The first full week of May brought an unprecedented number of Indian channels into the Global Top 50, but it was an American creator who got the most YouTube views over our most recent seven-day measurement period. His screen name is MrBeast, and he soared past 120 billion lifetime YouTube views after collecting 1.24 billion weekly views. After MrBeast, the non-Indian channels are few and far between in our viewership ranking. Of the 50 most-watched YouTube channels of the week, a whopping 31 hail from India. That's the most numerous weekly contingent we've had from a single country since the start of 2026. Visit Tubefilter for more great stories.
