YouTube has been around since 2005 and has changed drastically over the years. When it launched, the platform was primarily populated by individual creators who had no expectations of fame. Now, YouTube is also full of brand accounts that promote music, movies, and more.
You can subscribe to a YouTube channel to get notified when a new video publishes. The YouTube channel with the most subscribers has changed over the years as new creators join the service and viewer tastes change.
As such, you might wonder what YouTube channel has the most subscribers? In this article, we'll answer that question.
What YouTube Channel Has the Most Subscribers?
Since April 14, 2019, the most subscribed YouTube channel is T-Series, which (at the time of writing) has over 190 million subscribers and over 160 billion views on its videos combined.
T-Series is an Indian record label, best known for its Bollywood soundtracks and Indian pop music, and you'll find plenty of its videos on YouTube. T-Series is also a film production company, so its YouTube channel hosts trailers and clips from those movies. The primary language of the channel is Hindi.
The most subscribed individual YouTube channel (i.e., one that isn't owned by a brand) is PewDiePie, a Swedish man called Felix Kjellberg, best known for his Let's Play and comedy videos. He has over 110 million subscribers and occupies the fourth slot on the list of most popular YouTube channels.
For a time, PewDiePie was the most subscribed YouTube channel—period. However, T-Series quickly gained on PewDiePie. This led the Swedish creator to start a humorous feud with them, with other YouTube personalities promoting that people should subscribe to PewDiePie to help him stay on top. Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, T-Series won.
Will Anyone Ever Overtake T-Series?
While T-Series dominates the chart currently, and continues to grow its subscriber base, it's unlikely to stay on top forever. No-one knows what the future holds for YouTube; a new creator could rocket up the charts at any time.
If you have your own YouTube channel, it's easy to see how many subscribers you have within YouTube Studio. So why not go take a look and see how far you are away from T-Series? Spoiler alert... you're a long way away.
