By Joshua Cohen • 04/29/2015 •

DisneyCollectorBR continued to hold onto the #1 spot on the Top 50 Most Viewed U.S. YouTube Channels chart for the 10th week in a row. YouTube’s go-to destination for playtime videos featuring children’s toys ended the week just shy of a nine-figure view count with nearly 99.2 million views. In second place is MovieClipsTrailers. The online video channel comprised of exactly the kinds of videos you’d expect given its name racked up almost 71.8 million views during the week.

Taylor Swift is in third place. The international pop star’s channel’s view count still isn’t shaking off too many numbers and closed out the week down a meager 4% with almost 65.7 million views. PopularMMOs is next up in the fourth place position. The top U.S. gamer on the chart this week saw a 6% dip in views to score just shy of 64.6 million.

And rounding out the Top 5 is BuzzFeed Videos. The YouTube home of the website dedicated to listicles, animated GIFs, and hard news amassed almost 60.9 million views in the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers in the U.S. this week goes to the aforementioned MovieClips Trailers.

The Fandango-owned YouTube channel that’s home to (as its name would suggest) trailers and teasers for upcoming major motion pictures received a sizable bump in its view count this week thanks to an upcoming flick from J.J. Abrams set in a galaxy far, far away. MovieClips Trailers was one of the first channels to publish the Star Wars: Episode VII Teaser Trailer #2 and the one-minute-and-49-second action-and-ageless-Wookie-filled preview gave the channel a 73% week-over-week increase in views, almost 71.8 million views in the week, and the #2 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 1,857,952,023 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:
