Chart Toppers

Ryan ToysReview maintained its first-place position on the chart for the second week in a row. Six-year-old Ryan’s home videos featuring footage from his playtime stayed relatively constant, ending the week up 1% with more than 149.8 million views. In a distant second place is FamilyFunPack. The second-highest-ranked family-friendly YouTube channel on the chart this week with a video library full of footage featuring America’s favorite family of seven amassed almost 117.4 million views in the week.

That pushed WWE down to third place. World Wrestling Entertainment’s home on YouTube took a 2% hit in views, but still slammed down over 116.9 million of them during the week. Justin Bieber is up next in the #4 spot. The 22-year-old international pop star’s online music video catalog maintained its position despite a 5% downtick in views to close out the week with 108.5 million.

And rounding out the Top 5 is EMI Music. The American music publishing conglomerate shot up 39% in views to score just shy of 95 million views on the week.

Top Gainers

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

Outside of the incredible week had by EvanTubeHD, Toy Freaks had one of the best weeks of all U.S.-based channels on the world’s largest video sharing site. The family-friendly channel composed of skits, pranks, and more showcasing Victoria, Annabelle, and their Father always does well on YouTube thanks to a weekly-or-so supply of kinda-planned playtime videos full of prepubescent shenanigans. This week was better than most as the upload “2 Swimming Pools In Our House!” received a better-than-average amount of attention, helping the channel to a 30% week-over-week increase in views, almost 50 million views on the week, and the #18 spot on the U.S. chart.

Channel Distribution

The top 50 most viewed U.S. YouTube channels this week amassed a total of 2,621,534,248 views. Here’s the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:

VEVO: 15 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 EvanTubeHD at #8.
BuzzFeed, Machinima, Movieclips, OhMyGenius, Studio71: 2 channels each in the Top 50, with BuzzFeed’s BuzzFeed Videos at #7, Machinima’s FUNnel Vision at #41, Movieclips’ Movieclips at #26, OhMyGenius’ Kids TV at #22, and Studio71’s FamilyFunPack at #2.
