The channel that leads our first weekly chart of June is coming off two consecutive months at the top of our rankings. The hub in question is building a kid-friendly empire and outpacing the rest of YouTube in the process.

No one can catch this week’s chart leader, but six channels did receive at least 500 million YouTube views during the week that was.
Chart Toppers
Can anyone stop Anaya Kandhal? At this point last year, the Indian creator was a relative nonfactor in our Tubefilter charts, but she has rocketed up the rankings and become YouTube’s biggest breakout star of 2024. Kandhal and her family receive most of their views on YouTube Shorts, where their positive and upbeat children’s videos have struck a chord with viewers across South Asia. The week that turned May into June was one of Anaya’s best-ever performances. Her official channel brought in 821.4 million weekly views to lead the Global Top 50.
The channel that finished second behind Anaya Kandhal in our monthly Top 100 for May is also the runner-up in our latest weekly chart. T-Series has achieved more second-place finishes than any other channel in 2024, and it continued its “always the bridesmaid, never the bride” streak as the calendar flipped to June. T-Series collected 675 million weekly views, but it’s a second fiddle in terms of weekly traffic and total subscribers. MrBeast recently passed it to take the all-time lead in the latter of those two categories.
The same channels that finished 1-2-3 in our latest monthly chart also had the same running order in our weekly rundown. KL BRO Biju Rithvik completed the trifecta of India-based chart toppers by collecting 581.1 million weekly views. Like Anaya Kandhal, KL BRO was essentially unknown before YouTube Shorts became a thing, but it has been galvanized by the proliferation of the vertical video format. By the end of June, it will likely reach two major milestones: 40 billion lifetime views and 50 million subscribers.
The highest-ranking U.S.-based channel in the Global Top 50 is Toys and Colors. With a bright, charming, and tuneful array of mixed-format videos, Toys and Colors has stayed relevant in a shifting online video landscape. It moved from seventh place in the Global Top 50 up to fourth after earning 550.6 million weekly views. That sum represented a 19% week-over-week bump, and Toys and Colors also hit a big round-number milestone. It now has 50 million subscribers on its primary channel to go along with 65.2 billion lifetime views.
ToRung rounds out this week’s global top five. The Vietnamese comedy hub continues to find fans on YouTube Shorts, where its content led it to a total of 538.7 million weekly views.
Top Gainers
Napoleon Dynamite would be proud of the creator we’re discussing in this week’s Top Gainers section. I don’t know what Andrey Grechka‘s bow hunting skills or computer hacking skills are like, but his nunchuck skills put him at the top of his class on YouTube.
Among Grechka’s five most-watched Shorts, four showcase his abilities with a pair of nunchaku. Clips that showcase his favorite tricks and the routine he uses to impress his girlfriend have both received at least 90 million total views on YouTube.
Aside from his prowess with the nunchuks, Grechka also brings a few other themes to his Shorts. He maintains a strong audience through daily uploads, some of which feature titles that are nothing more than that day’s date. His upload on February 14, for example, marries his love of martial arts to his love for his girlfriend.
And like many creators who have made names for themselves on TikTok, Grechka is known to throw down with the occasional dance routine. But his moves might not be what you expect — in several of his videos, including his all-time most-watched Short, he uses optical tricks to create gravity-defying routines.
With his eclectic mix of short-form content, Grechka just had one of his best-ever weeks on YouTube. He reached 39th place in our Global Top 50 after collecting 260.5 million weekly views. That total was 71% higher than the amount of traffic he earned during our previous seven-day measurement period, and he rocketed in from outside the Top 50 as a result.
Grechka’s star is shining as bright as it ever has on YouTube. And if he keeps refining those nunchuk skills, he’ll be the biggest hit at summer camp.
