KIMPRO is on pace to close out September spending the whole entire month in the #1 spot in our Global Top 50 ranking. The Korean short-form hub that watches like a hyper-colored fever dream for children who just recently discovered object permanence amassed 1.7 billion views during the week, a 6% increase on the week prior.

That kind of viewership is the reason why the channel’s likely to not see any competition in the near future. The channel’s next closest competitor trails by 510 million views! If that viewership gap was a channel in and of itself, it’d be #28 on the rankings this week.
Couples from Australia are kinda crushing right now
Carrie Ou Yeung is a 20-something financial-analyst-turned-content-creator originally born in Hong Kong and currently residing in Australia with her husband/collaborator Nick Sharma. He’s a 20-to-30-something PR-rep-turned-content-creator originally from India. They met on Tinder in 2018 and have had a largely public relationship (consummated in a recent marriage) across the internet and on their shared YouTube channel NickAndCarrie ever since.
The content has a newlywed, domestic, and wholesome vibe, with choreographed slices of life that can sometimes even seem spontaneous and almost as if it wasn’t preplanned. It gets decent viewership, too, averaging upwards of 150 million views a week. That doesn’t make them chart-topping material. (I actually discovered the channel because I was researching AI-sponsored videos on GospelStats and they surprisingly get a lot of deal flow.) But it does perhaps make them part of a growing trend of (oftentimes multicultural) couples living in Australia who are crushing it on YouTube.
Cadel Ryan and Mia Van Haarlem are a pair of 18-year-old Australian YouTubers who were present independently on social media and together on Instagram before starting their joint channel in January 2025. Cadel and Mia has amassed 10 million subscribers in the nine months since its launch (and came out as siblings dating). It’s an impressive feat, though the channel benefited from a huge head start as an offshoot of Australia’s Double Date. That Shorts juggernaut features the adolescent, meme-friendly stylings of both Cadel and Mia and another (slightly older, early twentysomething) Australian couple Jasmin and James.
The three channels have turned collaboration into an engine of dominance, showing just how far YouTube’s oldest growth hack can go when it’s scaled across multiple personalities and YouTube outposts. For instance, Double Date has 1.08 billion views this week to occupy the #4 spot, Jasmin and James has over 631 million at #16, and Cadel and Mia got almost 608 million at #20. I don’t think there’s been this geographic localization of personality-based channels that dominate the YouTube rankings since the days of Alfie and Zoella. I guess the sun is starting to never set on the British Commonwealth’s short-form, comedic vlogish empire.
