Top 10 Most Subscribed YouTube Channels

1. T-Series

T-Series, an Indian record label and film production house renowned for Bollywood soundtracks and Indian pop music, has been the most-subscribed YouTube channel for several years.

Their YouTube channel showcases music videos and movie previews, and has maintained the top spot for the most-viewed title since 2017.

Cocomelon, known for the immensely popular “Bath Song” that has accumulated over 5 billion views on the platform, presents 3D animated renditions of classic children’s songs and nursery rhymes, as well as some original tracks. We cannot determine whether this content is suitable for children, as that is not our responsibility. However, based on the fact that the channel has amassed 133 million subscribers, it is clear that whatever Cocomelon is doing is resonating with their audience.

3. Sony Entertainment Television

These include recreating the set of Netflix’s popular show Squid Game, where 456 contestants competed for a whopping US$456,000 prize. He has even established a burger restaurant chain, with a new branch recently opening in Hong Kong. It’s no wonder that MrBeast holds the distinction of being the top earner on the platform, with Forbes reporting that he earned a staggering US$54 million in 2021 alone.

Which is the Most Subscribed Youtube Channel?

T-Series, also known as Super Cassettes Industries Private Limited, is a music record label and film production company based in India that was founded by Gulshan Kumar on July 11, 1983. Although primarily recognized for producing Bollywood music soundtracks and Indi-pop music, the company has also had some success as a film production company. T-Series is currently India’s largest music record label, with a market share of up to 35% as of 2014, followed by Sony Music India and Zee Music. Additionally, T-Series owns and operates the most-subscribed and most-viewed YouTube channel, which has over 233 million subscribers and 212 billion total views as of January 10, 2023.

Initially, Kumar sold pirated Bollywood songs before the company started producing new music. The company’s breakthrough came with the soundtrack for the 1988 Bollywood movie Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, which became one of the best-selling Indian music albums of the 1980s with over 8 million sales. T-Series later became a leading music label with the release of Aashiqui in 1990, which sold 20 million copies and became the best-selling Indian soundtrack album of all time. However, Gulshan Kumar was murdered by the Mumbai mafia syndicate D-Company on August 12, 1997, after which T-Series was led by his son Bhushan Kumar and younger brother Krishan Kumar.

On YouTube, T-Series has a multi-channel network that consists of 30 channels (including Lahari Music) with over 382.3 million subscribers as of December 15, 2021. The T-Series YouTube team is composed of 13 people at the company headquarters, and the main T-Series channel showcases music videos and film trailers in the Hindi language, as well as occasionally in Bhojpuri, Punjabi, and English. T-Series also has other channels dedicated to content in several Indian languages including Bhojpuri, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Gujarati, Marathi, and Rajasthani. The T-Series channel became the most-viewed YouTube channel in January 2017.

Who is the Biggest Youtuber?

At the age of 13, Donaldson, using the moniker “MrBeast6000”, uploaded his first YouTube video in February 2012. His early content was mainly focused on Let’s Plays of popular games such as Minecraft and Call of Duty: Black Ops II. Additionally, he created videos estimating the net worth of other YouTubers, offering tips to aspiring content creators, and commenting on YouTube-related controversies. Donaldson did not appear in these videos very often. At that time, his channel, which was called “That-dude”, had only around 240 subscribers as of July 2013.

In 2015 and 2016, Donaldson’s popularity started to increase with his “Worst intros on YouTube” series, which mocked the introductions of YouTube videos. By mid-2016, his channel had around 30,000 subscribers. In the fall of that same year, Donaldson decided to drop out of East Carolina University to focus on creating YouTube content full-time. His mother was against this decision and forced him to leave their family home.

As his channel continued to grow, Donaldson enlisted the help of four childhood friends, namely Chris Tyson, Chandler Hollow, Garrett Ronalds, and Jake Franklin, to contribute to his videos. They also reached out to numerous other YouTubers to obtain statistics on their successful videos and to predict the platform’s recommendation system. Franklin left the group in 2020, and was subsequently replaced by Karl Jacobs, who had previously worked as a cameraman.
