The table for the most watched content creators from North America (US and Canada) last year has quite a few prominent names, including Kai Cenat, xQc, and Adin Ross. However, it was the likes of CaseOh, n3on, and Jynxzi who put up some amazing numbers and witnessed massive spikes compared to 2023.
Collaboration broadcasts and massive gaming streams were crucial to this success, with the former including celebrities like Donald Trump and Kevin Hart. With that in mind, Streams Charts has prepared a list of the ten most-watched streamers from the United States and Canada, based on their cumulative watch time.
#10 Darren "IshowSpeed" Watkins Jr.
Having been just outside the top ten when this list was first curated, young sensation IShowSpeed did more than enough to sneak in by the end of 2024. YouTube Gaming was the livestreaming service of choice, although his occasional broadcasts with buddy Kai Cenat over on Rumble also attracted healthy viewership numbers.
Last year was a massive one for the Ohio native, with many of his livestreams and activities inviting a lot of attention. These 12 months did a lot to establish him as one of the most followed and famous content creators going around today.
It helped that IshowSpeed traveled a lot in 2024, including trips to Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia. A livestream from one of these sojourns in Indonesia reached a peak of over 1.04 million viewers, breaking his personal record by nearly 70%. This also made him the most popular English-speaking streamer across all platforms, the first influencer of this language to do so.
The 19-year-old's gaming broadcasts with Kai Cenat also attracted widespread attention, including playthroughs of Chained Together and Minecraft. He also used this surge in popularity to emerge as the American representative in the expansion of the successful Baller League stateside.
#9 Adin Ross
Adin Ross is a popular American internet personality and online streamer. Known for his energetic personality, controversial antics, and high-profile collaborations with celebrities, he has amassed a significant following on platforms like Twitch and Kick.
In 2024, the 24-year-old was particularly known for his livestreams of NBA 2K25 and Grand Theft Auto V (GTA). He also collaborated often with other popular streamers and celebrities, further fueling his fame in the online community.
Adin Ross' popularity also transcended the content creation space, as seen from his hosting of United States president-elect Donald Trump. This livestream put the influencer among the top ten English-speaking streamers by Peak Viewers across platforms and became his top broadcast by the same metric.
Toward the end of a year, after a fairly tumultuous couple of years, the Florida resident announced that he was leaving the Stake-backed service. Despite repeated controversies, his unique style and outspoken personality arguably made him its poster boy; with his popularity skyrocketing thanks to the 2024 US election cycle, Adin Ross will have no shortage of takers wherever he decides to go next.

In 2024, the 20-year-old's controversial behavior, including faking a brain tumor and his own death, has led to both criticism and a dedicated following. However, he continues to associate with other popular streamers like Adin Ross and has collaborated with them on various streams and events.
His controversial nature and his ability to generate buzz have made him a polarizing figure in the streaming community. Nevertheless, he remains one of the top names on Kick, with his IRL broadcasts continuing to attract healthy audience numbers.
