August was one other huge month for Jimmy Donaldson. The person referred to as MrBeast retained his YouTube-leading place within the U.S. Prime 100 by including 11 million new subscribers throughout the eighth month of the yr.Subscribe for day by day Tubefilter Prime StoriesSubscribe
On the entire, it was a great month for particular person creators. The following three entrants after MrBeast — Topper Guild, Ben Azelart, and The Stokes Twins — are all creator-led hubs that added at the very least two million new subscribers over our most up-to-date 31-day measurement interval. One explicit creator was absent from the rating, however she discovered different methods to have an effect on the operating order.
Not even Taylor Swift can sustain with YouTube Shorts slop, however that is her attempting
In case you take a look at the century of channels which might be included on this month’s U.S. Prime 100, you may end up asking a easy query: The place the heck is Taylor Swift?
Swift arguably had the most important hit of the month on YouTube due to her look on fiancé Travis Kelce‘s New Heights. The record-shattering video podcast solely grew to become extra momentous when Swifties realized that the collab was the preamble to Swift and Kelce’s engagement.
Regardless of all that fanfare (and greater than 20 million YouTube views), Swift herself is nowhere to be discovered within the U.S. Prime 100. The one Swiftie illustration within the rating comes from a musical duo that has carried out covers of the singer-songwriter’s tracks.
They name themselves The Orona Sisters, and so they simply made their first look within the U.S. Prime 100. Throughout August, they added 594,000 new subscribers, which introduced their YouTube tally above a million. After not putting within the charts a month in the past, they completed seventieth within the newest U.S. rating.
To be clear, this example just isn’t the identical because the case of Taylor Purple TV. That musical trio that noticed their viewership balloon as a result of their channel deal with alluded to Taylor Swift’s identify and the title of one in every of her studio albums. In distinction, The Orona Sisters are true Swifties who’ve stuffed their YouTube Shorts library with temporary covers of Taylor-approved requirements like “Model.”
That’s good for The Orona Sisters. However what about Taylor herself? Even after authoring a world-beating second that centered on YouTube, Swift and her football-playing boo couldn’t sustain with all of the bizarre Jesus movies, AI slop, and Robloxers who’re operating rampant within the U.S. Prime 100.
That reality says quite a bit concerning the present state of YouTube Shorts, but it surely’s not just like the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast had a foul month. Actually, it shattered its personal viewership information on YouTube by hauling in additional than 35 million month-to-month views. And with the Chiefs’ tight finish set to start what may very well be his last season within the NFL, Travis Kelce’s largest second within the highlight might nonetheless arrive sooner or later.
Knowledge through Gospel Stats
We in all probability gained’t see Swift herself in our charts till she drops The Lifetime of A Showgirl on October 3. When that date arrives, will probably be excellent news for the pop scene’s favourite cat girl — and for admirers like The Orona Sisters.
Swift’s launch date for her twelfth album will come so early within the month that her official channel can have a great probability to crack the October version of our month-to-month rankings. Did she go for that technique as a result of it can make her look good in Tubefilter? I’m going to exit on a limb and say sure.
