This month, the top 10 web series collectively accumulated the highest number of views ever recorded: 168 million.

Visible Measures believes this boost can be explained by the increased frequency of content from series like The Station, and the explosive popularity of series that cater to general audiences, like The Annoying Orange.

Not only does The Annoying Orange hold the number one spot, but it accounts for 38% of the chart's total views at more than 64 million views.

The show might not be the most sophisticated one in the top 10, but it's still topical. A Pac-Man-themed episode hit YouTube not long after Google revived the Pac-Man craze on the game's 30th anniversary with its playable logo.

Fred's Gradual Decline

Fred used to be the champion of the chart, but he's been slipping gradually over the past few months. Why? Because he's not putting out any new content!

At first we chalked that up to the fact that the actor has been working on a Fred movie for Nickelodeon, but production has wrapped and the web series is as short on new content as ever.

However, landing at #5 with no new content on tap is nothing to shake a stick at. Charlie the Unicorn and Potter Puppet Pals also placed on the chart without new episodes.
