As fall begins, the channels that dominated the Global Top 50 throughout the summer are still on top of the chart. There are no changes to the top five in our latest update on YouTube’s most-watched channels.

That means the most-watched YouTube channel of all time is still the #1 finisher in our weekly ranking.
The Top 5
🥇 T-Series has now spent two consecutive weeks in the driver’s seat of the Global Top 50. The Indian record label is a chart-topper once again thanks to its 748.2 million weekly views. Traffic like that hasn’t always been enough for T-Series, which has earned more runner-up finishes than #1s during the 2024 calendar year. But even though T-Series’ traffic went down by 5% week-over-week, the label’s herculean viewership stayed high enough to retain the top spot. T-Series YouTube-leading lifetime viewership now sits at 266.8 billion views.
🥈 KIMPRO is the highest-ranking YouTube Shorts channel in this week’s Global Top 50. The Korean hub has captivated an audience of more than 58 million subscribers through quick-hitting, short-form uploads that touch on universal subjects like romantic relationships and pranks. During the third week of September, KIMPRO proved that its videos translate across the globe. It picked up 722.4 million weekly views to finish just behind T-Series in the ranking. Will it move up to first place next week?
🥉 Toys and Colors is leading all of the children’s entertainment hubs in this week’s Global Top 50. The U.S.-based channel is a trusted source of positive videos that parents and their young ones have relied on for years. Toys and Colors delivered a particularly strong showing during our most recent seven-day measurement period, when it hauled in 682.1 million weekly views to repeat the same third-place finish it earned a week ago.
🌟 The creator of the summer (at least as far as the charts are concerned) may be cooling off a bit. Anaya Kandhal‘s family-oriented channel was YouTube’s most-watched content destination for months, but it has now registered consecutive fourth-place finishes in the Global Top 50. Of course, that means Anaya Kandhal is still relevant, and her 638.3 million weekly views attest to that. But despite her breakout years, some other channels across the globe are now starting to catch up — with T-Series chief among them.
✨ J House jr. rounds out the global top five for the third week in a row. Like all the channels in front of it, it saw decreased traffic week-over-week, winding up with 598.1 million weekly views.
Top Gainers
Back in June, a Slavic creator named Andrey Grechka popped up on our radar. Grechka, whose channel flies the flag of Kazakhstan, was one of several individuals who rose up around that time by delivering silly and romantic videos to millions of subscribers.
Grechka’s star has only risen since then. When we profiled him back in June, he ranked 39th in the Global Top 50. As our latest update, he has moved all the way up to 16th place. His short-form content drew 386.3 million weekly views, which represented a week-over-week bump of 9%. No creators from Grechka’s home region rank as highly as he does.
So what has caused Grechka’s growth spurt? The answer, funnily enough, is the same video that brought him to our attention in the first place. When we featured him as a Top Gainer, his most-watched short was a horse-inspired pose that required the participation three members of his family. He has since uploaded a reaction to that video, and the reaction has become the second-most watched video on Grechka’s YouTube channel, with more than 168 million weekly views.

We’ve already seen a bunch of Shorts channels that have thrived by uploading the same dance routine over and over. Grechka is taking that concept to the top of the charts. His best-performing Shorts may be repeats, but his fans are happy to cue up his greatest hits over and over again. There’s a lesson there for the Shorts creators who are willing to stomach the repetition and give the people what they want.
