KICK is battling little by little, and the best way to win the streaming wars is with the help of the top streamers who also use their rival platform, Twitch. Without those celebrities, it would be impossible for KICK to compete.

However, if KICK is only dependent on 10-20 top streamers, that could lead the platform into an unhealthy dependency. They would have to pay thousands of dollars to keep those streamers on the platform, which could be unsustainable.

Obviously, viewers want variety. But the numbers don’t lie: only well-known streamers have managed to pass the million hours watched mark, while only two others were over 500,000 hours.

Who are the only two streamers on Kick who had over a million hours watched in the last 7 days?

Only two streamers were able to accumulate over one million hours watched in the last 7 days: adinross with 1,288,169 hours and xqc with 1,219,197. In addition, adinross was the only one that was close to reaching 20,000 new followers in a week, with 19,025. (July 14-20, 2023)

Other notable streamers with hours watched were westcol with 639,135 hours, roshtein with 504,655 hours, and iceposeidon with 471,524. The good news is that everyone in the top 20 is over 100,000 watched hours.

So far, no streamer has reached a million followers on KICK. Even though the platform is relatively new, only adinross could come close with 533,425 followers.

The growth of the last seven days was good for some, as reports indicate that there was not only a follower spike, but also peak viewership with between 40,000 and 100,000 viewers.

The most interesting thing about the last seven days is that most of the top 5 streamers with the biggest follower spikes were doing the same thing: “Just Chatting.” And that was enough to gain over 100,000 followers.

Who are the Top 5 streamers with the biggest follower spike on Twitch?

Over the past seven days, from July 14-20, 2023, the streamers with the biggest follower spikes on Twitch were KaiCenat, river_gg, ElMariana, El Spreen, and Jynxzi. Only two of them were over the 100k mark, with KaiCenat being the leader of the table with 129,808 new followers.

Aside from the top five, 12 other streamers had big spikes over 30,000 new followers since July 14. However, other streamers could break new records next week.

However, let’s first dive into the rest of the Top 10. The second most watched movie on the platform is “On a Wing and a Prayer,” starring Dennis Quaid and Heather Graham. Also, “Top Gun: Maverick,” which was also the most lucrative film of 2022.

Other movies that are in the Top 10 are “Jurassic World Dominion,” “Tag,” “Zeros and Ones,” “Game Night,” “Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets,” “Renegades,” and “The Way Back.” Here, check out which title is the most popular on Prime Video.
