MrBeast has the most subscribers on YouTube, with 525 million on 4 November 2026. The Indian music label T-Series is second with 316 million, followed by the kids channel Cocomelon (203 million), the Indian TV network SET India (190 million) and the family channel Vlad and Niki (151 million). MrBeast took the top spot from T-Series in June 2024 and on 12 June 2026 became the first individual creator to reach 500 million subscribers, according to the YouTube Blog. Seventeen channels now have 100 million subscribers or more.
The 30 most subscribed YouTube channels in November 2026
The ranking below lists every YouTube channel with more than 83 million subscribers on 4 November 2026. It covers the main channel of each creator or company only, so second channels such as MrBeast 2 (63.0 million) and MrBeast Gaming (61.1 million) appear as separate entries further down the list and are not added to the main total. YouTube rounds public counts to three significant figures, which is why most numbers end in a round million or a single decimal.
The top of the table is lopsided. MrBeast has 209 million more subscribers than T-Series, a gap larger than the whole subscriber count of every channel on YouTube other than MrBeast and T-Series themselves. Below T-Series, the next eight channels sit between 125 million and 203 million, and the bottom half of the top 30 is packed tightly: just 23 million subscribers separate number 15 (Sony SAB, 106 million) from number 30 (Toys and Colors, 83.1 million). For how many people actually use YouTube in each market, see countries with the most YouTube users; for platform-wide figures such as revenue and watch time, see our YouTube statistics overview.
One channel stands apart: MrBeast alone has more subscribers than Cocomelon and SET India, the channels ranked third and fourth, combined (393 million).

Subscriber counts are the rounded public figures YouTube displayed on 4 November 2026. Channel country is the country set on the channel in YouTube where it is published, otherwise the home country of the owning company or creator. Type is a BusinessStats classification described in the methodology section.
Individual creators now hold 16 of the top 30 places
Sorting the top 30 by who runs each channel shows how far the balance has moved towards people rather than companies. Sixteen channels are run by individual creators, creator duos or families, and together they have 2184.5 million subscribers, or 54.8 percent of the top 30 total. The other fourteen belong to music labels, music acts, TV and film companies, a sports entertainment company and kids animation studios, with 1801.0 million subscribers between them.
Within the creator half, the largest single block is entertainment built on challenges, stunts, sketches and pranks: MrBeast, the Stokes Twins, KIMPRO, Alejo Igoa, Topper Guild, A4, Alan Chikin Chow and the ZAMZAM BROTHERS together have 1,310.7 million subscribers. Five family and kids creator channels, led by Vlad and Niki (151 million), Kids Diana Show (138 million) and Like Nastya (133 million), add another 595.7 million. PewDiePie (109 million) and the engineer Mark Rober (85.5 million) are the two long-form creators in the group, while UR Cristiano is the only athlete in the top 30.
People beat companies: creator and family channels hold 54.8 percent of the combined top 30 audience, with MrBeast alone at 13.2 percent.
| Type | Channels in top 30 | Combined subscribers | Share of top 30 | Largest channel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Individual creators and creator groups | 11 | 1588.8 million | 39.9% | MrBeast (525M) |
| Family and kids creator channels | 5 | 595.7 million | 14.9% | Vlad and Niki (151M) |
| Music labels and artists | 6 | 794.1 million | 19.9% | T-Series (316M) |
| TV, film and sports media | 5 | 620.4 million | 15.6% | SET India (190M) |
| Kids animation brands | 3 | 386.5 million | 9.7% | Cocomelon (203M) |
| All top 30 | 30 | 3985.5 million | 100% |

Shares are BusinessStats calculations from the rounded counts. Combined totals count subscriptions, not people.
- Brand channels win on volume of uploads: T-Series had 27,488 public videos and SET India more than 177,000, against 1,011 for MrBeast (counts for October and November 2026).
- Creator channels win on growth: MrBeast added about 25 million subscribers between 12 June and 4 November 2026, while T-Series added about 24 million in the 18 months from May 2025.
- Music channels come from just two countries: three Indian labels (T-Series, Zee Music Company and T-Series Bhakti Sagar) and three K-pop channels (BLACKPINK, BANGTANTV and HYBE LABELS).
- Kids content appears on both sides of the line: Cocomelon, ChuChu TV and Pinkfong are studio brands, while Vlad and Niki, Kids Diana Show and Like Nastya are family-run.
The most subscribed individual YouTubers
For readers who want only people, the list below removes labels, networks and studios. MrBeast leads by a very wide margin: his 525 million subscribers are about 3.5 times the 151 million of Vlad and Niki, the next largest creator-led channel, and of the 149 million of the Stokes Twins. YouTube says MrBeast became the most subscribed individual creator in November 2022, when he passed PewDiePie; Guinness World Records verified his count at 112,193,139 on 17 November 2022.
Kids Diana Show is the largest channel built around a girl or woman. Guinness World Records lists Diana Kydysiuk as having the most subscribers for an individual female on YouTube, with 132 million on 24 March 2025; her channel had 138 million on 4 November 2026. Like Nastya, featuring Anastasia Radzinskaya, follows at 133 million. Among creators who are not part of a family or kids channel, the Argentine Alejo Igoa (125 million) is the highest-ranked creator from outside the United States and South Korea.
| Creator rank | Channel | Subscribers | Who | Channel country |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MrBeast | 525 million | Jimmy Donaldson | United States |
| 2 | Vlad and Niki | 151 million | Brothers Vlad and Niki Vashketov | United States |
| 3 | Stokes Twins | 149 million | Alan and Alex Stokes | United States |
| 4 | Kids Diana Show | 138 million | Diana Kydysiuk and family | United States |

