Chart Toppers

Justin Bieber maintained his #1 spot on the U.S. chart for the 14th week in a row. The popularity of the 21-year-old international pop star’s music video library shows just the ever-so-slightest signs of waning, dipping 2% in its week-over-week view count, but still racking up more than 184 million views in the week. In second place, once again, is Ryan ToysReview. The family-friendly channel whose headlined by a smiling six-year-old and his playtime antics amassed almost 148.1 million views during the week.

WWE held onto its #3 spot, yet again. The YouTube home for highlights, clips, and associated video footage from World Wrestling Entertainment was down 6% on the week, but still slammed down over 136.1 million views. In fourth place is FamilyFunPack. The home videos of America’s seemingly favorite family of seven came up just shy of 129.6 million views on the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 is EMI. The multinational music recording and publishing company’s online video library scored over 86.6 million views on the week.

Top Gainers

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

The 57-year-old fashion doll manufactured by Mattel recently received some long-anticipated new looks. In late-January 2016, the powers that be behind the iconic (and incredibly unrealistic) figure let the world know 33 new Barbie shapes and sizes embracing all kinds of beauty would soon be coming to market. ‘The Evolution of Barbie’ video explains those new shapes and sizes in one-minute-and-forty-six-seconds’ worth of footage featuring cute little kids, talking heads, and toy manufacturing facilities. The upload helped Barbie’s YouTube channel to a 102% week-over-week increase in views, almost 30.3 million views on the week, and the #42 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,529,008,216 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 18 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Justin Bieber the highest-ranked channel of the network at #1.
Maker Studios: 6 channels in the Top 50, with DisneyCarToys at #10.
