It’s another installment of the weekly Tubefilter Chart of the Top 50 Most Viewed U.S. YouTube Channels and a channel all about kids toys is still at the top.

Chart Toppers

DisneyCollectorBR is in first place on the U.S. charts for the 18th week in a row. The online video catalog featuring videos of adults playing with children’s toys took a marginal 1% dip in views, but still ended the week just shy of 119 million of them. Maroon 5 is up next in the #2 spot. Adam Levine’s band was sweet at “Sugar” this week and ended the seven-day stretch with more than 83.5 million views.

And rounding out the Top 5 is, once again, BluCollection. One of the other top destinations for videos of adults playing with children’s toys amassed more than 58.3 million views during the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to Roman Atwood.

The YouTube prankster had a particularly great week on YouTube thanks to a lot of plastic balls and Nissan. Under the banner of the car manufacturer’s #WithDad Super Bowl campaign, Atwood turned his home into one of the biggest ball pits ever to the delight of his kids, his girlfriend, and internet audiences around the globe. “Crazy Plastic Ball PRANK!!” quickly racked up an eight-figure view count to help give Atwood’s channel a 290% week-over-week increase in views, nearly 22.8 million views on the week, and the #41 spot on the U.S. chart.
