Amouranth becomes Twitch's top female star after a year of hot tubs, ASMR and bans
Caitlin "Amouranth" Siragusa has taken her place at the top of the Amazon-owned streaming platform with a whopping 38,4 million hours of live streaming in 2021 in the Just Chatting, ASMR and hot tub categories.
This year has seen a monstrous rise in the popularity of various Twitch streams in categories such as Just Chatting, ASMR and the newly founded Hot Tubs & Pools.
At the forefront of all these streams was one man: Amurant. The 28-year-old unlocked Twitch's recipe for fame, and Siragusa's prowess at streaming fandom saw her skyrocket straight to the platform's number one spot for female content creators within a calendar year.
This year, 38,4 million hours were spent watching Amurant.
That puts her 17,6 million hours ahead of Saddammy, who hovered in second place, and 18m ahead of last year's reigning queen, Imane "Pokimane" Anis, who falls into third place.
Amouranth is by far one of the biggest names on Twitch these days.
Siragusa ends the year at the top of the Amazon-owned platform, but it's definitely been a rollercoaster year for the popular and controversial variety streamer.
Amur this year lost ads on her Twitch channel on indefinitely after she led by controversial meta-bath, and then actually pushed aside website from the same threads. She was also subject to two restrictions earlier in the year, both for casual nudity.
Beyond the purple brand, Siragusa is building a real estate empire. Using her Twitch earnings, Amurant purchased a gas station.
Most recently, the 28-year-old businesswoman signed a lucrative deal with new website PlayBoy Centerfold, which is growing to become a major competitor to popular giant OnlyFans.
The year of Siragus was filled with hot tubs, ASMR streams, and more.
While Amouranth dominated the top spot of the platform by a margin and still dominates, the rest of the female creators of Twitch have had success as well.
Outside the top three, IamCristnini (14,9 million hours watched) and Jeannie (13,9 million) rounded out the top five, according to StreamsCharts. Turkish Star Pqueen, who faced the battle with the doxers earlier this year, rose to eighth place. Duo 100 Thieves Fuslie and Kyedae make up the top 10 newest faces, after both enjoyed major breakout years.
Here are the top ten female Twitch stars:
- Amurant - 38.34m (viewing hours)
- Saddummi – 20.8m
