Yourfavoritemartian (or YFM) is a music channel created by Ray William Johnson in March of 2006, though he didn't upload until almost five years later. As of September 5, 2013, the channel had over 2.2 million subscribers, and was 120th most subscribed channel, having been the 28th most subscribed channel overall and at one point the most subscribed music channel on YouTube. The channel had much anticipation ever since it was first mentioned. The first official video of the channel, a music video called "My Balls," was released on January 26, 2011 and, a week after uploading, had 6.5 million views, eventually taking its place as one of the most viral videos in YouTube history. As of September 26th, 2012, there were 43 uploaded videos by Yourfavoritemartian, with no further videos added since (see below). YFM also launched a short film series in October of 2011 entitled "Your Favorite Martian: The Series," which features the antics of PuffPuff and the other members while on tour.
On May 9, 2012, Your Favorite Martian began doing cover songs, explaining that all original content was going towards the album they had just announced. However, on November 30, 2012, the band announced that the "project had been retired." This was a direct result of a dispute between Maker Studios and Ray William Johnson, the co-creator of the band. Maker Studios, who had funded the production of YFM, and, specifically, the announced album, demanded a higher revenue share of Johnson's AdSense revenue and more control over the joint intellectual property of the two parties and, when Johnson declined, the network cut funding for the album. While eager fans have speculated that perhaps the album will be released at a later time, it is almost certain at this point that it never will.
