It's another installment of the weekly Tubefilter Chart of the Top 50 Most Viewed YouTube Channels Worldwide and a new channel is in the top spot.

Don't call it a comeback! PewDiePie's been here for years. The YouTube channel of the 25-year-old online video gamer Felix Kjellberg is back in the #1 spot on the charts after a nearly five week hiatus to the #2 position. Kjellberg's collection of Let's Play videos scored nearly 87.3 million views on the week, a 6% increase over its numbers from the week prior.

DisneyCollectorBR is back down to second place after enjoying five weeks in the top spot. The online video destination for toddlers wanting to see videos of childrens' toys racked up more than 84.2 million views during the week.

Top Gainers

In third place is The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. The YouTube outpost of NBC's flagship late night talk show amassed more than 70 million views in the last seven days. That's nearly 600,000 views more than the next closest TV show on the list. The Ellen Show came in a very close fourth place with nearly 69.5 million views on the week.

And rounding out the Top 5 once again is LittleBabyBum. The UK-based channel comprised of videos for every schoolchild's favorite songs amassed more than 51 million views during the week.

Distribution

The honor of one our Top Gainers this week goes to the aforementioned The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon.

Daniel Radcliffe's Patronus is apparently the Californian hip-hop duo Blackalicious. The British actor famous for his live-action portrayals of Harry Potter masterfully spit the tongue-twisting 'Alphabet Aerobics' rap live on The Tonight Show. The video of the impressive feat quickly racked up an eight-figure view count and helped push the channel of Jimmy Fallon's talk show up 280% in views on the week and into the #3 spot in the world with more than 70 million views.

All in all, the top 50 most viewed YouTube channels accounted for 1,765,620,270 views last week. Here's the distribution of a few of those channels by multi-channel network:
