Top Hispanic streamers in Q1 2023

Loading

As with other quarterly articles, Streams Charts has dug up the most watched Spanish-speaking streamers over the first quarter of 2023. These lists contain some of the most popular content creators globally, known for content ranging from gaming and simply chatting to commentary to philanthropy.

Unsurprisingly heading the list is ibai, the most-watched Spanish streamer and one of the most well-known names in the industry worldwide. The 28-year-old has also invested heavily in different fields, including the much-followed Kings League and esports organization KOI, both of which have benefitted from his fanbase and coverage of their activities. Considering his standing in the content creation business, readers can expect him to be atop such lists for years.

Next comes auronplay, another popular gaming creator who has amassed a large following across social media and streaming platforms. Such is his fame that the 34-year-old is the second most followed handle on Twitch, behind only the legendary Ninja. He is also one of the names behind the popular Minecraft and Squid Game amalgamation series, SquidCraft Twitch Rivals 2, which was held between February and March.

Third is ElSpreen, a popular name in the Just Chatting sphere, who has also spent a lot of time playing games like Minecraft and Roblox. He is also the first non-Spaniard on this list, as the 22-year-old hails from Argentina, where he has become somewhat of a celebrity. This has helped him become one of the fastest-growing Twitch streamers in 2022.

Returning to Spanish content creators, IlloJuan is the next name on this list, and he has been busy playing a lot of Project Zomboid, the 2013 open-world isometric video game. The University of Malaga alum is another who is famous for his IRL content, and his promoted playthrough stream of the first two hours of the revamped Dead Space game from February is the only one from 2023 to make it to his list of most-watched all-time broadcasts.

Rounding off the top five is another famous Spanish name, TheGrefg, who has made a name for himself thanks to his sports-related streams. The 26-year-old — incidentally celebrating his birthday today — has written three books and released three songs, apart from owning an Icon Series skin in Fortnite. Perhaps the biggest example of his fame is the fact that he conducts one of the biggest streaming award shows for content creators from Spain, Latin America, and Andorra, the ESLAND Awards.

The next name is the odd one out, seeing as it belongs to Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and is the only entry from YouTube on this list. The channel is pretty active, keeping the country’s citizens informed about its leaders’ various activities and any updates in policies and rules.

The next three entries on this list form part of the core of the biggest Spanish streamers across the world today, having contributed hugely to the market's influence in the industry. Rubius, ElMariana, and juansguarnizo are three of the most followed Twitch streamers today, with the middle name in 15th and the other two in the top 10.

Last but not least is elxokas, one of the many Hispanic content creators who grew exponentially in 2022. He is known for his variety of content, including Just Chatting and League of Legends, and an unfiltered personality that has not always been to the liking of fans and the social media world at large.

When it comes to the most popular Spanish-speaking broadcasters, many of the names above make an appearance on this list as well for reasons already outlined. The one that stands out immediately is the topper, TheGrefg, who was twice more popular than the second-placed entry. His peak viewership came during the ESLAND Awards, where ibai clinched the Streamer of the Year award for the second straight year, while his boxing tournament, La Velada del Año II, got the Event of the Year award.

There are also four new names who worked equally hard to make their presence known in the market. Shadoune666 is a Spanish Twitch streamer who is famous for his Minecraft content. In fact, the 26-year-old finished second in the recent Squid Craft Games 2 (Survival Cup), where he was the streamer with the highest concurrent viewership, and this feat helped him ease into the third position on this list.

The only two YouTube entries, El Rincón De Giorgio and DjMaRiiO, take up the seventh and tenth positions. The former, known for his entertaining content reacting and discussing clips online, got into the top ten thanks to streaming an MMA event called Dogfight Wild Tournament. The latter, a sports-focused content creator, owed his high ranking to broadcasting the Kings League match between Ultimate Mostoles and Saiyans FC.

Another Twitch name, Roier, comes in eighth, thanks mostly to his broadcast of the SquidCraft Twitch Rivals 2 Final. The Mexican is another who focuses a lot on gaming content, especially Minecraft, apart from spending time chatting with and getting to know his audience.

  The female list of most watched Hispanic broadcasters for the first quarter of the year   

Coming to the women’s side, the most watched and popular streamer over the first quarter of 2023 is rivers_gg. This well-known Mexican was watched twice more than any other content creator, having been one of the two females to appear in the list of ten fastest-growing Twitch streamers in 2022. She is popular for her Call of Duty gameplay broadcasts, aside from also playing a lot of Minecraft and Grand Theft Auto V.

Second is vickypalami, a gaming creator who favors shooting titles like Valorant and Apex Legends, thanks to her past as a pro in the latter. The Mexican also plays GTA V and Minecraft and is big on IRLs, which has been her busiest genre over the past month. For those unaware, she is also a fan of softball, a version of baseball involving larger balls, smaller fields, and only underhand pitches.

IJenz is next on this leaderboard, thanks to her Just Chatting and ASMR content, the latter of which has become quite the trend on Twitch. For someone who only started streaming during the COVID-19 pandemic‘s lockdown era, her channel has grown a lot in a short time. The Spaniard is also a cosplayer and uses Twitter to announce any upcoming streams and to advertise her merchandise.

In fourth place is Biyin_, the Valorant fan who has slowly risen up the popularity charts over the past few years. The Spain national also made these lists across 2022, showing that she continues to attract viewers and grow as a broadcaster. She is also the long-time girlfriend of auronplay, with whom she has appeared numerous times on stream.

Completing the top five lineup is one of the female Twitch stars of 2022, AriGameplays, who is another to divide her time between the Just Chatting genre and playing various games like Roblox and Fortnite. She remains popular enough to be the third-most followed female Twitch star ever and the most-followed one for Q1 2023.

Taking the sixth position is Nissaxter, who almost exclusively streams League of Legends content, including games of Spanish sides like KOI. Following her is AkuASMR, an ASMR content creator who has managed to gain a good following thanks to her active status on social media sites, thus completing a clean sweep for Twitch on this list.

Three names who share their time between gaming content and Just Chatting take up residence at the bottom of this table. Staryuuki, CrystalMolly, and IamCristinini are also known to delve into games like Resident Evil 4, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and The Last of Us Part I.

The list of most popular Hispanic female streamers, too, has lots of repeated names from the above leaderboard. The first new name is in the fifth position, taken up by littleragergirl, another gaming creator who spends time Just Chatting with her viewers. She is especially fond of Valorant and LoL, her two favorite topics when broadcasting.

Sixth is the YouTube star from Peru, RoxiCake Gamer, who seems to prefer Roblox a lot if her recent activity is anything to go by. She is also the only representative for the red platform on this table.

The seventh, eighth, and ninth spots are taken up by variety creators aroyitt, deargia, and elisawaves, respectively. Apart from Just Chatting, these broadcasters have indulged in the Food & Drink genre, Among Us, and Music, providing audiences with multiple choices in the content on the Amazon-owned site.
