In the ever-evolving world of Twitch, the list of top Twitch streamers is always changing, and a new star has risen among the most watched female streamers. For a long time, streaming sensation and business mogul Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth’ Siragusa held the throne as the most-watched female content creator on the platform. However, in Q2 2024, she has been dethroned by one of Twitch’s biggest up-and-comers: Mira.
Amouranth has been a dominant force in the streaming world for years. In 2022, she was recognized as Twitch’s most-watched female creator. Her popularity continued into 2023, despite signing a highly lucrative deal with the new streaming site Kick. This deal didn’t hinder her growth; in fact, she began 2024 as the top female streamer across all platforms, excluding VTubers.
Nevertheless, the landscape shifted dramatically in Q2 2024. According to new statistics from Stream Hatchet and Streams Charts, Amouranth experienced a significant 24% drop in viewing hours from April to June, even though she increased her hours spent streaming. During this period, Amouranth accumulated a total of 4.12 million hours watched. Although this was still impressive, it was not enough to maintain her top spot.
The big winner of Q2 2024 was Twitch streamer Mira. She saw a massive 28% surge in viewership, with fans consuming her content for a total of 5.10 million hours. This impressive leap positioned her as the new leader among the most-watched female Twitch streamers. Mira, who boasts over 700,000 followers on Twitch, is known for her engaging IRL and Just Chatting streams. Her popularity extends beyond Twitch, with over 1 million followers on Instagram, further solidifying her presence as a top content creator.
Despite Mira’s rise, the competition remains fierce, especially when considering the impact of VTubers. Japanese VTuber Pekora leads the pack with 9.6 million hours watched, followed by Miko, ironmouse, and Koyori. These creators have set a high bar, surpassing both Mira and Amouranth in terms of viewership.
Amouranth may have been overtaken, but she remains a formidable presence in the streaming world. Her career is marked by strategic moves and innovative content, keeping her in the spotlight. Retaking her throne will be challenging, but with her proven track record, she remains a key player among the top Twitch streamers. As the platform continues to grow and evolve, the battle for the title of the most-watched female streamer is far from over.
