Our global ranking showed a slight decline in the #1 channel in this week’s U.S. Top 50. It continues to lead the pack in our stateside chart. It is still a top long-form hub, but it is surrounded by a growing number of short-form channels. Many of these have improved their chart positions this week.
Chart Toppers
Cocomelon Nursery Rhymes is the U.S. Top 50. It has had a great January. The California-based company, known for its kid-friendly content, added another 528.9 millions to its lifetime total in the last week. This feat boosted Cocomelon’s viewership week-over-week by 4% and brought it closer to the round-number milestone. Next week’s U.S. Top50 will show you the 150 Billion lifetime viewsCocomelon received so far.
The #2 finisher in U.S. Top 50 was a relative newcomer compared to the channel before it. Mr DegrEE was only introduced to YouTube by Shorts. However, the DIY hub has been a major draw on YouTube. Its vertical videos helped it reach 458.6 millions weekly views and its highest ranking ever in our Tubefiltercharts.
Kideo Games took third place in the Global Top 50. The short-form hub, as its name suggests, combines two popular topics on YouTube Shorts. The marriage of all-ages and gaming content has proved to be a success. Kideo Games achieved the perfect balance that was set by channels like LankyBox and has received 327,000,000 weekly views.
Kids Diana show is right behind Kideo Games. Recently, the channel’s Ukrainian-born and Florida-set kidfluencer was forced to take a backseat as Diana’s brother Roma began picking up steam. As big sisters do, Diana is returning to the top of the family food chain. To earn a high finish on the U.S. Top 50, she collected 299.2 millions weekly views.
D Billions These are the U.S.’s top five. The animated, vibrant children’s channel received 295.5 millions views during the week.
Top Gainers
The Anna Twinsieshub offers a fascinating case study to help you understand if twins really have an inborn sense of kinship. The channel’s family-friendly videos show that it takes two to tango with lookalike siblings sharing some of the spotlight.
Anna Brown is the “Anna” in Anna Twinsies’ name. She has shared her parenting journey on YouTube Shorts and TikTok. Brown, like many others in the YouTube community uses her channel for heartwarming glimpses of family life. The video of Brown’s twin children playing together has received 100,000,000 views.
Despite its name, Anna Twinsies has more to offer than twin content. Brown has actually had four children. The non-twins in the family are excited to take their turn on the screen, even if they have to mislead a local worker.
Anna Twinsies was able to gather millions of views on YouTube because it had the entire Brown family present. The family hub received 227 millions weekly views during the last week of January. This placed it in 11th position in our U.S. Top 50. It was right behind short-form starlets Marta & Rustam and Alan Chikin Chow.
Even though Anna Twinsies’ creator is a TikTok transplant, the channel is enjoying YouTube success. Brown and her family were only on YouTube in 2020. There’s still plenty of space for them to grow, even if they decide not to have more children.
