreeable lineup of YouTube Shorts uploads. Preschool-age viewers have flocked to those clips, which picked up 506.7 million views during the week that was. Performances like that have become typical for J House jr. over the past few months. By raising its YouTube traffic by 19% week-over-week, it moved from sixth place to fourth while approaching four billion lifetime views.
Toys and Colors rounds out this week’s U.S. top five. With content that looks a lot like the videos you’d find on J House jr., this kid-friendly upstart added 500.8 million weekly views.

Kai Cenat recently invited comedian Kevin Hart and Instagram star Druski onto his stream for a broadcast that ended up breaking records on Twitch. The collab made some hay on a different platform as well. On YouTube, viral moments from Cenat’s streams have brought millions of viewers to the Bronx-based creator’s secondary channel, Kai Cenat Live.
As its name implies, Kai Cenat Live is filled with full-length stream VODs, highlight reels, and clips from Cenat’s broadcasts. In a slightly ironic twist, the shortest snippets of Cenat’s long-form streams get more views than the reuploaded styreams themselves. One clip, which features a typical bit of banter between Cenat and fellow streamer iShowSpeed, has been seen more than 53 million times on YouTube.
iShowSpeed isn’t the only prominent creator who shows up in the most-watched Kai Cenat Live clips. Other celebs who have chopped it up alongside Cenat include rapper Ice Spice, Cenat’s good friend Ray, and yes, Kevin Hart.
Thanks in part to its powerful guest cast, Kai Cenat Live ranked 43rd in the most recent U.S. Top 50. The streamer’s secondary channel received 110.8 million weekly views. That was good for an 18% week-over-week increase that pushed Kai Cenat Live from 60th place up to its current position. The channel now has more than three billion lifetime views in all.
Cenat is currently in the midst of a bullish era, even by his lofty standards. Since he’s still the biggest star on Twitch, we’ll be paying attention to see if Kai Cenat Live can move any higher in our U.S. Top 50.