Rank among the 16 creator-led channels in the overall top 30. Channel country is the country set on YouTube, which for several family channels differs from the family country of origin.
United States and India supply 22 of the top 30 channels
Thirteen of the 30 largest channels have their channel country set to the United States and nine to India. Together the two countries account for 79.7 percent of the combined top 30 subscriber total. South Korea follows with four channels (KIMPRO, BLACKPINK, BANGTANTV and HYBE LABELS), and Argentina, Japan, the United Arab Emirates and Portugal have one each.
The channel country field is chosen by the channel owner, and it does not always match where creators come from. Vlad and Niki and Like Nastya were started by Russian-born families, Kids Diana Show by a Ukrainian-born family and A4 by the Belarusian creator Vlad Bumaga, yet all four now list the United States. PewDiePie, a Swedish creator, lists Japan, where he lives. The Pinkfong Baby Shark channel lists the United States even though the Pinkfong Company is based in Seoul. Some of those choices also matter for awards: YouTube does not send Creator Awards to channels in Russia or Belarus.
The Indian entries reflect a different model. All nine are run by media companies or, in one case, a family, and seven of them publish film music, TV serials or devotional music in Hindi. India is also the country with the largest YouTube audience, which our page on YouTube users by country covers in detail. Excluding T-Series, the other eight Indian channels in the top 30 have 901.7 million subscribers between them.
Two countries dominate: US-set channels hold 1,958.7 million subscribers and Indian channels 1,217.7 million, together 79.7 percent of the top 30 total.
| Country | Channels | Combined subscribers | Largest channel |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 13 | 1,958.7 million | MrBeast (525M) |
| India | 9 | 1,217.7 million | T-Series (316M) |
| South Korea | 4 | 406.6 million | KIMPRO (135M) |
| Argentina | 1 | 125 million | Alejo Igoa |

From the first 100 million channel to the first 500 million
The race for the top spot has had two defining contests. The first was T-Series against PewDiePie in 2018 and 2019, which ended when T-Series became the first channel to reach 100 million subscribers. Guinness World Records dates that record to 29 May 2019. The second was MrBeast against T-Series, which ended in early June 2024: on 2 June 2024 MrBeast posted that after six years he had finally avenged PewDiePie, and YouTube describes him as the most subscribed channel on the platform from June 2024. Guinness recorded his count at 269 million that month.
Since then the gap has widened every year. Guinness figures show MrBeast at 389 million in May 2025, when T-Series had 292 million, and at 449 million on 31 October 2025, the figure attached to the Guinness title for most subscribers on YouTube. YouTube marked his 500 millionth subscriber on 12 June 2026. By 4 November 2026 MrBeast had 525 million and T-Series 316 million.
- 29 May 2019T-Series becomes the first YouTube channel to reach 100 million subscribers (Guinness World Records).
- December 2021T-Series announces that it is the first channel to pass 200 million subscribers, with a statement from YouTube music partnerships in India.
- 17 November 2022MrBeast passes PewDiePie as the most subscribed individual creator; Guinness verifies 112,193,139 subscribers.
- 2 June 2024MrBeast overtakes T-Series to become the most subscribed channel on YouTube.
- 10 July 2024MrBeast becomes the first channel with 300 million subscribers; YouTube CEO Neal Mohan congratulates him on X the next day.
- 1 June 2025MrBeast announces 400 million subscribers, the first channel to get there.
- 31 October 2025Guinness World Records lists MrBeast with 449 million subscribers for its most subscribers on YouTube title.
- 20 February 2026BLACKPINK becomes the first Official Artist Channel to reach 100 million subscribers (YouTube Blog).
- 12 June 2026MrBeast becomes the first individual creator to reach 500 million subscribers (YouTube Blog).
The lead keeps growing: MrBeast was 117 million behind T-Series in November 2022 and 209 million ahead by November 2026.
The pace of growth explains why the lead is unlikely to close soon. Between the YouTube Blog milestone of 12 June 2026 and 4 November 2026, MrBeast gained about 25 million subscribers in under five months. T-Series gained about 24 million over the 18 months from May 2025. Only three channels have ever passed 200 million subscribers (MrBeast, T-Series and Cocomelon), and only two have passed 300 million.
Guinness category records and where those channels stand now
Guinness World Records tracks several subscriber categories beyond the overall title. Its record pages carry the figure on the date the record was verified, so comparing them with the November 2026 public counts shows how much each record holder has grown since. In every case the holder is still higher today than when Guinness last published the figure.
All five records have grown since verification: SET India added the most, about 43 million in four years.
| Guinness title | Holder | Figure at verification | Verification date | Public count, 4 Nov 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Most subscribers on YouTube | MrBeast | 449 million | 31 October 2025 | 525 million |
| First YouTube channel to reach 100 million subscribers | T-Series | 100 million | 29 May 2019 | 316 million |
| Most subscribers for an entertainment channel on YouTube | SET India | 146,720,986 | 20 November 2022 | 190 million |
| Most subscribers for an individual female on YouTube | Kids Diana Show (Diana Kydysiuk) | 132 million | 24 March 2025 | 138 million |
| Most subscribers for a band on YouTube | BLACKPINK | 100 million | 1 April 2026 | 102 million |
| Most subscribers for a musician on YouTube (male) | Justin Bieber | 73 million | 3 June 2024 | 79.6 million |
| Most YouTube subscribers gained in 24 hours | UR Cristiano (Cristiano Ronaldo) | 19,729,827 in one day | August 2024 | 83.6 million |

