It's another installment of the weekly Tubefilter Chart of the Top 50 Most Viewed U.S. YouTube Channels and a channel filled with children's toys is still in the top spot.

DisneyCollectorBR is in first place on the U.S. charts for its tenth week in a row.

The Ellen Show is next up in the #4 spot. Ellen DeGeneres' syndicated talk show's channel took an 8% hit in views, but still amassed nearly 53.5 million views on the week.

The videos helped give the channel a 322% week-over-week increase in views, the #24 spot on the U.S. chart, and more than 28.6 million views on the week.
