Audience Report, Week of Oct 3 – Jay-Z may have called for the death of auto-tune this summer, but looking back, our #1 episode in September was a very special episode of Auto-Tune the News featuring T-Pain. Creators The Gregory Brothers have proved their staying power with eight awesome episodes that have amassed over 5 million views on Barely Political alone.

Speaking of staying tuned, Next New Networks’ YouTube subscribers grew over 14% in September alone to almost 640,000, the subject of this week’s chart, below. And our #1 episode last week was the debut of Barely Digital’s new Samsung-sponsored series “Follow Me,” where our intrepid star Andrea Feczko jumped out of a plane with her new digital camera.
