With 2022 coming to a close, Streams Charts have released their list of most-watched American streamers, with big names such as HasanAbi, Asmongold, and Trainwreckstv taking the top three slots. Other content creators, such as summit1g and Ludwig, have also commented on Twitter, as the list is indicative of who's currently trending in the streaming industry.
Political streamer and commentator "HasanAbi" Piker was quite pleased with the news. Incidentally, he won this year's News Award at the Shortys. He reacted to the Streams Charts list with a fun quip:
"I fell on?"

Despite turning heads with his contentious comments recently, Trainwreckstv congratulated the two streamers who were ahead of him for their hard work and thanked his community for their continued support, noting that he has not streamed in the last three months:
"Lud is trying to dethrone you": Ludwig's question reveals Asmongold's alt account's numbers push him above HasanAbi
The streaming industry had quite a big year in 2022, with numerous content creators making a splash online. Relatively newer streamers such as Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed had meteoric rises, gaining millions of followers in a short amount of time.
Although he had to deal with multiple controversies surrounding his organization this year, Zack "Asmongold" managed to bag the second spot on the list with some staggering numbers. However, due to various reasons, he stopped streaming on his main Twitch channel for quite some time and used his alternate account Zackrawrr.
YouTuber Ludwig Ahgren pointed this out and asked what the list would look like if the numbers from Asmongold's alternate channel were taken into account. The views from both of Asmongold's accounts appear to have surpassed HasanAbi's numbers by a significant margin. Piker even reacted to it on today's stream. Donning a British accent, the streamer read a comment from the audience which asked him to scroll down:
"Scroll down, Lud is trying to dethrone you."
After reading the tweet, HasanAbi was quite agitated and began drafting a response:
"'What is Asmon's viewership adding his alt stream?' Hey, how about you f*ck off!'"
Although he did delete his angry tweet, he proceeded to answer why xQc did not win:
"xQc is f*ckin Canadian, bruv... That's why we're f*cking number one in the United States of America, yeah. Back off Ludwig!"