Guinness notes that records change daily and are not immediately updated online, so a figure on a record page can be months old. Cristiano Ronaldo launched his channel in August 2024; Guinness reported more than 48 million subscribers six days after launch.
The most subscribed music artists on YouTube
Music labels dominate the music side of the top 30, but artist channels are close behind. BLACKPINK became the first Official Artist Channel to reach 100 million subscribers, which the YouTube Blog announced on 20 February 2026, and had 102 million on 4 November 2026. BANGTANTV, the official channel of BTS, follows with 86.4 million. Justin Bieber, who holds the Guinness title for the most subscribed male musician, is the highest solo artist at 79.6 million, ahead of Eminem (67.4 million) and Taylor Swift (63.5 million). For the songs these artists stream most on audio platforms, see the most streamed tracks on Spotify.
K-pop leads: the two Korean acts hold the top two places, and BLACKPINK is the only artist channel above 100 million.
Subscribers, uploads and lifetime views of the biggest channels
Subscriber counts measure how many accounts follow a channel, not how much is watched. Lifetime views and the number of public videos tell a different story. T-Series has the most lifetime views in the group below, 362.4 billion across 27,488 videos, while MrBeast has 145.8 billion views from 1,011 videos, or about 144 million views per video. The Stokes Twins reached 149 million subscribers with only 478 public videos. For the individual videos with the most views, see our companion list of the most viewed YouTube videos.
| Channel | Subscribers | Lifetime views | Public videos | Joined YouTube | Data date |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| MrBeast | 525M | 145.78 billion | 1,011 | 20 Feb 2012 | 5 Nov 2026 |
| T-Series | 316M | 362.41 billion | 27,488 | 13 Mar 2006 | 5 Nov 2026 |
| Cocomelon | 203M | 229.51 billion | 2,174 | 1 Sep 2006 | 5 Nov 2026 |
| Vlad and Niki | 151M | 124.13 billion | 1,072 | 23 Apr 2018 | 5 Nov 2026 |
| Stokes Twins | 149M | 33.68 billion | 478 | 11 Apr 2008 | 29 Oct 2026 |
| Kids Diana Show | 138M | 126.67 billion | 1,762 | 12 May 2015 | 4 Nov 2026 |
| KIMPRO | 135M | 155.70 billion | 4,518 | 11 Nov 2017 | 24 Oct 2026 |
| Like Nastya | 133M | 123.59 billion | 1,120 | 6 Dec 2016 | 28 Oct 2026 |
| PewDiePie | 109M | 29.56 billion | 4,668 | 29 Apr 2010 | 5 Nov 2026 |
| ChuChu TV | 98.2M | 60.99 billion | 1,148 | 9 Feb 2013 | 5 Nov 2026 |
| Mark Rober | 85.6M | 19.98 billion | 276 | 20 Oct 2011 | 5 Nov 2026 |
| UR Cristiano | 83.6M | 1.67 billion | 152 | 8 Jul 2024 | 5 Nov 2026 |

