In this week’s U.S. Top 50, the top five was a clean sweep. All of those chart positions were occupied by channels that appeal to babies, toddlers, kids, and families.

Naturally, the channel at the top of the ranking is the only one that could conceivably call itself America’s favorite family hub.

CoComelon – Nursery Rhymes is still going strong. The California-based producer of animations for kids registered 526.6 million views during the third week of September, which established it as the clear #1 in our U.S. Top 50. How dominant is CoComelon? If you were to divide its weekly viewership in half, it would have still claimed the #4 spot in our American ranking.

LeoNata Family was the only other U.S.-based channel that crossed the 300 million view benchmark this week. The short-form content destination lost 28% of its viewership week-over-week, but it was still able to hold onto the runner-up status it earned a week ago. In total, LeoNata picked up 313.8 million weekly views and now has more than 15 billion lifetime views on YouTube.

Kids Diana Show also experienced a traffic dip between the second and third weeks of the month, but because of the viewership it already had, it was able to settle as the #3 channel in the U.S. Top 50. The family vlog, which follows the adventures of a globetrotting eight-year-old, remains one of the three most popular channels in its category. It proved its mass appeal this week by adding 294.2 million weekly views to its lifetime total.

The channel in fourth place this week rode a huge surge (+25% viewership week-over-week) to snag a spot in the U.S. top five. Vlad and Niki, which fits into a similar niche as Kids Diana Show, amassed 257.8 million weekly views and moved up 15 shots in the U.S. Top 50. The two Russian-born boys at the center of the channel have now brought more than 68 billion lifetime views to the YouTube hub that bears their names.

D Billions rounds out this week’s U.S. top five. The percussive and brightly-colored children’s channel counted 248.3 million weekly views.

Even though its name sounds like something you’d pick out of the trash, JunkTramp is emerging as a hallowed name in the extreme sports world. The California-based hub broke out on TikTok, where its high-flying videos have attracted more than seven million followers.

Now, JunkTramp’s vertical videos are arriving on YouTube Shorts in greater numbers, and the channel just made its first-ever appearance in our U.S. Top 50. It reached 34th place after scooping up 121.4 million weekly views. Not only was that a 42% week-over-week increase, but it was also more traffic than all of JunkTramp’s previous YouTube views, combined.

Those millions of viewers are thrilled by the titular structure, a trampoline wall constructed by J.R. Coles in his backyard. Aerial athletes and acrobats have used the JunkTramp to pull off astonishing feats, but no matter how many pinpoint jumps, treadmill stunts, and sideways dives those daredevils hit, their failures are equally amusing for viewers. The most-wathed clip on the JunkTramp YouTube channel, which has been seen 21 million times, is an epic fail:

I’ll applaud Coles and his colleagues for their willingness to upload their biggest bails. They won’t get one of those videos out of this week’s U.S. Top 50: For JunkTramp, the results are a pure success.

This week, our Global Top 50 is going back to YouTube basics.

A K-pop group is breaking records with an eclectic new music video. YouTube Shorts creators are hauling in millions of views with short-form videos. And all of these trendsetters are trying to catch up with the Indian channels at the top of the chart.

Chart Toppers

SET India captured the #1 position in our Global Top 50 for the third week in a row. The South Asian TV network, which has experienced long-term success on YouTube by sharing snippets of its shows, added another 622.5 million weekly views to its lifetime total during the third week of August. The Sony-owned hub was the only YouTube channel to record at least 600 million views this week, and it continues to build an archive of viral videos. 116 of its clips have pulled in at least 50 million views on YouTube.

T-Series came in second place behind its compatriot for the third week in a row. The Indian record label rarely falls lower than second place, and its current position is even a bit of an anomaly. Its 593 million weekly views weren’t quite enough to match the pace it set in June, but it’s approaching a major milestone. Next week, we expect T-Series to get its 200 billionth view on its primary YouTube channel.

Third place in the Global Top 50 went to Cocomelon – Nursery Rhymes. The U.S.-based animation hub earned 565 million views during the week that was. That figure represented a slight increase over Cocomelon’s previous weekly total, and thanks to its continued success on YouTube, the California-based operation is still the most-watched U.S.-based channel in the world.

Another U.S.-based channel followed right behind Cocomelon in this week’s Global Top 50. LeoNata Family was able to pick up 514.5 million weekly views to slot into the #4 position for the second straight week. The short-form channel has experienced extraordinary growth since posting its first YouTube Shorts clip less than a year ago. Since then, it has received 13.7 billion lifetime views.

Sony SAB rounds out this week’s global top five. The sister channel of SET India scooped up 417.9 million weekly views.

Question: What do you get when you combine a traditional Korean instrument called a gayageum, a wobbly bassline, and a West Coast-style rap breakdown?

Answer: Blackpink‘s latest single, ‘Pink Venom.’

The K-pop group — consisting of members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa — just delivered YouTube’s biggest music video premiere of 2022. And that’s not the only record ‘Pink Venom’ broke. Thanks to the song’s success, Blackpink reached 7th place in our Global Top 50, which is the highest chart position achieved by a musical group this year.

In total, Blackpink counted 377.8 million weekly views during our latest seven-day measurement period, and it has more than 25 billion lifetime views in all. Last week, the K-pop group’s channel fell outside the Top 50, so that tells you the impact ‘Pink Venom’ has had.

Blackpink has been bagging billion-view music videos since the pre-Shorts days, but YouTube’s TikTok competitor helped the foursome’s latest single strike paydirt. The #PinkVenomChallenge invites viewers to put their twists on the new video by uploading YouTube Shorts clips inspired by the Blackpink’s dance moves. Submissions to the challenge are currently being accepted, so Blackpink’s time on the Global Top 50 may not be done.
