When it comes to female streamers on Twitch, Imane “Pokimane” Years has long been one of the most popular and recognizable faces on the platform. So much so, in fact, that it was actually the most important transmitter in all of Twitch throughout 2020 according to some metrics. However, if a new development for the month of March is an indication of what might be going on, it looks like there would be a new queen on the hugely popular streaming website.
According to new data from Stream Charts, Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa was the best female broadcaster of March 2021, beating Pokimane who finished in second place. Amouranth accumulated 1.79 million hours of content viewed throughout the month, surpassing Pokimane, which finished slightly lower at 1.77 million hours. However, Amouranth also aired much more than Pokimane did throughout the month, which seems to be the main reason he ended up higher. Amouranth aired on Twitch for a total of 299 hours in March, while Pokimane only aired just over 93 hours.
It remains to be seen whether Amouranth will maintain this streak throughout April, but his channel is definitely one of those that has grown considerably in recent months. Part of that could be because, compared to many other streamers, the content of Amouranth on Twitch has a little more variety. Whenever you tuned in, you could see her playing video games, dancing, recording ASMR, or sleeping. Yes, Amouranth has even had the habit of streaming himself to sleep at times and, whether they believe it or not, viewers continue to watch him by the thousands.
At this point, it definitely looks like Pokimane still has the title of being the most popular female series transmitter on Twitch, given the strength of its proportion of hours aired to hours seen. Still, if Amouranth continues to increase its audience throughout 2021 in this way, it may become the platform’s next major transmitter.