Views, video counts and join dates are the public channel statistics YouTube reports; each row carries the date it was read. Mark Rober is shown at 85.6 million because his count changed between 4 and 5 November. Views per video are BusinessStats calculations.
The contrast is sharpest for UR Cristiano, which had 83.6 million subscribers but 1.67 billion lifetime views, roughly 20 views per subscriber, compared with 278 for MrBeast and 1,147 for T-Series. A celebrity can convert an existing fan base into subscribers almost overnight, which is how Cristiano Ronaldo set the Guinness record for subscribers gained in 24 hours, but heavy viewing builds over years of uploads. Ronaldo also leads the most followed Instagram accounts, which shows how much of his YouTube audience arrived from other platforms.
YouTube Creator Award tiers and who qualifies
YouTube sends physical Creator Awards, often called play buttons, when a channel reaches set subscriber milestones. The program has run for more than a decade; the YouTube Blog marked its tenth anniversary in August 2022. There are four standard tiers, and YouTube has also made custom awards for exceptional milestones, such as the custom Red Diamond award YouTube presented to BLACKPINK at 100 million.
| Award | Subscriber milestone | Top 30 channels past this level (Nov 2026) |
|---|---|---|
| Silver Creator Award | 100,000 subscribers | All 30 |
| Gold Creator Award | 1,000,000 subscribers | All 30 |
| Diamond Creator Award | 10,000,000 subscribers | All 30 |
| Red Diamond Creator Award | 100,000,000 subscribers | 17 channels (MrBeast to BLACKPINK) |

Tiers and thresholds from the YouTube Creator Awards page and YouTube Help. Passing a threshold does not guarantee an award: YouTube reviews each channel first.
- The channel must have uploaded a video in the last six months.
- No active Community Guidelines strike or violation in the past 365 days, and no active copyright strikes.
- The main content must be original; channels built on compilations, mixes or heavy use of other copyrighted material may be ineligible.
- YouTube Partner Program membership is not required, but channels rejected or suspended from it are excluded.
- Channels in 13 countries and regions, including Belarus, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Syria, are not eligible.
- Awards are for personal use only and cannot be sold; YouTube says delivery takes about two to three weeks after the shipping details are submitted.
The Red Diamond tier is the rarest. On 4 November 2026, 17 channels had 100 million subscribers or more: the channels ranked 1 to 17 above, from MrBeast at 525 million down to BLACKPINK at 102 million. Zee TV, at 99.4 million, was the next channel set to cross the line. Because awards are discretionary and some channels are inside excluded countries or rely on reused content, the number of channels past 100 million is not the same as the number holding a Red Diamond award, and YouTube does not publish a list of recipients.
How YouTube channel audiences compare with other platforms
Subscriber counts on YouTube are smaller than follower counts on some other networks, partly because YouTube counts subscriptions to a channel rather than general follows of a person. Cristiano Ronaldo had 83.6 million YouTube subscribers on 4 November 2026, while Guinness reported 637 million Instagram followers for him in August 2024. Our rankings of the most followed TikTok accounts and most liked Instagram posts cover the other two big creator platforms, and the biggest social media platforms by users puts YouTube in context against them.
Scale on YouTube also translates into business. MrBeast has used the channel to launch the Feastables snack brand and the Beast Games competition series,. For how creator fortunes compare, see the net worth of the richest social media entrepreneurs. YouTube itself is part of Alphabet, whose results are tracked on our Alphabet annual revenue page.
How this ranking was compiled
- Subscriber counts are the public figures YouTube shows for each channel, which YouTube rounds to three significant figures (for example 99.4 million or 525 million). All ranking figures refer to 4 November 2026. Because youtube.com channel pages load their counts dynamically, the values were taken from the vidIQ top 100 log of YouTube public channel statistics for that date (the same rounded values YouTube returns) and cross-checked against a second public compilation; no estimates or projections are used.
- Only main channels are ranked. Second channels, gaming channels and topic channels generated automatically by YouTube are not merged into a creator total.
- Channel country is the country the owner has set on the channel. Where that setting is not published (nine channels, listed in the country chart notes), the home country of the owning company or artist is used.
- Channel type is a BusinessStats classification based on who produces the channel: individual creators and creator groups, family and kids creator channels, music labels and artists, TV, film and sports media, and kids animation brands.
- Combined subscriber totals add up channel counts. They are not unique people, because one account can subscribe to many channels.
- Milestone dates come from Guinness World Records, the YouTube Blog, and posts by MrBeast and YouTube CEO Neal Mohan on X. T-Series announced its 200 million milestone in December 2021; we do not quote an exact day because no primary page with the day could be checked.
