The Top 5
🥇 Anaya Kandhal just celebrated her third birthday on June 21. She’s certainly got something to celebrate. Her eponymous YouTube channel that features a variety of family friendly, lovable Shorts with her parents just clocked in over 4.29 billion views in July – up 18% from the month prior. I don’t know if anyone has ever gotten that many YouTube views in a single month before. Kandhal and family did it by consistently uploading roughly 100 Shorts a month over of the last year that keep increasing in popularity. In January, each Short was averaging 14 million views. Now they’re each averaging over 20 million.
🥈 T-Series came in a distance second. The Indian multi-media conglomerate ended the week with nearly 2.91 billion views.
🥉 김프로KIMPRO is up next in third place. The South Korean Shorts and innocent, feel-good challenge-based channel uploaded 88 short-form videos to YouTube in July that each averaged upwards of 10 million views. Add that to a robust library of 3,300 videos and growing and you get almost 2.88 billion views in the month.
🌟 MrBeast dropped down to fourth place. Jimmy Donaldson’s home on YouTube had a heck of a June – what with becoming the most subscribed YouTube channel in the world, crossing 300 million subscribers, and getting 28 million subscribers in calendar month, and all. Those kinds of accomplishments are hard to top, even if you’re MrBeast. The channel dipped 19% month-over-month to just about 2.51 billion views.
✨ And rounding out the Top 5 is StarPlus. The Indian, Hindi-language, general entertainment pay TV channel from Disney Star (which is a subsidiary of Disney India), closed out July with more than 2.13 billion views.
Top Gainers
There’s a lot of weird stuff on YouTube. I don’t mean weird in a”2024 presidential race kind of way” (though there’s a lot of that stuff, too). I mean weird in a “there are creators on YouTube producing seemingly oddball content, presumably for kids that I don’t quite understand because of my age, institutional American ethnocentricity, or general tastes, but it gets an absolutely incredible amount of views” kind of way.
Super Beauty Team is the perfect example.
A Hong Kong-based group of friends got together in January of 2024 to start a channel as “a gathering place for fans of 2D culture and American comics.” At least that’s what part of their channel description says. In practice, that means a crew of young adults dressing in at-first-actual-Marvel-custumes-but-now-more-generic-comic-and-fantasy-makeup-and-clothes enact the kind of audio-effects riddled, over-the-top, short-form skits that I imagine has to be capturing the attention of a very young YouTube audience.
This Short was posted on July 29. In 5 days it’s got over 6 million views. There are dozens more on the channel like it.
This type of YouTube is not uncommon. I run into it a lot and I’m sure you do, too. But what’s impressive about Super Beauty Team is its rapid ascendancy.
On April 13, the channel had 3,700 subscribers and 2.2 million views. Now it’s got over 5.5 million subscribers, 3.7 billion views, uploading upwards of 151 Shorts a month currently averaging 7.9 million views a piece. In July the channel got 2.1 billion of those 3.7 billion views. An 88% increase over the last month and good enough for the #6 spot on the Worldwide Chart.
