Chart Toppers

Toy Freaks held onto first place on the U.S. charts for the third week in a row. The kinda real, kinda fake family vlog channel was down 14% in views, but still amassed almost 200.7 million views on the week. Far off in second place is WWE. The YouTube home of clips and highlights for World Wrestling Entertainment slammed down nearly 113.9 million views in the week.

In the #3 spot is Ryan ToysReview. Four-year-old Ryan’s home repository of playtime videos dropped 3% in views to end the week with more than 113.5 million. Justin Bieber is next up in fourth place. The international pop star saw a modest 1% uptick in views to close out the week with just about 94.2 million.

And rounding out the Top 5 is FamilyFunPack. The US’ favorite familial septet scored almost 89.3 million views throughout the week.

Top Gainers

The honor of one of our Top Gainers this week goes to the JesseAndMike.

The brothers “who love comedy” always do particularly well on YouTube thanks to a weekly-or-so supply of off-the-wall, zany comedy sketches that usually incorporate some kind of insect or some form of bodily harm. This week was better than most due to the breakout hit that is “SPIDER IN MOUTH!“. The video racked up an eight-figure view count and helped JesseAndMike to a 46% week-over-week increase in views, more than 55.8 million views on the week, and the #19 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,719,166,872 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 17 channels in the U.S. Top 50, with Justin Bieber the highest-ranked channel of the network at #4.
Maker Studios: 5 channels in the Top 50, with Markiplier at #23.
Studio71: 3 channels in the Top 50, with FamilyFunPack at #5.
